In his longest and most significant public comments since choosing to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder and join the Golden State Warriors in free agency, Kevin Durant refuted reports that his decision to depart had anything to do with Russell Westbrook's style of play or the chance that the All-Star point guard might decide to skip town when he hits the unrestricted market next summer. Durant had appeared briefly in the Bay Area at an introductory press conference a couple of weeks back, and had spoken to Chinese media during a trip through Asia last week.
