Russell Westbrook denied that he dressed as a cameraman to troll Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant.

The wait has finally come to an end. The Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder will do battle with each other on Thursday night. Everyone is going to be paying attention to the battle between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant on the floor.

The mind games started early before the game, when Westbrook showed up to the arena dressed as a cameraman. Of course, this was quite the dig at Durant’s love of photography as a hobby. He was interviewed by reporters about the outfit before the game.

Westbrook denied that he was trolling Durant and said that he got the idea for the outfit overseas. He believes that the outfit could be a good idea for a future fashion line and that he wanted to wear the outfit just because and not for anyone else.

While everyone will be quick to go at his claims, that’s a hilarious response. He knew the questions were be going to coming his away about his outfit and he had a great canned response. It’s just a reminder of how good this rivalry is going to be between the two former teammates.
