Kevin Durant says Steph Curry is a better player than Russell Westbrook

Ask Kevin Durant a question and he'll give you an honest and direct answer. That's exactly what transpired on teammate Serge Ibaka's YouTube show when the Nets star was asked to pick the better player between Russell Westbrook and Steph Curry. 

Durant's reponse was short and to the point; citing Curry's superior knockdown shooting ability to Westbrook's less than stellar stroke from 3-point range. 

Having played with both players, Durant would have the inside track on which teammate was more impactful and vibed better with him. Clearly, Durant didn't have the smoothest exit from Golden State, but it wasn't nearly as bad as his fallout with Westbrook in Oklahoma City. 

It's interesting to see Westbrook and James Harden reunite as teammates, this time in Houston, as the duo aims to contend with LeBron James-Anthony Davis pairing with the Lakers and Kawhi Leonard-Paul George combination with the Clippers. 

The pecking order in the West has been completely reshuffled and with the Kevin Durant's Nets, he could shift the Eastern conference upon his return from an Achilles injury. While Durant and Westbrook have reportedly buried the hachet, the current Rockets guard can't be thrilled with the idea that he is being snubbed by a former teammate.
