Russell Westbrook Laughs When Asked About Kevin Durant

Russell Westbrook is one of the fiercest competitors in NBA history, and his bulldog-like mentality on the basketball court separates him from nearly every player in the league that attempts to get in his way.

Therefore, when Kevin Durant left what he built in OKC to join the Golden State Warriors, many assumed Westbrook wouldn't be too fond of Durant's move to join the team that most recently knocked the Thunder out of the playoffs. By the look of this video posted on Aijalon O SoGmfe's timeline, Westbrook can't even take the mention of Durant seriously.

Clearly Westbrook looks to be in a relaxed setting and was candid in his response, but it'll be interesting to see what he says when he fields Durant questions once the season starts. Knowing Westbrook's on court personality, he'll likely use his former Thunder Buddy's departure as fuel to his competitive fire.
