This is ridiculous crap that comes from people who think screaming and beating your chest is leadership and heart. Durant is the quiet leader, remember who called Russ out on the court? Remember who was standing up to Bosh (Dude he took on a dinosaur)? His heart and soul get a bad rap because he is so smooth. He makes it look effortless so people assume he isn't playing with the same passion, truthfully it's just that he has such a beautiful game.
you can tell a whole lot from body language and how they play and act when they are faced with adversity. Under those circumstances Westbrook has a tendency to get more aggressive and forces his will on the other team good and bad. Durant has a tendency to fade, get passive and back down. Westbrook has more heart than Durant, its that simple.
