Even without making the playoffs this year, Lebron has still played on more playoff series and won more playoff games in the last 3 years than harden has.

lol like harden wouldn’t have been able to win the east the last two that lebron did. Harden was g sweeping strong teams like Utah and Minnesota while lebron gettin push to 7 by teams like Indiana. You gotta be able to recognize the difference in opponent strength.

LeBron vs. GS since 2015:

33.0/11.5/9.5 on 51.9% eFG% and 55.6% TS%. Game score of 27.0 average.

Harden over that time frame?

29.8/6.3/6.3 on 50.2% eFG% and 57.5% TS%. Game score of 21.2 average.

Lebron is 1-8. Steve Kerr himself said Houston is the best team they have played in the 5 years he has been there. Cleveland posed no threat to GSW. None. When GOAT is up 20 on the lebron in q3 he can pad his stats all he wants. Lebron stats v goat is like devin bookers stats. A player on a team with no chance to win putting up big numbers bc the opposing d don’t even have to try they win so easily.

1-8. One and eight.

Average margin of defeat was in excess of 14 points. Not close.

Damn, nine more Finals games than Houston has played in the last quarter century.

There should be a rule where you have to occasionally make the Finals before you get to talk about how easy it is to make the Finals.

lebron probably wouldn’t have got outta rd 1 in the west last year. harden and cc woulda g swept their way to the finals. You really gotta be able to judge opponent strength if you wanna be taken seriously. east has been trash for a long time.

Honey, that's just what teams who can't make the finals tell themselves.

Oh you were talking about the Kerr comment. Yes Kerr includes all of the lebron teams that played GSW in his quote. Houston is the best they have played since he has been there. He knows how banged up they were whenever they lost to CLE that year.

Listen bubba, as a die hard LSU football fan I could complain they’ve played in the toughest division in the toughest conference in the nation. But since I’m more of a high IQ sports knowledge type I just have to laugh at the guys who have to use such excuses

There's nothing like actually winning.

Arizona Basketball was 21-0 and easily #1 in all metrics in 2013-14 when Brandon Ashley broke his foot and we lost in OT to Wisconsin in the Elite Eight.

Did Arizona fans riot because we were easily/technically the best team that year? No, we rioted because we lost.

Winning is ultimately what it is all about.

So if you had to make up a team and would get the last 3 years of Harden or the last 3 years of Lebron, you'd take Harden?

PER 29.2 to 27.3 hardwn
TS - hardwn
Ws/48 - .262 to .211 massive advantage hardwn
BPM - 10.9 to 8.8 hardwn
VORP - 27.3 to 21.2 hardwn massive again
Wins - hardwn massively
SOS - hardwn by a long shot. Lebron play two of those seasons in the lowly east where he gets to play all those teams 3 or 4x a year.

This is not close. Hardwn has been clearly better player than lebron for the last three seasons.
