Westbrook thinks he's better than Durant?
Russell Westbrook - G - Oklahoma City Thunder
May 22, 2011 - 6:55 PM ET

An anonymous Oklahoma City Thunder veteran was quoted as saying, "he thinks he's better than Kevin Durant".

The "he" in the above quote is a reference to starting point guard Russell Westbrook. The quote was reportedly in a private conversation after Westbrook's disputed benching, but regardless it's clear that Westbrook spending the entire fourth quarter of Game 2 on the sidelines didn't sit well with the young point guard, even if he's publicly stated differently. The blossoming 22-year old is a great talent, but by no means is he competing with the Durantula.
