Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook mend fences The best quotes from NBA All-Star Media Day, LOS ANGELES — Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant couldn't avoid the questions about their relationship. And they didn't try to. "I feel like I just made it a thing when it shouldn't have been," Durant said during All-Star Media Day on Saturday when asked where he and his former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate stand. "It's cool to kind of get past that and appreciate these guys for who they are, what they do. It's all love at the end of the day." Westbrook — whose media availability at the Los Angeles Convention Center took place at the same time as Durant's, just four interview pods down — expressed similar sentiments.
