Russell Westbrook made his return to OKC on Thursday night for the first time after getting traded to the Rockets and two of his former teammates are going at it on Twitter.
Before Westbrook made his return Kendrick Perkins went on TV and said that Westbrook, not Kevin Durant is the best player to play in OKC.
In about 30 minutes I’m going to give my opinion on @SportsCenter on why Believe that Russell Westbrook is the best player to have ever put on a Oklahoma City Thunder Jersey!!! He is MR. THUNDER!!!

Hey Kevin left the door open and Russ walked right in

KD lost in the second round without Russ when I was there. So what that mean?

Perk’s hot take caught Durant’s attention and roasted his former teammate for not scoring many points while he was at OKC.
Yea and our starting center @KendrickPerkins averaged a whopping 2 and 3 during that series. U played hard tho champ lol

This led to Perkins reminding Durant that he made “weakest move in NBA history” by joining the 73-9 Warriors.
Boy stop you did the weakest move in NBA History!!! Up on a team 3-1 in the western conference finals and then go join them the following season?! Heart of Champion right there

Update: KD has fired back.
Weak is starting at center, playing real minutes with no production. Should’ve worked on your skills as much as I did

That’s fine!!! You worked that hard and still had to go join a 73-9 team. Truth be told you don’t even feel like a real Champ, you have hard time sleeping at night huh knowing that you took the coward way out!!!
