When Westbrook was drafted and in his first year all I read about was how Westbrook was such a quality person.  That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.  Either he changed or his true colors have come out.

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
Please. This type of stuff happens all the time. Hyper-competitive pampered athletes who continually have people around them shoving gatorade, towels, etc in their face during games.

Just happened to be caught on tape. You think KG's never sworn at a towel boy to get away from him? You think Pierce has never swatted a paper cup out of someone's hand when they offered him some gatorade?

Athletes get frustrated, they play a high-stakes game, and its part of the way things work that once and a while (or more often than not for these Celtics) you're gonna lose and get frustrated. Happens all the time.

Not saying it wasn't classless, just not unique.

I hate seeing classless behavior justified.

I don't care who does it. KG, Pierce, Rondo, The Pope, your Momma, your Preacher....whoever.

You got to give them some leeway in the heat of battle.  Still bullying kids and women is for losers...

You know who has way less class than Westbrook?

That illiterate moron narrating this video.  It's sad.

I was more offended by the narrator than what Westbrook did.

What did he do that was so wrong?

Not high 5 a Cavaliers fan?

It's not like bumping a ballboy out of the way or forcing players to pick up your clothes off the floor instead of handing it to you.

Oh and Big Baby was out of his mind after hitting the game winning shot in the playoffs. He didn't even see that kid.

Yeah OK, no matter Cavs fan or not, you have to understand that this is not me and you, it's just a kid, it's not classy "FACT" you can say what you want, but that's "The Truth"

Yeah okay, the fact of the matter is the other guys physically did something to people they deemed lesser. Pierce didn't do anything. Should he have high fived a kid wearing a Cavaliers jersey? I don't know. It would have been classy if he did. But the fact of the matter is he did nothing to that kid. That's not the case in the other situations. If you're not going to get upset over what Westbrook did, then no way you can get upset by what Pierce did.
