Rajon Rondo’s Brother Was Asked to Leave Game 5 for Calling Russell Westbrook “Trash”

The Los Angeles Lakers sent the Houston Rockets packing on Saturday night with a blowout victory.  Game 5 wasn't without a little drama.

In the 4th quarter with the Lakers up by 23 points, Rajon Rondo’s brother William was asked to leave after an exchange with Russell Westbrook.

Rondo’s brother reportedly called Westbrook "trash" and as you might expect he wasn't a fan of the comment.

Lakers guard Rajon Rondo says his brother, William, called Russell Westbrook “trash” and nothing more and gave him the “Damian Lillard” wave when the Rockets star asked what he said. Rondo said his bother didn’t say anything more and he is hopeful there will be no discipline.

I have to agree with Rondo' brother on this one.  Westbrook's a great player, but if he's going to let comments bother him like he did on Saturday night then he is trash.
