The well-known US media NBA Central released a clip of Westbrook's 2021 documentary "Passion Play: Russell Westbrook", in which Westbrook talked about his mental state after losing to the Warriors in the 2016 Western Conference Finals and learned that Durant's transfer to the Warriors.
Speaking of the mental state after losing to the Warriors, Westbrook said, "I was very angry, very angry, and I felt we let that opportunity slip away. I thought to myself, if we could keep the core lineup, we could do it again. My relationship with Durant is very special, because Durant has been very powerful from the beginning, and I was not so strong at the beginning. Durant has been getting better all the time, and my evolution has come very quickly. Our strength has never been equal, but our influence on the game is close in the later stages."
Speaking of the mental state after learning that Durant's transfer to the Warriors, Westbrook said, "I laughed immediately after seeing the news. I thought it was impossible for him to go to that team. They just defeated us."
