During his appearance on “First Take” on Wednesday, Atlanta Hawks center Dwight Howard was asked who was the best player in the NBA— LeBron James or Kevin Durant.

James, averaged 28.5 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists through Game 2 of the Finals, while Durant averaged 35.5 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.
