Westbrook's Response to Durant's ‘selfless' Comments: ‘That's Cute'

Speaking at Stanford University on Monday night, Kevin Durant once again provided a detailed explanation as to why he signed with the Warriors.

“It felt like it was a perfect fit," Durant started. "It was something I was searching for when I sat down and talked to these guys. I wanted to see if what I’ve heard and what I’ve seen on the outside is really true. Do these guys really genuinely love each other? They work together. You hear family a lot. That’s just a word sometimes, but this is really a lifestyle here. You can feel it when you walk in the door, in the practice facility, everybody is just together.

"That’s something that I can appreciate as a basketball player and someone who values relationships. You can tell that that’s what they stand on, that’s what we stand on. I feel really grateful to play for a team like that and play with a bunch of players who are selfless and enjoy the game in its purest form.

"They make it about the players, they make it about the environment, so it was really an easy choice.”

On Thursday morning, those quotes were read to Russell Westbrook. His response:

"That's cute, man. That's cute. My job is to be able to worry about what's going on here. We're gonna worry about all the selfish guys we got over here apparently. So we gonna figure that out."

Westbrook was then asked: "Is it hard, Russ, not to take everything he says and feel like it's a shot at you guys?"

"I don't care," Westbrook answered. "To me, it doesn't matter. My job is to worry about here. Honestly, I'm really tired of talking about it. So anytime anybody asks me another question, I'm just not gonna answer. Just FYI. I'm not talking about it no more."
