Perkins also gave insight as to why he chose Westbrook over Durant in his Thunder rankings, saying there’s a distinction between “greatest” and “best.” He used the same distinction while stating Durant’s place in Golden State lore. “It’s just like if you talk about the Golden State Warriors, Steph Curry is the greatest Golden State Warrior of all time. You talk about the Toronto Raptors. Kyle Lowry is the greatest Raptor of all time. Does that mean that they’re the best player that ever came through? “No. We all know that KD is the best player, in my opinion, to wear a Warriors jersey. We all know that KD was the best Thunder to wear a Thunder jersey.”
