Durant says fashionista Westbrook decides which uniform Thunder wear

The Oklahoma City Thunder have various uniform combinations at their disposal - some well-received, some not - and Kevin Durant says the decision of which jersey the team wears each night rests with point guard and noted fashion plate Russell Westbrook.

"Russ usually controls most of it," Durant told reporters after shootaround Saturday, hours before the Thunder opened the Western Conference semifinals against the San Antonio Spurs.

Putting the team's color co-ordination in the hands of Westbrook at least seems plausible. Like any fashion-forward individual, he often hits, but isn't afraid to miss wildly.

The superstar was evasive yet agreeable with Durant's revelation:

However, according to The Oklahoman's Anthony Slater, there is some truth to Westbrook controlling the choice of attire. He reportedly prefers the team's alternate white sleeved jerseys for home games, and navy blue alternates for road contests.
