I think to these players it's more about who's had the "greatest" impact to them

I could swear I recall a Kobe quote where he said you could never win playing Harden's style.

Kobe may be HIS GOAT.

thats about it.

not surprised, both were team chemistry killers, uncoachable (phil 2004 book), shot jockers from anywhere inside half court.

most importantly, neither can play off the ball without hogging the ball forever.

I'm guessing this is satire and you're attempting to be funny.

And Harden probably agrees because he got fatigued and couldn't make jump shots in the Playoffs as a result of his high volume in the RS.

Agreed. I doubt they are carefully weighing the pros/cons of Kobe vs. Bill russel, Elgin Baylor, Magic Johnson in their minds. Harden likely grew up idolizing Kobe and patterned his 1:1 ISO game on him.

Why would that matter?
