Durant says his fiancee is the better basketball player

Kevin Durant is still chasing his first championship ring, but his fiancée already has two.

Monica Wright and the Minnesota Lynx claimed the WNBA title on Thursday, and also won it in 2011.

Durant came close of a title in 2012, but fell short to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.

Has the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar become jealous of his bride to be?


Durant might not be kidding that she's better.

The couple met at the 2006 McDonald's High School All-American Game.

Wright went on to become the 2010 ACC Player of the Year at Virginia, and Durant the 2007 Naismith College Player of the Year at Texas.

Durant will likely get a NBA championship ring one day, but the engagement ring he gave Wright in July probably means a lot more to him.
