Russell Westbrook has treated his NBA audience to a number of eclectic outfits over the years — enough that in 2013 a Vogue entertainment editor dubbed the Oklahoma City Thunder guard "the Kate Moss of the NBA."

Despite his keen fashion sense, Westbrook has had to deal with the absurd rumor that he owns 700 pairs of shoes to go along with all those outfits. Westbrook, interviewed on "In Depth with Graham Bensinger," quickly confirmed that those whispers are preposterous. In reality, Westbrook said, he has many more than 700:

Bensinger: “Your brother was telling me the other day, he was like, ‘Even though it’s reported he has 700 pairs of shoes, it’s actually more like a thousand pairs.’”

Westbrook: “Probably. Yeah, for sure. I have shoes all over the place. I have some at his house, my house, my closet, in storage.”

Westbrook touched on a number of other subjects, including his brotherly relationship with Kevin Durant, his dicey relationship with the media and the death of his childhood best friend, Khelcey Barrs, in the full interview that airs this weekend. Watch an extended preview below.
