    Default Westbrook refused my pic request

    Funny story.. Was doing some shopping at clothing department store in Toronto today when I notice someone that looked remarkably like RW. He was with 4 other dudes and no one in the store knew it was him besides me.

    I waited by the doors and before he left I asked

    "Can I trouble you for a pic Russell?" to which he responded..
    "Can't right now man, sorry"

    Am I right to be upset about this? I could understand if he refused it if there was risk of him attracting attention but he was about to leave and no one but me seemed to recognize him.. Dang, the dude could have made my whole fricken year by taking a simple pic with me.. FYI I am 19 years old

    Sounds like he was at least polite. Sorry he turned you down though, dude.

    Would you want to take pictures with every 19 year old that comes up to you?

    If anything you should just say you're a fan, then leave him alone.

    Damn homie, that does suck. Then again, maybe he was busy. What place in Toronto were you at ? It's Saturday, so I know it would probably be busy if it's downtown.

    Right on. I cannot imagine how many picture requests every single year. He cannot possibly affirm every request. Good to know he declined politely.

    It's nice when these guys accede to random requests but unless it's some scheduled event where they're supposed to take pictures and sign stuff he's not obligated. A guy like him has a lot of people, businesses and causes that want his time and attention, can't expect him to take time out of his day for every fan that wants a minute.

    Bet he would have taken it if you were an attractive girl.

    Or a better looking man.

    Westbrook literally apologized to him. "Can't right now man, sorry." Woulda loved to see MJ tell him to f*ck off and "fix your shit you pimple-faced b*tch."
