"Was there tension? Sure, at times.

Is there a feud? Far from it.

That's how Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, as well as those closest to the Oklahoma City Thunder's All-Star duo, described their relationship, past and present, at the team's media day Tuesday.

"People got to understand that guys are not going to agree on every single thing that goes on in a long season," said Durant. "Guys are going to have heated arguments. But at the same time, we understand each other. We just want the best for each other. I got his back 100 percent. He's got my back 100 percent on that floor."

And off it?

"Me and Kevin are very close," said Westbrook."
