Russell Westbrook is celebrating the 4th of July just fine without Kevin Durant

Bestbrook.

Earlier on Monday, Kevin Durant decided to leave Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder and join Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. It was shocking to almost everyone as some thought he would never leave OKC. He also left behind one of the most beloved and hardest working players in the NBA, Westbrook. But the reason why people love Russ so much? He doesn't seem to let things bother him. And Monday he did just that. He celebrated the 4th of July just like every American should because Kevin Durant isn't going to ruin his day.

A couple of hours after Durant announced his future, Russ revealed these fantastic 4th of July cupcakes.

HAPPY 4th YALL....

Russ with his wife, his puppy and friends. He looks just fine to me.

Also ... love the shorts, Russ.

Bae!

His first snapchat after Durant's announcement could also be interpreted a million different ways. I'm going to interpret it as he sees no reason not to keep celebrating America on this fine day.

As far as I’m concerned Russ has already forgotten Kevin Durant and will never think about Kevin Durant ever again. The only time Kevin Durant will cross his mind is when he’s throwing down a signature Russ breakaway monster dunk all over the Warriors. Long live Russy.
