Russell Westbrook hasn’t said much of anything about Kevin Durant since KD decided to sign with the Warriors.
KD on the other hand can’t seem to let it go and is still talking about Russell Westbrook. It sounds like a cry for help or that he wants Westbrook to co-sign his move to the Warriors, but that isn’t going to happen, so he should really just move on.
Here are some of the snippets from an excellent interview by Anthony Slater of the Mercury News.
I was in the phase of finding out who I was outside of basketball. He already knew who he was. He already had a stable life. He had stable parents, a girlfriend through college. I didn’t have none of that stuff.
He got married, I didn’t. He hung with his wife. What you want me to do? I love Russ. I don’t care what nobody say. I don’t care what he say or what the fans say. Like, this is a tough time right now in our relationship. But I love Russ. I love his family. They all know that. I never did anything morally wrong.
When asked why he just sent Westbrook a text about leaving instead of calling he had this to say.
I’m not saying I did it the right way. I’m owning up to that.
But like I said, I don’t care what y’all say, fans in OKC, media, whoever. We’re going through a tough time right now in our relationship. But we’re brothers at the end of the day.
You don’t understand our relationship.’ So I can’t comment on it. You only see (Russ and I), everybody only see us, on this court at 7 o’clock. So how can you comment anything we have going on relationship wise?
We valued each other. I went out of my way during games, ‘Throw it down there to Russ, get a basket!’ He went out of his way to toss it back to me for dunks. We valued each other.
“This basketball (bleep) is fake, man. It’s not real life. I love it. I go to work every day. I work hard every day. But when you’re talking about off the court stuff, that (bleep) is not real. What would I look like being mad at somebody for 20 years?
You know who Kevin Durant sounds like?
Westbrook is his Karrueche (or Rihanna, depending on your perspective).
In my best Chris Jericho voice…….
“LET IT GO MAN…….”
