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?

The first is Durant and Curry are easily the best shooters. But more than that they can score in a variety of ways and do it all on offense, on and off ball. Probably the biggest thing is they both know how to move off ball to get themselves in a better position to score when they get the ball. Harden and Westbrook are almost exclusively on ball players so when they lost a step and aren't able to get by their guys they don't have anything else to turn to and all they can do is spam the PnR.
