Forget the MVP trophy—Russell Westbrook deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping his cool after a Philadelphia 76ers fan flipped the Oklahoma City Thunder star guard off with both of his tiny middle fingers during tonight's game. Look, we get it, Sixers fans. The team came out strong in the first quarter and got the Wells Fargo Center crowd into it, but that doesn't mean you can go poke the bear known as Westbrook. And Twitter would agree with that sentiment.
After Russ brought the fan's gesture to literally everyone's attention, it appears that he was sent home.
