Future Hall of Fame point guard Russell Westbrook is fond of passing the game to the next generation, and he’s funded a number of AAU and youth teams in Southern California across the last decade-plus. Westbrook’s charitable efforts came back to bite him Wednesday night.

It takes a lot to get Ime Udoka to break character in the middle of a Rockets game. The intense coach usually is so locked in, no opposing player can say anything that will get much of a positive reaction out of him,

Russell Westbrook and Jalen Green shared a hilarious exchange during the Houston Rockets' rout of the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night.

He used to play on my AAU team,” Russell Westbrook said jokingly after an exchange with Jalen Green. “Talking to me like I’m a little ass kid.”

Russell Westbrook hilariously reacts to Jalen Green's trash-talk, leaving the Houston Rockets bench in stitches during a viral moment.

Last night’s matchup between the Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets offered yet another glimpse of this intensity, as Westbrook playfully confronted Jalen Green’s trash talk. After the two exchanged laughs, Westbrook delivered a sharp, lighthearted jab directed at Green and the Rockets coaching staff:

Kids just don't respect their elders anymore. At least that's what Westbrook thought after being trash-talked by the Rockets guard in Houston's rout of the Nuggets.

Jalen Green was excellent and started feeling himself during the game, apparently trash-talking Nuggets' guard Russell Westbrook. The veteran Westbrook was confused after the trash-talk, going over to the Rockets bench and telling them about how Green played for his AAU team and is now trash-talking him.
