What makes Durant & Curry having a better longevity than Harden & Westbrook? (alien.top)

Those four players belong to the best players of the 2010‘s. All of them won the MVP award. They are the same age (born 1988-1989).

But only Durant & Curry still are among the best players in the league. Why did they decline so much less than Harden and Westbrook?

James Harden is still good.

You have literally no proof that he's significantly regressed.

Let’s be real he cant blow by people anymore. He practically used to teleport past guys in Houston. Now we’re watching his performances basically be at the mercy of wether his jumper is on or not.

He's regressed significantly with his percentages in the paint.

Part of the reason the Celtics were able to get back into that series vs. the 76ers is that the C's would often leave the lane wide open for Harden to drive, electing instead to make sure Embiid was covered on his mid range jumper.

Harden could no punish them for it.

If you watched Harden in Houston, there's no way you'd be saying this.
