Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant listed his top five best players he ever played with and omitted former teammate Russell Westbrook.
This was a shocker considering how Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook played together in what was then a very competitive and fierce Oklahoma City Thunder team. But it turns out, Westbrook did not make the cut at least at first.

In fairness to Durant, he has played with several talented superstars. He mentioned teammates Kyrie Irving and James Harden as the top two players he’s played with followed by Golden State Warriors splash brothers Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and then Los Angeles Clippers big man Serge Ibaka, who Kevin Durant played with for the Thunder.
Durant probably had a hard time naming the last player. Based on the video, it was telling how long he paused before he mentioned the fifth best player he played with. The host of the podcast, which Kevin Durant was a guest on, asked KD why he didn't include Westbrook. As it turns out, the Brodie didn't register in Durant's mind at first.
Then, Kevin Durant clarified that Westbrook is indeed top five but didn't say who he would omit on the list.
Westbrook is still on top of his game as he is currently averaging a triple double this season specifically 21.9 points, 10.9 rebounds and 10.8 assists per game—same numbers he would often produced when he played with Kevin Durant. It’s easy to put Curry, Irving, and Harden above Westbrook but Thompson and Ibaka are a little questionable.
