Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook played together for an extremely young but talented OKC Thunder side, which reached the NBA finals in 2012. They ended up losing to the 'Big 3' Miami Heat, which eventually led to the duo of Kevin Durant and Westbrook disbanding as the small forward chose to join the Golden State Warriors.

Westbrook stayed at OKC Thunder until 2019, winning an MVP award in 2017. He then had dreadful spells with the Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards, and joined the LA Lakers in the 2021 offseason, looking to win his first championship ring.

#2 - James Harden, Brooklyn Nets

James Harden joined the Brooklyn Nets from the Houston Rockets last season in a blockbuster trade, forming inarguably the best trio in the league alongside Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. His first was hampered by multiple injuries, but he still managed to show his class, ending the regular season with the highest assists per game (counted from the time he joined the Nets).

Harden is an MVP winner, bagging the prestigious accolade in 2018. He has assumed the role of the team's starting point guard since coming to the Nets, but still has the capability of troubling the opposition with his scoring prowess as well.

#1 - Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors

There is little doubt that Stephen Curry is Kevin Durant's greatest teammate ever. Chef Curry is a two-time MVP winner, once winning the Maurice Podoloff trophy with a unanimous decision, becoming the first player in NBA history to do so. Curry and Kevin Durant played for the Golden State Warriors together, winning two NBA championships and reaching the finals in 2019.

Despite being out of the NBA for one full season, Curry returned in style during the 2020-21 campaign, getting shortlisted for the NBA MVP award. The accolade went to Joel Embiid, but the veteran point guard proved he is not done yet on the biggest stage.
