Are you familiar with (obscure stat that favors my argument)? Because (obscure stat that favors my argument) shows that my player is better than yours.

LeBron changed his game so the pace would not favor Golden States offense. I admire how how Westbrook goes 100% all the time but it makes his teammates cold and he is tired at the end of the game when it counts. Plus Westbrook has more offensive options than LeBron in the finals. He is about 9-10 in a list of best players to me

What's funny is that AD's average game score for the season is 22.2 and Harden's average game score is 21.7.

I can tell you this right now bro Harden is the kind of guy who has his eyes set on a championship, these midweek games against middling teams don't always excite him. It's human nature imo to play your hardest and your best when up against the toughest of opponents.

And without even looking at stats you can use an eye test.



Which every major publication and sports authority uses when placing AD above harden in player rankings haha.

There isnt a team in the NBA, including the Rockets, that would take Harden over AD.

It's just a game score bro, most stats/metrics measure play over the course of the entire season. If you want to see who is best at their respective best, game score is solid.

Yea the players just said this guy had the best season in the league, leading his team to the conference finals and 2 seed, but we're gonna take some guy who didn't win a playoff game over him.

I said his 2nd worst game score came in a game against the Pels.


His worst game score was against Golden State.

Harden averaged a 16.65 game score against Golden State. More than 5 points below his season average.

Never cracked a 20 game score against the Spurs.

Below his average against CLE

Less than half his average against CHI

In fact, the only playoff teams that Harden's average game score was above his season average was Indiana and Portland.

Of his top 20 games by game score, only 6 of them came against playoff teams.
Of his top 41 games by game score, only 15 of them came against playoff teams.
Of his bottom 40 games by game score, 26 came against playoff teams.


On the contrary, Of Davis' top 41 games by game score, 20 came against playoff teams.

Davis' averaged a higher than season average game score against Dallas, Boston, Golden State, San Antonio and LAC.

Yes, the rankings theyve already made. Not the hypothetical ones they will make that you assume will support you haha.

Come on bro, it's human nature that sometimes when you want something so bad(like beating Spurs/Warriors of the world)that you exert too much energy at the start and then don't have enough left in the tank for later in the game.

Excuses are for losers baw. AD is better than harden. It's just a fact. Don't take it personally.
