No one is claiming he is a top 5 player in the NBA

Harden overrated only by message board posters.
His fellow NBA brethren think he's so overrated they gave him their MVP last season.
Coach he competes against have said he's the hardest guy to guard that they've ever seen.
Coach K said he's the best leader they had for Team USA basketball.
You can tell how much NBA ball someone watches by statements like these that are in total disagreement with people whose livelihood is all about basketball.

Nah, he's also overrated in real life. Haven't you seen all the videos out their shitting on him and his defense?

AI played in a piss poor Eastern Conference. It's not like he was going through a bunch of great teams.

You made an idiotic statement that you should feel bad about. I'm not going to converse with you over this.

Only cares about scoring via hero ball? Check.
Lazy as all get out on D? Check.
Terrible team leader? Check.
The only difference is Harden isn't an alcoholic and he's a better 3 point shooter.

AI was the toughest guy on the court every night. He had steals in every game. Would smack you if you looked at him wrong.
Harden is the softest pussy in the league

those were the result of him gambling all day.

Quite the contrary. Why do you think he is heralded as such a beast? Because he wasn't good?
Harden will be remembered for good regular seasons, terrible defense, and disappearing in the playoffs.

AI is vastly overrated by most. He was bad on D and a volume shooter. Steals are not a measurement of a good defensive player. With that being said AI always played hard and at least tried. Harden doesn't even attempt to try on the defensive end.

Obviously no particular order. Just how they're coming in my head. And no I'm not kidding. I would take all of these players over Harden. But then again, I'd probably take just about anyone over Harden

Harden wishes he could sniff AI's armpit

I'm not sure I would have that many. I'd have maybe 15. But if I was trying to build a team, I wouldn't want to build a team around Harden. I would want an elite player to build around and bring in harden as an offensive contributor.
Posted on 4/19/16 at 11:36 am to AU_251
C'mon man, that isn't what I asked. But looking at that list, there really are a lot of great players out there. You would end up selling out your offensive soul for a bit more defensive production with several of those guys.Posted on 4/19/16 at 11:38 am to AU_251
This guy with the list gets it. I didn't say there were 20 better players, Harden is a talent. I just don't want him anywhere near my team
