NBA playoffs: Did Kevin Durant reignite his Russell Westbook feud?
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbook played together for eight seasons at Oklahoma City
Durant’s relationship with Westbrook spent years under the microscope while both shared the spotlight in OKC and many suspected his frustration at playing alongside Russ for so long was one of his main motivations for leaving the club in the summer of 2016.
The pair have repeatedly denied there was ever a problem between them during their eight seasons together and played down any suggestions of ill-will at Durant’s decision to leave.
In all but words however, the breakdown in Westbrook’s relationship with Durant has been made glaringly obvious over the past 18 months.
And the plot thickened this week as Durant was caught out by his Instagram followers liking a comment appearing to blame Westbrook for the Thunder’s failure to secure a title during their time together.
