I promise you. You think I’m playing? I swear to God. I swear to God. I’ll f— you up. You and your wife. I’ll f— you up. … I promise you. [On] everything I love — everything I love — I promise you

The Utah Jazz fans were escorted out of the game after that racially slandered Westbrook. Following the incident, KVTV Sports reporter Steve MeGhee tweeted:

Following the incident, Oklahoma City
I don’t confront fans, fans confront me. Here in Utah, man, a lot of disrespectful, vulgar things are said to the players here with these fans. It’s truly disrespectful.

I’m tired of just going out and playing and letting fans say what the hell they want to say. I’m not with that. If I was on the street, they wouldn’t just come up to me and say anything crazy, because I don’t play that (expletive).
