OAKLAND, CA – MAY 16: Kevin Durant #35 (R) of the Oklahoma City Thunder celebrates with Russell Westbrook #0 during the final moments of game one of the NBA Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors at ORACLE Arena on May 16, 2016 in Oakland, California. The Thunder defeated the Warriors 108-102.

Kevin Durant claims he and Russell Westbrook are cool, and this has been the accepted line from Durant from the moment he left Oklahoma City for the Golden State Warriors and all the way through the summer. Apparently, Westbrook hadn’t heard that.

While Westbrook has yet to say a personal feud is brimming between himself and his former Thunder teammate, comments like this are only adding fuel to the fire, especially since they’re coming from one direction.

Is anyone else getting really excited for the Thunder-Warriors games already, or is it just me? Expect this to be a story that doesn’t go away for a long time.
