A meme-worthy looking Westbrook hilariously denied giving the Cavs guard a shout out: \"What? Fuck do I look like man. For real\"<\/p>\n<p>Westbrook, who didn't know about the Thunder tweeting out the video in question, then said, \"I would never say no other man's name like that\" and explained he was shouting out the daughter of the trainer in the video, named Jamie.<\/p>\n<p>Kyrie.
