re: Luka Doncic...the next face of the league!

Just for fun let’s compare harden career playoff numbers to someone like Steph. And consider the narratives that surround each player.

PER
HARDEN 23.3
STEPH 23.0

WS
Harden 18.3
Steph 17.1

WS48
HArden .187
Steph. .194

BPM
Harden 7.1
Steph 6.9

VORP
Harden 10.8
Steph 9.5

So you see it is close but harden has the edge at most of them. Steph has always had a better supporting cast. harden = choker? Nah Harden in Stephs place has many titles. Steph in hardens place has none. That’s why you should always be hesitant to look at titles when comparing players. If you do, you have to focus on the supporting casts. Titles should only be used as a tiebreaker when it is too close to call.
