Others just not trained to needlessly bump into a defender and then frailing after every shot to get calls. Harden has perfected it.


Defenders are trained to foul Harden? I dont get it.

Handles
Balance
Strength
Passing
Hoops IQ
Footwork

HARDWN has all of those at the most elite of levels. Like best or top 5 best in the world at each skill. He’s brilliant.

Harden right now is doing what Westbrook did in the period between PG13 and Durant- put up crazy stats because the entire offense runs through them and there’s nobody else on the team that can create their own shot.

The dude is absolutely a great scorer and can draw fouls better than anybody else, but with Paul being out, the ball is in harden’s hands 99% of the time.

Please don’t compare the two. the efficiency isn’t even close. This Houston offense is top 10 all time right now. That’s with Chris missing a bunch and Eric missing a bunch and neither of them with good starts when they were playing.

OKC was ranked somewhere around 20th offensively in that particular season.

I get the point you are making, but Harden is taking it to another level.

Harden is currently on a streak with 17 30+ point games in a row. That's the longest streak since Wilt Chamberlain in 1961.

Was at the game. Was the quietest 57 points ever. He’s great ... but it just seems effortless...

Just active players?
Harden is not a better passer than

LeBron
Curry
Paul
Lonzo
Rondo
Luka
Simmons

And more.

Hardens assists are a byproduct of iso ball he doesn’t have elite vision

Harden is elite at balance and change of pace. Just phenomenal

Doesn't he take 90% of the teams shots?

He is sacrificing regular season stats now for playoff glory later. He will burn out or get injured soon enough if he gets no help in the effort to stave off getting run in the first round as a 7th or 8th seed.

Players win Gsmes, Teams win Championships. Fact...., just ask LeBron.

I watched a little bit of last nights game. Let me make this clear that I do not watch NBA typically until the Finals. Why is Harden allowed to use his forearm to push off defenders and then step back without an offensive foul being called? Or when he drives the lane he intentionally drives into the chest of the defender and pushes them back with his forearms and shoulders thus resulting in a blocking foul. It seems egregious to me but multiple times this occurred last night and there were no offensive fouls called from the little I watched.

Is NBA officiating that much different from college?

Wow. Looky here. Prime hardwn is the only player in nba history whose mere presence ensures all time elite team offense isn’t he.

He is allowed to do what the rule book says he can do. He is just better than anyone else at it. Did you see when steph Tried to do the hardwn step back the other day and was called for traveling. It was because he did travel. He doesn’t have the footwork that hardwn has on that particular shot. And he took a extra step. And then got mad about it. Hardwn is in GOATs head isn’t he. He has the mental edge on them this year.

College officiating is garbage and makes it a completely unwatchable product

Lol you're trolling now. Harden clearly traveled on that famous stepback from a few weeks ago.
