Russell Westbrook defender
This tweet came from someone who recalls that the Jazz fans are often disrespectful. They don't think Utah deserves an NBA franchise.
These are the same fans who mocked Derek Fishers daughter who was diagnosed with a rare type of eye cancer. Jazz need to be relocated to another city, Utah doesn’t deserve an NBA franchise and their fans are proof of it. Westbrook wouldn’t lie about shit like this.
