Russell Westbrook often approaches people in the crowd when he feels disrespected by them.
But on Sunday, during halftime of a playoff game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Phoenix Suns, he stepped to a guy away from the court who had something slick to say.
"Watch your mouth motherf**ker!"

"Watch your mouth," the Clippers' point guard said to the man. "Watch your mouth, motherf*cker."
The guy didn't seem intimidated, though, and he told Westbrook to take his criticism "like a man."
In the end, the Clippers beat the Suns 115-110 while Westbrook went a dismal 3-for-19 from the field.
But he did make a terrific clutch defensive play to secure the victory and had his typical haul of rebounds and assists.
Does Westbrook need to take a chill pill?
