James Harden vs Jason Kidd: Who are you taking?

[IGOTGAME]

Who ya got?

Mostly depends on what kind of team I have to surround them.
But in this day and age i'd take a 3 point shooter and rim attacker like James over a prime J-kidd who is a facilitator that can score at times.

James Harden

The triple double machine

Harden just has more on offer

Kidd is rather limited....

Kidd is no slouch though.... A better, bigger version of Rondo, with an actual 3pt shot

[Just2McFly]

Jason Kidd.

End of story

Harden easily. He's going to be the 3rd best SG of all time come the end of his career.

What Harden did last season was amazing, and what Kidd did in the early 2's was amazing

I'll take Harden's 27 and 7 assists though

Kidd has the 5th most 3 pointers made in the history of the game though.

In terms of prime/peak it's pretty close, and it depends on what you need, but in a vacuum gimme J-Kidd...

Kidd's a better defensive player, a better passer/playmaker and a better rebounder - and there are NO questions about it when it comes to those areas.

Jason could score with his size and post-game, and with his ball-handling and driving, plus he always improved as a shooter... But Harden's CLEARLY a better, more impactful scorer.

Let's not forget that Kidd was all-nba 1st, all-defensive 1st and 2nd in MVP voting in 2002... And around that time he lead his team to the Finals twice, in a weak Conference but not much of a team anyways...

Imo, Kidd definitely also brought along better overall intangibles.

When you consider everything, Kidd's considerably above on the all-time list...

At this point, I'd take Kidd without hesitation. Harden hasn't exactly done anything special in his career thus far, playoff wise. Even in his self-proclaimed MVP season, his team was kept a live with him on the bench, and he had a record for turnovers in an elimination game against the Warriors. Turned ghost in the '11 finals too, which I'm not too hard on, since he was still very young.

Both Kidd and Harden are great floor generals. If I want someone to be the best player on my team I'd take Harden because he scores the ball for my team when it is needed.

Realistically, replacing Jason Kidd with James Harden on last year's team would make the Rockets worse.

Lol at comparing them as floor generals. You have lost all cred on this
