Two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant is generally held in high regard for his sharp shooting skills. 

Despite leading the league in scoring four times throughout his prolific career, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green recently asserted that Durant should not be considered the NBA's best scorer. 

At one point during a recent edition of the "Draymond Green Show," the Warriors star began comparing Durant to Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving. 

Green played alongside Durant in Northern California for three seasons. While Green and Durant appeared to get along enough to win a pair of championships together, the underlying rift between them seems to have grown in recent years.

Shortly after Green's physical altercation with Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic, Durant publicly shared his hope that Green would eventually seek the "help he needs."

"That was insane to see," Durant said in December. "Glad Nurk is all right. Never seen that before in a basketball court in an NBA game. I hope Draymond gets the help he needs. It's been incident after incident. I know Draymond, and that's not… he hasn't been that way when I was around him and coming into the league. Hopefully, he gets the help he needs to get back on the court and put all this stuff behind him."
