“You gotta be able to protect the players, man,” Westbrook said, via ESPN. “The fans are obviously there to enjoy the game, but they can’t come onto the floor. That’s totally unacceptable.

“They’ll look at it and figure out what’s the best way to deal with it, but to me, that’s just totally unacceptable.”

Westbrook should have decked that disheveled slob.

The fan didn't approach Westbrook, Westbrook approached him.

Westbrook shoved him. That is considered battery. Don’t care the guy was excited his team won. You can’t put your hands on somebody. Sure the fan was over zealous. But, it’s sport. Westbrook has gotten excited before too. Don’t mean someone can shove him. Just sayin’.

Guy was allowed on court to begin with.... Hes open game

Wrong. It’s assault unless you feel threatened which he did. Under those circumstances you are allowed to defend yourself, thus shoving the offender from his space. Any court would agree.

One drunk psycho fan could ruin Westbrook's career quite easily

How many times has Westbrook taunted fans for no reason over the years in the extreme vein of a Marshall Henderson? Reap what you sow.

By going into the stands?? Really? I have never heard of him doing that. I have heard and seen more times than I can count of fans taunting Westbrook and other players, for no reason other than to be fans. But they stay in the stands, and let players stay on the court. Start crossing those lines for both sides, and you have problems...
