One of the interesting side stories to Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors is how Russell Westbrook is reacting.
KD and Russ were teammates ever since Westbrook was drafted in 2008 by the Thunder (then Sonics) franchise a year after they picked Durant. The two reached a Finals together, consistently went deep in the playoffs together, and they formed one of the league’s best duos. And now they’re going to be separated for the first time ever.
Here are the best tweets about how Russ is reacting to the news:
