Russell Westbrook calls James Harden pairing 'scary' for rest of NBA

HOUSTON -- Russell Westbrook offered somewhat of a warning to the rest of the NBA regarding his reunion with new Houston Rockets teammate James Harden.

"It's going to be scary, that's all I can tell you," Westbrook said during Rockets media day Friday. "It's going to be scary -- not for us."

Seven years have passed since Westbrook and Harden last played together with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2012 NBA Finals. Harden and Westbrook, who have been friends since their childhoods in Los Angeles, have developed into perennial All-Star guards, and both have won an NBA MVP award.
