Whatever animosity there is between Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook — and I don’t think it’s as much as some people want to drum it up to be — is more from the Westbrook side. He had the right to feel jilted, even if it was just business.
Monday night Westbrook won the NBA MVP award, and deservedly so after his historic season. Tuesday, Durant was congratulating the winners in the community section of his YouTube page, and that included Westbrook.
“Huge congrats to Russell Westbrook on MVP, that boy went out there and was a created player on 2k all year, F----- balled out. Gotta respect it!”
KD also had some love for his other former teammate, James Harden, who came in second in the MVP voting.
“Shoutout my boy James Harden. For 5 years now he’s taken his game to the next level, he will be an MVP one day, he’s an MVP now, he’s made so many people proud. I know this first hand, recognize what he has done for the game!”
Durant had love for everyone. Which is how he’s feeling after his bold move last summer paid off with a ring.
