Kevin Durant no intention to shake Westbrook’s hands
NBA News – Even though Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder to sign with the Golden State Warriors, he remains a fan of Russell Westbrook.
Durant was recently seen watching Westbrook play in the Warriors’ locker room after a road win at the Pelicans.
“The thing is, I’m not a hater,” Durant told ESPN on Wednesday. “Russ is a great basketball player. I love watching him play. I’m a fan of his game. I don’t wish bad things on people. That’s not what I’m about. I’ve always supported him and will continue to support him.”
Durant is looking forward to his first game against Westbrook.
“Of course I’m looking forward to the game. We’re competitors,” Durant said.
Durant and Westbrook aren’t expected to have an interaction before tip-off.
“I don’t shake hands. That’s something I’ve never done before a game,” Durant said. “I just take the court to play. After the game, that’s different.”
