Why would he shoulder the load when you have Durant AND Westbrook?

I'll take Gordon. A bunch of you guys getting caught up in the moment. Harden's nice, but he's no Eric Gordon.

He's 21, played great in his first time starting, has already developed one ELITE skill and most importantly has the perfect teammate who compliment each other perfectly. He's not as proven as Harden or Gordon but there is no reason to expect that he won't be in the discussion in a few years.

What are you basing "he's no Eric Gordon" on? 22/4/3 on 45% shooting is his best year, while Harden put 17/4/4 on 49% this season while barely playing 30 min a game.

And Harden is 6'5 drive man.

The people saying it isn't close are just being foolish. There's a reason that Gordon is one of the finalists for the Olympic team along with Harden. When Gordon is healthy he's easily one of the best SGs in the league.

Harden doesn't start and sometimes isn't on the floor in crunch time for OKC.

Give me Gordon.

Gordon's the better player, health is a major concern though.

I think Gordon plays a little bit better defense but they're basically the same player.

I like Harden more defensively. He's improved a lot from last year, aside from his tendency to flop his arse off.

And Harden is listed as 6'5 on ESPN and NBA online. He was 6'5 and change with shoes at the draft combine

Gordon:
34.4 MPG
1.4 SPG
0.4 BPG

Harden:
31.4 MPG
1.0 SPG
0.2 BPG

From watching Gordon, I think he's a little better at flying around the court and getting to the ball handler. It's not a huge difference but I'm gonna be a homer.

Can't wait to watch him and The Brow play on the same team.

How very reactionary of you. LeBron and Kobe have both played like shite in NBA Finals before
