OKC Thunder: Russell Westbrook wants no part of your MVP talk

In recent weeks, after a legendary string of games with his superstar teammate sidelined, Russell Westbrook’s name has been thrust into the MVP conversation.

With 15 games left, he remains a legit candidate, up against James Harden, Steph Curry and LeBron James.

But when asked about one of the more competitive MVP races in recent memory, Westbrook didn’t seem too fired up to discuss it.

“I have no take on it,” Westbrook said before OKC’s Monday night game in Dallas. “My job is to come out and play at a high level every single night and that’s what I’ve been doing.”
