CLEVELAND -- Former NBA player and 10-time All-Star Paul Pierce recently said that, right now, Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant is the best player in the game. Pierce's statement provoked a spirited debate that centered on the omission of Cleveland Cavaliers?All-Star LeBron James. Durant's frontcourt teammate Draymond Green weighed in on the discussion Tuesday, saying the answer is a matter of personal preference. Green then proceeded to explain what makes Durant so unique. "LeBron is a great player, but KD is great," Green said. "I think KD is like a created player. If you create this player and you can do everything you want to do, you are probably going to create Kevin Durant. So he's special. Both of those guys are special. I don't think either is out here playing for the title of best player in the world. They are playing for a title. An NBA title." The Warriors are up 2-0 in this year's entry in the NBA Finals...
