Daryl Morey: "It's just factual that James Harden is a better scorer than Michael Jordan...You give James Harden the ball and before you're giving up the ball how many points do you generate, which is how you should measure offense, James Harden is by far #1 in NBA history."

Take away his free throws and he's just a good scorer, not great. Never seen someone get away with more travels and flops than him in my life.

My point is that I disagree with the article saying Harden is better than MJ, but Harden is top 5 scorer as a guard imo. The difference is that Jordan has ice in his veins where Harden does not.

Harden should play soccer with them flopping skills.
What Harden really has done is surpass Dirk in the flop department.

Gtfo Dirk wasn’t a flop artist.

When will the Jordan d!€Ksucking stop? I really have to defend Harden of all people. Go look at actual game footage dude. In the 90s Jordan was untouchable because if you did it was a foul. The treatment of Jordan is what ushered in softer officiating to reduce injuries and let them “play.” Harden is as good and maybe better as a scorer than MJ because of his 3 pointer and distribution. But Jordan was a much better player because of his defense. People forget in the 90s zone defense was illegal so you could just put 4 bums in one side of the court and Jordan on the other and the defense had to play man to man so Jordan could just cook his man 1 on 1. Imagine harden or Russ in that era. Hell Lebron would score 40 a night easily in his prime against that

As for the Jordan stuff, well I don't know about all of that.

Jim Harden is way better than a guy that last played 20 years ago in a league with completely different defensive rules!!!!1
Too bad Jim isn't the defender Jordan was. And won't win like Jordan did. And won't create a legacy In which all great players are compared to, like Jordan did.
Morey been reaching all offseason, especially with that Rox vs GSW stat he threw up in the beginning. Pathetic.

I love mike. But this is true. And it’s bc of the three point shot. Harden is like a drew Brees where the numbers will say he is at the top but you got to take into consideration how the game has changed. Ie if you are part of the Brees is GOAT in an era that favors QB Unlike any time then harden is your GOAT offensive side player as well for similar reasons.

Jordan is my favorite player ever, and Harden is my current favorite player. Just be fair to both guys.

If a prime 2005 Kobe flopped in this modern NBA, he’d score 50 night with 25 points based on free throws alone.

Harden is Carmelo with a beard. Great scorer who will never win a championship
