Russell Westbrook has odd response to Kevin Durant question

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting divorced. Westbrook, along with Durant, has been one of the leaders on the Thunder for quite some time now.

At Thunder media day, Westbrook was asked if he was actually “still cool” with Durant and his response was shot and pointed. A lot of people try to tear you down when you make them uncomfortable or make a decision that makes them uncomfortable. ANY GIVEN WEDNESDAY WITH BILL SIMMONS is also available on HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand, as well as other affiliate portals. I feel like you were mad at me for like two years.

Just about the last person in America still steaming about OKC’s split with Harden was Bill Simmons, who wrote repeatedly over the years that Thunder GM Sam Presti had screwed up by dealing the guard. I’m gonna go out there and when we play, I’m gonna hoop the way I always hoop… He’s not gonna want to fight me.

So if I were to come out and tweet something or Instagram or, whatever, a video of me disagreeing with a writer, it’s career suicide. “Obviously nobody has an answer – if that’s the case, it would have been solved – but I think it’s important that we figure out what we can do to help improve what’s going on”. “I just got a different jersey on”. (Spoiler: He told Russ he loved him).

“In my field, it’s like, you know, when we step in between the lines, that’s when we compete”, Durant said. So I had to stand firm on it, no matter who agreed with me or not. I don’t take it for granted. I had to keep rolling with the punches.

“But I’m happy, man. Other than that the numbers will just be whatever you guys reckon they will be”. You set the tone. He has so much experience, man. You have a big piece of this. They will not only play for two of the strongest teams in the Western Conference, they are also heavily pitted as top contenders for the 2016-17 NBA MVP title.

In a recent interview with HBO, Durant said that he is not anxious about being hated by Westbrook and the Thunder fans for his controversial free agency move.

“When [people] called me weak, I think I’m the total opposite”. There are plenty of times I could have quit in this whole life. plenty of times where my neighborhood could have kept me down. “I’m definitely going to miss having him around”. It was all about what I do on the basketball court. They don’t care if I like going fishing on Tuesdays or like taking pictures on the street. And for them to say something like that, to me it’s wrong on their part.

For the first time in franchise history, all of the team’s six preseason games will be available to watch. But it’s also a hard point to argue if you’ve been paying any attention at all to the Thunder the past few seasons.
