Kevin Durant Wants to Know Why the Media Keeps Asking Who the Best Player on the Thunder is

"“Hey my man, I’ve got a question for you,” Durant said. “Why does everyone want to talk about who the best player is on our team, whether it’s me or Russell? Why does everyone worry about that?” Naturally, I was defensive and told Durant that’s not what I was talking about on television. “I know,” he said. “But you’re in the media so maybe you know why some writers and guys like that do it. I just don’t get it.” “I’m not sure,” I answered. “I mean, we’re on the same team, Russell and me, so what does it matter?” Durant said. “Who cares whether he’s better than me or I’m better than him?”"

Kevin Durant is the best, and he makes a very valid point (hey Ric Bucher, you listening?). Durant seems genuinely concerned about this situation, which, at some point, will threaten to splinter the Thunder (probably in the midst of a heated playoff series with the Clippers). Durant’s the best kind of superstar – he’s got the killer instinct of Jordan and the humility of Magic. [CSN Bay Area]
