Russell Westbrook Low Key as All-Star Campaigning Heats Up

Filed under: , ,



DENVER -- Russell Westbrook doesn't want any buttons or bumper stickers distributed in an effort to get him in the NBA All-Star Game.

Then again, he might not be able to stop Kevin Durant from campaigning for him.

"If they don't put him in (the All-Star Game), it's the ultimate snub,'' Durant, the Oklahoma City forward who is almost certain to be a starter in the Feb. 20 game, said Tuesday about his teammate after the Thunder practiced at the Pepsi Center in preparation for Wednesday's game against Denver.

You won't get those type of comments out of Westbrook, though. He did some serious downplaying about possibly making his first All-Star appearance in Los Angeles, his hometown.

"Honestly, I don't really care,'' said the point guard. "To tell you the truth, it's not a big deal. You get voted in, you get voted in.''

Yeah, right. That's the word from Durant, who doesn't buy what Westbrook says.
