Russell Westbrook insisted there is no animosity between himself and former teammate Kevin Durant as the former MVPs prepare to face one another in the NBA playoffs.
Durant and Westbrook starred together on the Oklahoma City Thunder for eight seasons between 2008 and 2016, after the duo were drafted in successive seasons by the Western Conference franchise. They led the Thunder to the NBA Finals in 2012 only to fall to LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
However, Durant unceremoniously turned his back on the Thunder and signed with the juggernaut Golden State Warriors ahead of the 2016/17 season. His decision was heavily criticised from all angles while a wedge was seemingly planted between the two former teammates.
