I'll always remember those 19 points he chipped in on route to that listless 15 point drubbing in 2012. Or the 8 points he chipped in on 20% shooting the game before. You have to think if he had better intangibles, he could have pulled out Game 4. The Thunder only lost by six!

Anthony Davis averaged 31 and 11 with three blocks a game shooting 54% percent in his first for playoff games.

Only Bob Mcadoo, Wilt, and Kareem averaged over 30 and 10 in their first four playoff games. Don't doubt AD's greatness fool.

Was Kareem's name James Harden before his conversion? I would assume someone with such great intangibles would be on this list.

That isn't a realistic trade, but holy shite he'd be good there. Cavs need a shot blocker and he provides that. He's added distance to his shooting and the floor spacing in Cleveland is as good as anyone's with a fully healthy roster.

He would make them the overwhelming favorites to win the title.

Harden had a game with a 41 game score when CC was facing elimination v GSW in WCF.

And the Rockets still should have lost that game.

That was a long time ago. That was before he joined CC so I don't even care about that TBH. We are concerned with CC James not the Arizona st one. Or the OKC one.

So, you're saying that his intangibles and leadership got better over time? Wouldn't you expect another finals appearance?

None of those games scored as high a game score as James game v GSW in WCF when CC was facing elimination.

This version of GSW is going to prove to be the best team maybe ever so no we don't expect a finals appearance this year.

Like that's an apt comparison. Harden had far more seasons and playoff games to his name. You're grasping at straws bro

Davis hasn't been on a winning squad much in his hoops career outside of the one year at Kentucky when his team was loaded. Career loser even in HS. No leadership skills. Heck James has never missed the playoffs in his career. Lead a good team back at ASU. Career winner kinda guy.

Making the WCF with James surrounding talent is proof of elite leadership. Only a peltard would disagree. Not being able to get to 35 wins when your fanbase champions you a top 5 player is a clear sign of no leadership abilities.

Can't win the big one with historically good supporting cast. Plays his worst (by a large margin) on the biggest stages. He's basically the NBA's answer to Dan Marino at this point in his career.
