New Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant admitted Wednesday that his relationship with former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Russell Westbrook likely wont ever be the same again and that hell just have to get used to being the villain. Damon Severson Jersey .Durant told Chinas Sina Sports that he talked to Westbrook before signing a two-year deal earlier this month to join a loaded Warriors roster?that also boasts two-time reigning MVP Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.I just told him. I let him know how I felt, Durant said of his conversation with Westbrook. Obviously, our relationship wont ever be the same again. But its something I wanted to do, and I expressed that to him. Hopefully he respected it.He also told Sina Sports that hell get used to the backlash and the Warriors being labeled as villains.Yeah, its difficult. Im not used to this much attention, but Im getting used to it, Durant said. Obviously, people dont like me right now, but it is what it is. I cant please them all. Ive got to still go out there and handle my business.Theyre not going to get up at 9 oclock in the morning and work on their game for me. Ive got to do all of that on my own. I cant worry about people on the outside. Ive got to go to sleep at night, Ive got to get up and Ive got to perform. Ive got to do all that stuff. It is what it is. Once we start playing the games, Ill feel a little bit more better. Right now, its definitely a change. Theres a different vibe going around, but Ill get used to it.NBA commissioner Adam Silver on Tuesday said he didnt think Durants decision to join the Warriors and form a so-called super team was ideal from the league standpoint.But Durant said the goal -- a championship -- is what drove him to join the Warriors, and he doesnt think an excess of talent will be a problem in achieving that goal.I want to win a championship, but youve got to play great basketball to win a championship, Durant told Sina Sports. Those guys were so close last year, so theyre hungry this year to get back. I want to help them. I want to be the guy that takes them over the top.We dont have any selfish players on the team. Thats the thing: I think everybody expects us to play selfish, but guys want to go out there and win and just play the right way. Thats what theyve been doing. Its on me to come in there and adapt to what theyve been doing. Its going to take me some time, but Im going to get used to it pretty quick. Pavel Zacha Jersey .

Hopefully, teams dont take us lightly.

There was no fear of playing.Captain Connor McDavid, the 2015 No. 1 pick of the Edmonton Oilers, also had an assist and several nifty moves that confounded Finnish defenders.Much like Team Europe, a collection of players from eight European countries, North America made a great first impression after plenty of criticism about being a gimmick. North Americas blazing fast play in exhibition games made it the most intriguing part of the World Cup, and that fascination is only stronger now that it showed it can thrive when it counts.Just because were younger doesnt mean that were not as good or something like that, McDavid said.
