Russell Westbrook: Stephen Curry ‘nothing I haven’t seen’

Russell Westbrook said MVP Stephen Curry is “nothing [he hasn’t]” seen.

Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook seems ready for his matchup with Warriors point guard and back-to-back MVP Stephen Curry.

Speaking the afternoon before Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Westbrook commented on what it was like to guard Curry.
