Golden State Warriors big man Zaza Pachulia was once again at the center of controversy on February 24, 2018 Saturday night after he fell on Russell Westbrook’s leg during the Warriors’ blowout win over the Thunder. The Golden State Warriors dominated the game easily against the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-80 at Oracle Arena.

Westbrook drove to the basket and shot a contested floater over Nick Young, with Pachulia trailing the play. The ball hit the front of the rim, and Westbrook and Young jumped for the rebound. While battling for an rebound with Golden State Warriors’ Nick Young, Westbrook made contact with Young and fell to the floor. Pachulia, who was near the play but not particularly involved, crumpled to the floor after Westbrook was down and fell on the Thunder star’s legs.

After the game, Westbrook challenged ESPN reporters who asked if he felt the fall was intentional. He said the Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia was intentionally trying to hurt him when Pachulia landed on his leg late in the third quarter of the Warriors' 112-80 win Saturday night.

Paul George backed up Westbrook, saying that Pachulia aimed his fall. Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving later chimed in on Instagram, commenting that the NBA needs to address the incident. Pachulia's teammate Kevin Durant defended him, saying that he watched the replay and believed that Nick Young’s foot brought Pachulia to the ground.

Make sure you have your leg insurance, health insurance and life insurance before going against Zaza Pachulia himself!

● Both Russell and Zaza have a little history dating back to last season. During a January 2017 game against the Warriors, Westbrook used an Enes Kanter screen and attempted to turn the corner, but Pachulia stepped up and rammed his body into Westbrook, sending him to the floor. Pachulia then stood over Westbrook for a few seconds while staring him down. Pachulia received a flagrant 1 foul.

● In Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, Kawhi Leonard suffered a left-ankle injury after Pachulia slid under his foot on a jump shot. The injury kept Leonard out the remainder of the postseason, as the Warriors swept the series. The incident caused an angry Gregg Popovich to unleash his fury at Pachulia in a postgame interview.

● Reigning NBA MVP Russell Westbrook, one of the league's global superstars, inked a 10-year extension with Nike's Jordan Brand that will be the most lucrative total endorsement deal for a Jordan athlete to date. Westbrook has partnered up with major brands such as Nike/Air Jordan, Mountain Dew, True Religion clothing company, Six Star Pro Nutrition, Samsung, Barneys New York, and Westbrook Frames.

Last year, Westbrook averaged 31.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 10.4 assists per game to become the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double for a season. After a season’s worth of record-breaking, jaw-dropping historical performances, Russell Westbrook laid claim to the 2017 NBA Most Valuable Player of the Year award. He appeared at Basketball City in New York to accept the Bill Russell MVP Trophy on Monday, edging out two worthy finalists in James Harden and Kawhi Leonard.

His foundation, Russell Westbrook’s Why Not? Foundation was founded back in 2012 to inspire the lives of children, empower them to ask “Why Not?” and teach them to never give up. Last month, Westbrook teamed with the United Way of Greater Los Angeles to give out a brand new 2017 Kia Sorento SXL equipped with car’s registration and auto car insurance for the next year to a family.
