Russell Westbrook has decided to troll former teammate Kevin Durant by wearing an official photographer penny before their game on Thursday night at Oracle.

After leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors in 2016 NBA free agency, Kevin Durant has become public enemy number one for Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook. Westbrook is still livid that his former teammate Durant left for the Warriors this offseason.

The reason many assume Durant left Oklahoma City for Golden State was that he was growing tired of Westbrook’s on-court demeanor. Durant is enjoying his time in the Bay Area, pursuing other interests like getting 2Pac calf tattoos, getting into mosh pits at Kanye West concerts, and even photography.


Westbrook is the terminator that is out to destroy his former Thunder teammate. Here is Westbrook wearing an ‘official photographer’ penny over his all white clothing as he walked into Oracle Arena in Oakland on Thursday night.

Westbrook is being very explicit about his plans to stick it to Durant on the court Thursday night. This will be the first game these two former teammates will be going against each other since Westbrook was drafted by the Thunder in 2008.

Through the first part of the season, Westbrook has averaged a triple-double as the Thunder’s lone star. He has the tenacity to achieve this feat that hasn’t happened in the NBA in over 50 years. The last time an NBA player averaged a triple-double in a season was back in 1963-64 when Oscar Robertson did it for the then Cincinnati Royals.

Westbrook is mad and he doesn’t care what anybody thinks. He is out for blood against Durant on Thursday night. Thursday night between the Thunder and Warriors is the first must-see game of the young 2016-17 NBA season.
