Russell Westbrook, during All-Star media availability in New Orleans, did not have any intention of discussing playing alongside Kevin Durant again. When asked about playing with Durant again, Westbrook didn’t acknowledge the topic, instead discussing Fashion Week:

Another reporter tried asking about Durant, but Westbrook again stuck to fashion:

Next, Westbrook actually answered a question by heavily implying that he and the Thunder are fully over Durant leaving, and it’s the media who need to move on:

When asked about playing with all the Warriors players, Westbrook answered the question with a question… about fashion:

Next, a reporter changed the topic by asking Westbrook about the rumors about him teaming up with Anthony Davis with the Lakers someday. Westbrook decided he’d rather continue talking about fashion:

Westbrook ended his media session by giving his thoughts on the city of New Orleans and saying that he’d see all the media members at fashion week (he probably won’t. They’re basketball reporters, not fashion reporters):
