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?

    They are more efficient jump shooters and can get off their shots in a more variety of ways.

    For Durant specifically, it’s hard to contest his shot because he’s so tall.

    For Steph specifically, it’s hard to contest his shot because of the conditioning needed to guard him, (not a sprinter but a marathon runner), and how far out you have to defend him.
