We gotta face the facts. Switch Harden's name with Kobe...if Kobe had the production that Harden had last year then he would be getting GOAT chants.
Harden will prove again that he is actually now the best player in the league.

The thing is...even if you took away 80% of his free throws...he still averaged 28ppg, 7.5 assists, and 2 steals a game.

If they can play only in the post, yes. But transcendent players like Kobe could do everything. He had a million moves. Harden has literally one.
And yeah, I have hit stepback threes too. If your every shot is a stepback three youre bound to hit at least a couple.

Of course Rose is past his prime, duh. The man is on a minute restriction ffs, he might break down at any time. His knees are shot. And hes still finishing around the rim better than a prime Harden, while being five inches shorter.
Either way if Rose didnt exist Harden would still be a bum and a loser. Nothing will change that.

He has regular season skill.
When defenses are lax and refs arent swallowing whistles, dude is Superman.
In a playoff environment, when his bread and butter gets taken away, he doesnt have the heart nor the brains to find ways to win. Dude just throws in the towel immediately with no effort.
Never seen a star player with less heart. I literally wouldnt take him on my team for free, because you know youll never win a chip. Id rather take a Mike Conley and get other competitors on my team and try to win that way, than relying James Harden for anything.

How are your amazon kindle buys looking these days?
Slow and steady, thank you! Ive not promoted it nor made it available as a physical copy yet because there are a few aspects Im still ironing out. Of course anyone who’s bought it in the meantime will receive the updated version for free. Obviously I have to be absolutely sure it is fully complete and satisfactory before I can make a physical copy available, since there is no updating those once theyre purchased.
How’s.... James Harden? (I ask because he appears to be the most important thing in your life by far). Is James Harden well?

How's LeBron James Jr. doing? I know you were keeping a close eye on his "measurements".
:lol :lol
Still got eyes and ears out there monitoring the situation. So far the word has been good, everything seems to be growing in the right direction. He probably wont turn out as long as Lebron, but there’s an outside chance he could end even up thicker, if you can believe that.
As it’s often said: It’s not about length so much... it’s about GIRTH.
So there’s definitely reason to be optimistic.

Can somebody tell me how Harden finishes in traffic? He's a product of the rules, he would not have anywhere close to this production in a different era. He'd essentially be a taller version of Iverson without the ability to run off screens and score in traffic. Iverson had to actually do that, all I see is Harden walking to the rim and players just part like the red sea because they know you can't contest his shot. It's very rare that I ever see him finish in "traffic". He takes wide open layups and push shots and shoots less than 1 mid-range shot a game.
One thing I do love about him is his willingness to improve. Last year he lost in a tough conference finals not being able to take advantage of KD being injured. What does he do? Goes back to the lab and works on a running fading saideways 1-foot three pointer. I mean, clearly that is what stopped them from winning the championship. His vision and ability to key in on the major areas of his game that need improvement to come back better than ever in order to be a true winner are commendable. Congrats James :applause:

listen you can't tell me you don't see defenders walk away when he drives a LOT. The amount of times I see him get a quarter step on his defender and they just kinda shadow him to the rim only to walk away is crazy. His ability to draw fouls is one of his best skills because it's not just the ft's he gets out of it, it's the psycological impact it has on defenders

This and the era he's playing in. All harden has to do is beat his initial defender (who's not allowed touching him btw) and he has a free trip to the lane. Kobe had tonseal with multiple defenders who were allowed to be way more physical.
Harden is no Kobe. He'll never be a champion and he'll never be on a first defensive team.

Harden doesn't post up or shoot 1 to 2 dribble pull ups from mid range. If he added this to his game, he would be a bigger threat when certain things are taken away from him offensive.
But I guess all the playoff choking hasn't given him the brains to improve this area of his game.
Harden is a great scorer and takes advantage of the rules today. But the best player in the NBA? Nah

No one played better to n the meaningless regular season maybe. Kawhi was better for n the playoffs. Pretty much the same offensive impact but way more impactful on the defensive end.

Harden barely cracks top 10 in the league.
1. KD
2. AD
3. Kawhi
4. Embiid
5. PG
6. Curry
7. Giannis
8. Lebron
9. Jokic
10. Harden
Even that is too much for someone who is a weak defender and has one move in his repertoire. Every other top 10 player checks more boxes than him. But he stuffs the sheet with unprecedented time on the ball and his freethrow antics, I guess its gotta count for something

Harden was better against the Warriors than Kawhi. Kawhi actually went to the free throw line more than Harden did in the postseason, and averaged 11 ft/g against the Warriors.
If Kawhi was in Harden's place last year, the Rockets might not have even made the playoffs because Kawhi only played 60 games...
