Westbrook Responds To Durant's 'Selfless' Comments

It's no secret there's not a lot of love between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, and the intriguing back-and-forth between the two continued on Thursday following the Thunder's morning shootaround.

Westbrook was asked about Durant's controversial comments about joining the Warriors earlier in the week, where Durant said:

I feel really grateful to play for a team like that and play with a bunch of players who are selfless and enjoy the game in its purest form. They make it about the players, they make it about the environment, so it was really an easy choice."

It appeared to be a direct shot at Thunder, and apparently that's how Westbrook took it as well. OKC's star point guard was somewhat candid in his answer when asked about Durant's comments.

"That's cute," Westbrook said. "My job is to worry about what's going on here. We're gonna worry about all the selfish guys we've got over here, apparently. We gonna figure that out."

That's Cuteeee Fellas!!! #ThunderUp

Westbrook went on to say he was tired of answering questions about Durant and said he'll no longer respond when he gets asked about him.
