That's pretty much how I feel as well, although I really only hate one or two aspects of his game. But he is insane on offense, and is easily one of the best scorers in the league, if not the best.

I didn't watch the game last night but saw the highlights this morning. And it looked like it was nuts. That shot in OT was almost unfair.

B never disappears. and if he can’t beat GOAT that is no indictment on him. People are saying GSW would beat Jordan’s bulls, but it is supposed to be a knock on hardwn to not be able to beat them with no other all stars yea right. Lucky for you hardwn will lead CC to the title this year so you will be able to keep your low iq takes to yourself re: what happens if he doesn’t beat GOAT.

I think you can say lebron is ahead of him career but hardwn has been the better player for a few years now. In fact idk if there’s any other way to say it.

I know you love your analytics and it is not really close is it these last few seasons.

Not an overreaction. Harden is on another level and has been for at least the last year or so. Bron is 2nd.

Hardwn got warriors twitter saying that GSW only has two all stars and two average players this year(klay and dray) in response to hardwn beating a team of four all star by himself.

Kobe Bryant in January of 2006 (13 games):
43.4 PPG
5.6 RPG
4.1 APG
29.6 shots a night
61.1 TS%

James Harden's last 13 games:
39.7 PPG
6.4 RPG
8.9 APG
25.1 shots a night
64.2 TS%



Man I love kob... and this is hard for me to do... but hardwn is gonna finish ahead of kob when all is said and done won’t he.

Who was banged up on the warriors? And this shouldn't be used against him when his running mate(CP3) had to miss those game because of injury.

Iggy who is washed up anyways. I would love to see him closing games in wcf. Would absolutely love it. Him or cousins. They both would get destroyed by hardwn. They better find a fifth guy to put in the finishing 5. And quick.

Oh I watch the games, bubba. And in the playoffs when Harden is looking for the fouls, it ain't happening as much, and his game suffers. His PER goes down, his scoring goes down, his turnovers go up. The stats support this, the eye test support this. You ain't the best player in the league if you have crumbled in the playoffs every. single. year. And that's just a fact.



GOAT regular season offensive player might be in play for Hardwn, though.

That's kind of comparison is not totally fair to Kobe or any player whose prime was in the mid 2000s. A lot of guys this year are having career years and a pure raw per game average comparison favors players now due to higher tempos and today's gameplans of using your best player as your do it all. Scorer and facilitator.

I wouldn't say Dame is better than a prime healthy Wade but he definitely has some seasons that would make it seem like so just on per game numbers

Harden is more efficient than Kobe, and less selfish with the ball.

Harden PER in the postseason would be around 20th all time if you look at reg season rankings. And that includes where all the other players were playing the dregs of the league. Hardwn hasn’t had that benefit being in the west. Oh and hardwn improves each year doesn’t he. So what happened three years ago or whatever doesn’t hold much predictive value. When you are talking about hardwn.
