Russell Westbrook

When Kevin Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors, many thought it was only a matter of time before Russell Westbrook was traded. And whether or not Westbrook was traded, many also thought he would up and sign with a big-market squad in 2017. A big-market squad like the New York Knicks. This thought process, [...]

Michael Jordan is savage. Or just speaking a truth that has nothing to do with Kevin Durant, or the Golden State Warriors, or thinly veiled potshots. We’ll let you decide. His Airness spoke at Russell Westbrook’s induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, an honor that was bestowed upon Durant just last year. During his [...]

Russell Westbrook is putting up some ridiculous numbers so far this season. With Kevin Durant’s departure, we saw this coming. Even so, 32.0, 9.7 and 9.9 are hard to fathom. He has to do it all for his team, and when he’s out of the game, the team is borderline unwatchable. The team is 7-5 [...]

Independence Day 2016 will always live in infamy for the NBA and especially the Oklahoma City Thunder. That’s the day their leader, hero and face of their franchise exercised his independence as a free agent to join the rival Golden State Warriors, leaving his partner in crime Russell Westbrook and the organization he had called [...]

No matter what might be said, or written, or assumed, Kevin Durant has a soft spot for Russell Westbrook. The new Golden State Warriors forward sat down with the Bay Area News Group’s Anthony Slater to discuss the state of his relationship with his former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate.

The moment that Kevin Durant decided to sign with the Golden State Warriors (and sell his soul to the devil, just kidding, maybe…) was the moment that everyone not only wondered just how dangerous and frightening the Warriors would, but also that “Russell Westbrook was about to put up mind-numbing numbers this season.” Westbrook is [...]

This Kevin Durant versus Russell Westbrook thing isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. And we’re happy about that because we’re here for all of it. The verbal shots that have been traded between the two since Durant left OKC for Golden State seem to largely be initiated by Durant. In thos situations, Russell returns serve. Although, [...]

Last year, Billy Donovan replaced Scott Brooks as head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, inheriting a roster of three stars, in Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and Russell Westbrook—a trio fit to headline a championship favorite. Now, one year later, just one of those players remains: Westbrook. And you ought to believe Donovan still appreciates [...]

Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder are forever. Or at least through next season. Anyone who thought that the Thunder might consider trading Westbrook after renegotiating his contract is apparently in for a rude awakening. Though Westbrook will be a more attractive trade chip in February, because he’ll have delayed his foray into free [...]

Now I love Kevin Durant as much as the next person, but KD’s choice to sign with the defending Western Conference Champion Golden State Warriors and leave OKC got me wondering. When I open my internet browser, turn on the T.V., or listen to the radio, all I hear are journalists like Stephen A. Smith [...]
