Kevin Durant says he and Russell Westbrook “are cool” even though KD left his longtime former teammate when he decided to sign with the Golden State Warriors in July.
Durant was in Austin for a Nike event at the University of Texas on Friday and answered questions from the audience. One was about his relationship with Westbrook.
“We’re still cool. We’re going to compete against each other at the highest level. We’re gonna have fun against each other. We’re still cool,” said Durant.

The topic of the relationship between the two players has been one of great intrigue since Durant’s league-changing decision to join the Warriors. The two had been on the same side trying to win a championship since Westbrook joined the league in 2008, so seeing one of the league’s best tandems splitting apart was shocking.
There were initial reports of tension between the two men — especially after reports like this came out — but in the end, you can’t throw away all they accomplished together nor their longtime close friendship.
