His career arc post OKC vindicates him being traded. He choked in the finals with OKC vs Miami. And has choked in playoffs for the most part ever since.

Of course he’s made so much money he’s the real winner. But the fans know he’ll choke in playoffs

You can pick and choose individual games til you blue in the face but for his career he scores more efficiently in the postseason than

Bron
Luka
SGA
Giannis
Butler
Tatum

Etc and probably 50 other HOF/ future HOFer.

And turnover per game are less than Luka, Bron, etc.

You know it’s bad when all you have to fall back on is career stats.

People seem to forget the years of excellent play that led to being more efficient when it matters most than some of the greatest players of all time and in the league today.

But he doesn't win. You play to win the game. He has been paid his whole career to win and he doesn't lead his teams to wins in the biggest moments.

It is an annual thing the last decade.

He is about to pass curry for all time playoff wins. He has won a lot in the playoffs. In his prime he never once had a healthy, reliable running mate.

And how many championships has Harden led his team to?

You keep bringing up things that don't matter at the end of the day. His teams don't win big series to win titles

Curry had 3 hall of fame teammates and harden had 1. Harden was about to send them home before his only all star teammate when down

2021. BKN has the clear best team. Harden has grade 2 hamstring. Plays after a week (same injury that keep Luka out for well over a month now). Giannis undercuts Irving and knocks him out the series.

That is two sure fire titles that are derailed by teammate injury.

Titles are dependent on injury luck.

They are.

Now tell me how many titles Harden has as either Batman or Robin on a team.

The answer rhymes with Hero

Never got the injury breaks. That’s why no one judges players on titles except for the people who watch first take and shows like that.

More than a quarter of Jim's playoff games have him with more turnovers than made fgs.

Anyway you slice it that it a tier below any star player during his career.

You’re Not even close. And he still averages fewer turnover and is more efficient than Bron in the playoffs.

So what does that tell us about the other 80% of games or whatever it is.

The ones you are ignoring.

As pressure builds, Jim falters. It's always deeper in the playoffs when it occurs.

Less assists, less rebounds, less blocks, less steals, worse plus minus.

Jim shrinks when the moment is too big. LeBron is having a better playoffs at 41 than Jim this year lol
