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. 

Hey Sixers fan in the front row,

Please do not piss off Russell Westbrook. He will explode.

Sincerely,
The human race

"And a Sixers fan welcomes Westbrook to Philadelphia." - actual quote by commentator as this happened. 😂

But look out...Russ is angry now. pic.twitter.com/PpvdYXmZ4K

The man with the middle fingers just got escorted out, it appears.

After Russ brought the fan's gesture to literally everyone's attention, it appears that he was sent home. 

Security apparently ejecting courtside #Sixers fan who gave Westbrook the double bird.

Hope that guy enjoyed that one quarter watching the Sixers/Thunder game courtside. He probably won't be there ever again.
