VIDEO: Don't ask Russell Westbrook if he's a Spurs fan

Mark D. Smith-USA TODAY Sports

The Oklahoma City Thunder will need some help Wednesday night if they hope to make the playoffs in the ultra-competitive Western Conference.

Not only do the Thunder have to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves - they need the San Antonio Spurs to beat the New Orleans Pelicans as well.

It would be understandable if the Thunder players were to root for the Spurs on this night, but Russell Westbrook is not on board with that.

"Would you call yourself a Spurs fan? Maybe for tonight?" a reporter asked.

"I ain't gotta root for nobody," Westbrook answered. "I ain't no Spurs fan. What type of question is that? You see my hat?"
