No Regard Video Exclusive: Russell Westbrook Gets The Gold Treatment

NRVE (No Regard Video Exclusives) are our videos. We shoot them, we cut them, we post them. You watch them. It's that simple. Check back for more on-the-spot video updates from major basketball events and original content that hopefully makes you laugh as much as Steve Nash's YouTube channel.

Before you watch this video, you're going to need SOME context. Russell Westbrook had just finished playing for the White Team at last night's World Basketball Festival. Unfortunately, Westbrook's team lost, but you wouldn't know it if you compared Rondo's post-game treatment to Westbrook's. Though the Celtic's PG was denied a seat at the Jay-Z show, our man Russell was given center stage tickets and TWO bags of Cheetos upon losing. We know that this video is just a really long clip of one of our favorite OKC boys eating chips, but pay attention to the way he signs every autograph and high-fives a dude even though he's got cheesy-fingers! What a man.



Want to know what Rondo thought about all this? Keep reading...


I had the pleasure of standing next to Rondo during the Jay-Z Seating Debacle of 2010, and witnessed as a gaggle of young kids, probably the very tots that Lebron was watching, came over and asked for an autograph. Rondo told the kids the very same thing that the Radio City staff told him when he asked for a seat in the crowd: "No." My guess, Rondo had just been eating Cheetos and didn't want to get the youngins covered in cheese dust. Or maybe he was just upset that he had worse seats than Team Brazil. Regardless, I probably should've forwarded those kids over to Russell Westbrook, the man who's capable of eating Cheetos and being a role-model at the same time. You hear that Chester? Russell's comin' for you. And he's starving.
