God bless Steve Kerr for giving us exactly what we wanted.

Midway through the first quarter, Russell Westbrook (and Draymond Green!) headed to the scorer's table to check into the 2017 NBA All-Star Game, and Kerr left Kevin Durant and James Harden on the floor for an Oklahoma City Thunder reunion.

A few plays later, Westbrook dished to Durant, who dished it right back for an All-Star alley-oop:

Durant and Westbrook exchanged a quick dap on their way back down the floor as the Western Conference bench erupted in cheers and laughter.

Shortly thereafter, Durant went to the bench following a timeout. Westbrook soon joined him, and the two celebrated once again. All told, they were only on the court together for 81 seconds in the first quarter, but every moment was magical.
