He then exchanged a few words with the fan before security stepped in.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Westbrook had a few more words to say when asked about the confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>\"I didn't confront fans; fans confronted me,\" Said Westbrook, who also had an exchange with a fan at halftime. \"Here in Utah, man, a lot of disrespectful, vulgar things are said to the players here with these fans. It's truly disrespectful. Talk about your families, your kids. It's truly disrespectful to the game, man.&nbsp;I think it's something that needs to be brought up. I'm tired of just going out and playing, then the fans saying whatever the hell they want to say. I'm not with that. If I was on the street, they wouldn't just come up to me and say anything crazy, because I don't play that shit. So, to disrespect me and do whatever they want to do needs to be put to a stop, especially here in Utah.\"<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/udzFfwKZ3GM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Westbrook has had a couple of incidents with fans in the past.
