Durant on Mark Cuban: 'He's an idiot'
Mark D. Smith / USA TODAY Sports
It didn't take long for media to ask Russell Westbrook his thoughts of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's assessment of his NBA stature Monday.
Soon after the Oklahoma City Thunder eliminated the Mavs, Kevin Durant jumped to the defense of his superstar teammate.
"He's an idiot," Durant said of Cuban. "He's an idiot. All right. That's what we've got to say about that. He's an idiot. Next question."
Westbrook didn't appear to disagree.
Cuban made a point prior to Game 5 to say the Thunder only had one superstar in Durant.
"He's an All-Star but not a superstar," Cuban said of Westbrook.
The point guard scored a game-high 36, while also adding 12 rebounds and nine assists during the Thunder's Game 5 win.
