Not really.

If you're talking purely from a points standpoint from the player sure.

But TS% doesn't account for the extra possessions you could give the other team by missing more shots.

Better passer No way in hell is he a better passer than LeBron
Better rebounder for position Debatable. Wade usually averaged 5-6 boards in his prime. LeBron at his best can get 8, and at his peak (2012 playoffs) he got close to 10
Better shooter At threes yeah he is better than either.
Better off ball defender Based on what
Better drawing fouls I guess
Better iso player Not at all.
Better winner with non All Stars winning what?
Better pull out game ....

So efficient, yet so dominant.
Not to mention LeBron and Wade are significantly better finishers and athletes.

What's Harden's career playoff numbers again?

[LilEddyCurry]

:facepalm

[Dro]

I mean, I dunno, he may be. He's a better ball handler than both. He's a better shooter than both. He's a better passer than Wade, definitely not a better passer than Lebron. He's a worse defender than both of them. They are all basically tied for best at drawing fouls in their respective primes. clutchness, I'd probably have to put Wade and Lebron over him.

But however you look at it, Lebron is still a better overall player than Harden now. Lebron is the best player in the NBA and he's having a "down" year according to certain standards......

LOL I just noticed the "better winning with no all-stars"

Anyone that says Harden is better at drawing fouls should re-watch the 2006 finals.

Holy crap, look how open the paint is and how non-existent the paint defense is.. :eek:

SPACING + hand-check ban + paint-camping ban = wide open paint & easier penetration

It's amazing how today's spacing, open paint, and easier penetration makes perimeter players look so dynamic.

In the OKC Heat Finals was James Harden still on that the? I remember Wade, LeBron and Durant.

I could have swore they said his name in the intros but I never saw him.

Love Harden. But he shit the bed.

Harden has not shown well in the playoffs that much is certain. but he is a better player this year it is just a matter of translating his game to the playoffs.

Harden may pass better than Wade, may shoot freethrows better than LeBron but his total skillset doesn't hold up against the former teammates.

[pauk]

....and the 1st Hardentard is born.

This thread has really gone 3 pages?

[Dresta]

Harden isn't a better passer or ball-handler or defender than either of them, by a distance.

[j3lademaster]

Harden has the best handles I have ever seen on a 2 guard
Were you not around to watch Allen Iverson? Also, prime Wade had one of the nastiest crossovers in NBA history... for any position.

Harden gives Kobe and Joe Johnson a run for their money and >Jordan from technical handles department, though.
