Kevin Durant recently elaborated on his decision to join the Warriors in free agency, and as has been the case since the moment he left, the media in Oklahoma City took his words to Russell Westbrook to see if there was a response.

Westbrook's remarks have been relatively tame where Durant is concerned, at least until now. But after Erik Horne of The Oklahoman read a direct quote from Durant about how the Warriors have "a bunch of players who are selfless and enjoy the game in its purest form," Westbrook decided it was time to fire back.

"That's cute, man. That's cute," Westbrook said. "But my job is to be able to worry about what's going on here. Worry about all the selfish guys we got over here, apparently. So we're going to figure that out."

The Thunder first face Durant and the Warriors at Oracle Arena on Thursday, Nov. 3, in Oklahoma City's fifth game of the regular season.
