Among the superstars at training camp are former teammates with the Oklahoma City Thunder, James Harden and Kevin Durant.
Harden ultimately moved on to the Houston Rockets due to the fact that the Thunder could not afford three superstars on their roster, and a new rivalry of sorts was born.
After training camp today, Harden and Durant competed in a one on one king of the hill that also included Indiana Pacers guard Paul George.
According to reports, Harden and Durant put forth quite the effort against one another.

While it is great to see the competitive spirit of these superstars, some part of you has to miss Harden, Durant, and Russell Westbrook on one team no? Either way, we hope this is just the first of many king of the hill drills we see over training camp.
