During Wednesday’s 125-116 Kings win over the Lakers, the home team trolled every time Russell Westbrook missed a shot by playing "Cold As Ice" by Foreigner. We’ll admit this isn’t the team that should be doing this, but we’ll take it.

Westbrook went 2-14 from the field and he’s eight for his last FORTY. Good for 20 percent, which may be less effective than the vaccine. It’s at least close, right?

Of course, he heard the song playing and he’s not fooling a soul pretending he never noticed the arena booming every time he missed. Westbrook utilized his shower time to think of a reply, and mentioning the Kings sucking the last 14 years was accurate and kinda funny.

The Lakers are reportedly shopping the 33-year-old guard and, according to multiple sources, no one was interested. A point guard with a turnover habit that can’t shoot and makes $44 million a year — what’s not to like?
