The NBA All-Star 2017 will have its own share of drama as former teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are bound to share the same locker room for the first time since Durant left OKC to join the Warriors. West All-Start Coach Steve Kerr pitched in by saying Westbrook could be the plus one in a lineup that will feature four GSW players.
Speaking to ESPN, the Warriors and West 2017 NBA All-Star coach said that he may play Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant together during the All-Star game. He also pointed out that he intends to play all four Warriors All-Star at the same time at a certain point of the game.
As for who will be the plus one in the four Warriors All-Star lineup, Steve Kerr mentioned that he is considering Russell Westbrook to be the plus one. This will mean Westbrook will not only share the basketball court with Durant but will also play with the three other Warriors' All-Star in Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
Fox Sports has presented a number of different scenarios as to how the Warriors plus Westbrook All-Star lineup will play out. One of which is the four Dubs players will not let Westbrook hold the ball while they are all on the same court the same way Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas froze Michael Jordan during the 1985 NBA All-Star game.
Amidst the impending drama in the locker room and the basketball court in the upcoming 2017 NBA All-Star game, Westbrook is content in talking about fashion. According to Business Insider, the All-Star point guard kept on giving fashion week related answers when asked about the possibility of playing with his former OKC Thunders teammate.
The Russell Westbrook Kevin-Durant feud may be an ongoing storyline for the NBA for more years to come. However, with all the fun and games during the 2017 NBA All-Star weekend, fans may just see a Westbrook to Durant alley-oop once again.
