Harden is a shotjacker/chucker & exploiter...

[pauk]

26+ FGA on 41% FG + 15 Freethrows per game (some historic shit) is not saying he is scoring purely talent/skilled wise, more closer to him chucking/shotjacking and exploiting (drawing-flopping-acting contact-fouls offensively for FTs, desperately), im sorry...

He is good, but his stats you need to take with a big grain of salt....

You are wrong because his teams win a ton of games and he ran into the healthy Warriors the last two years.

A Lebron stan should be the last person to crap on somebody putting up huge numbers and winning games (but not championships).

Harden is the best player in the league with KD injured and Lebron old AF.

By the way, Harden is shooting 44% this year and 36% from 3. His eFG% is 52.4

For reference, Lebron's eFG% this year is 52.0...and Harden is scoring FIFTEEN ppg more than Lebron.

I will say though that Harden's antics are disgraceful a lot of the time. He does exploit the refs. Harden basically became the ultimate effective scoring spammer. But you have to be highly skilled to do that.

Where do you rank Harden vs Kobe in terms of who's better

I personally like Kobe's playstyle even more than LeBron's but I know you're a LeBron fan and don't appreciate Kobe's playstyle as much (I remember that Kobe ASG rant).

Curious which players playstyle you dislike or respect more, Harden or Kobe and which one would you rather play alongside LeBron if you had to put one on a LeBron team

Harden's nickname should be The Triggerer

The last two seasons Harden had an EFG of 54% which is not chucktastic. For comparison last season Westbrook had an EFG of 47%.

Methinks OP is just mad because Lebron is a weak foul shooter.

[ImKobe]

OP is upset that someone like Harden is crushing Lebron when it comes to stat-padding :(

Exactly, only casuals or haters will reference just pure FG%.

A guy shooting over 10 threes per game is most likely not going to shoot 50% from the field.

You need to use eFG% to factor in 3 pointers.

Harden is playing Bran ball better than Bran ever has.

Now imagine if prime Harden colluded with prime Wade/Bosh/Kyrie/Love/AD/Ray Allen/Kyle Korver + the best role players in the league.

60% True Shooting, he's a more efficient scorer than peak MJ & Kobe whilst scoring at a higher volume :bowdown:

[Proctor]

We know.

He's a contrarian's wet dream, nothing more.

[AirBonner]

Leading everyone in everything in the finals is Bran ball. No one else has done it :eek:

Technically he doesn't have the most losses.

But he did lead everyone in everything in the greatest finals comeback in NBA history.

[ImKobe]

most losses in modern NBA history :applause:

Kobe + Duncan + Shaq = 5 Finals losses
Lebron has 6 on his own with just 3 rings :roll: :roll:

LOL. Sorry bron stans but this is the only stat that we care.

This is a very ironic claim from an obvious LeBron supporter. LeBron himself shotjacks 3pt attempts when he has no business doing them as a bad shooter. He thinks he's Steph Curry sometimes. LeBron exploits the traveling rule in the league probably more than anyone except Giannis. Not to mention both Harden and LeBron are huge floppers. You really don't wanna go down this route..

Role players on the best team =/= best role players.
