​Yesterday gave us one of the most riveting NBA games of the season. Not because of the actual basketball but because of the rivalry between KD and Russell Westbrook that seemingly grew right in front of our eyes.





Following the game, Kevin Durant's mom, Wanda, gave her thoughts about her son's feud with his ex-teammate.

Kevin Durant and his mom think the perceived beef with Russell Westbrook is 'too hyped' https://t.co/41hPsPbP3b pic.twitter.com/1SyI6XEMnL — Dime on UPROXX (@DimeUPROXX) November 23, 2017

" It’s OKC. It’s the same atmosphere that they’ve always had, so we wouldn’t expect anything different. I just think it’s too hyped. It’s just basketball. Not even as a fan and being here and watching both of them, I really don’t get it. But it is what it is," said Wanda following the game.





I'm really not sure KD's mom fully understand what she was seeing yesterday. Im pretty sure this:

​​Isn't a common occurrence at every OKC game, nor does it have anything to do with the atmosphere of the crowd.





At this point it is pretty clear that neither Durant or Westbrook are very fond of one another. It could just be a competitive spirit between the two but even competitive spirit doesn't usually result in that.





Regardless of Wanda's perception or the actual nature of the relationship between the two, one thing is for sure: the NBA just got it's most intriguing rivalry in the past 10 years.
