as far as individual ability

Iverson is #1, imo. Dude was so much better than he gets credit for.

Cool. He was the reason they dominated a team and player that beat them the year before. He dominated the 17 finals and 18 finals, as the best player on the court.

You don’t like him, cool. But facts don’t care about your feelings.

He joined a team that was already producing championships. He has never led a team to a championship.

Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't realize I was talking to the foremost expert on how good basketball players are. Defense is half of the game and CP is one of the best defensive point guards to ever play the game. Harden may as well not be on the court when his team is on D. Harden has also been a cancer to any team he's been on. I would take CP and Stockton every day over Harden.

*1 title two years before that they were lucky Irving and Love were hurt.
They lost the year before. He led them to a 5 game route, then a 4 game sweep. Hence his two finals MVP. Facts. They lost against the Raptors when he was injured. They haven’t been contenders until 3 seasons later.

I get you’re a troll, your handle gives it away, but context, not your feelings on Durant, matters.

CP lost to harden when it mattered most twice. Cp had more help each time.

CP left his own franchise to be the Robin to HOU bc it was his best chance to win, then shite the bed when it mattered most.

Chris is all time great but clearly behind JH.

One dude was the best player on a Finals teams, and the other is James Harden.

Chris had prime deandre, prime Blake, prime redick, and blew a 3-1 lead to harden, past his prime howard, and a bunch of 35 year olds.

Then he had Shai, Adams, Gallinari and shroeder and lost to harden with house, Gordon, and Tucker as his help.

He joined a team with at least 2 hall of famers in their prime. Nobody respects his rings. The same way nobody respected LeBron's rings in Miami.

Barkley said harden is the best offensive player of all time. So I don’t think chuck wojld even take himself.

Here ya go

quote:

He (James Harden) is the most awesome offensive player I've ever seen," Barkley said. "Listen, Michael and Kobe were better players from the guard standpoint, but as far as offensively, they couldn't shoot threes like him, they were not as great at dribbling the basketball, going to the basket, getting fouled. "...We've got to give that guy credit, man. He's an offensive machine, plain and simple." Barkley also said that Harden might be the best basketball player in the world currently, with "no disrespect to LeBron or Giannis" or anybody else in the discussion.

How about this, buttercup.
