Every time I open this thread, a lot on threads in the garm in fact, I get smacked in the face with just how stupid a lot of people are. Having an opinion is cool but some statements around here are just... sigh. Not worth debating anymore
Sucks lately that we can't be fanatics without having to listen to a lecture on team history or a comparison about x and y players .. can't we have fun anymore? James Harden IS the best player currently and he MIGHT end up being better than Dream and MJ .. is it really that bad to say?
He's doing things equal to if not better .. we can't get excited about that? Isn't it fairly standard operating procedure when guys do historic things to wonder just how good they will be?
Remember, offense is just one side of the equation. Both Hakeem and Jordan were also great defenders and true 2-way players. Harden has made great strides in his defense this year, but he is still a long ways away. You can get excited, but it is always smart to not get carried away. Me personally, I enjoy the present, because countless of things could disrupt the future.
okay no doubt KD was better than harden when KD was still in OKC. But he left those cats in OKC and banwagonned with a 3 star/73 win team because he cannot continue being the #1 option and have only 1 star beside him. so what's KDs winshare this season vs Harden's winshare season? is KD even the best player of GSW this season?
You can look all this stuff up yourself lol. His WS this season are 8 to Harden's 11 so far. He has the most WS out of anyone on GS this season. Last year his WS/48 were better than Harden.
Idk dude look it up lol. The're 1a and 1b. Most people including myself would agree that KD is a better basketball player overall. Kerr said this himself lol. It really isn't that big a deal so I'm done with this back and forth.
it seems you allowed yourself to be carried away by the idea that its always a bad idea to be carried away
you pointed to hardens lack of d as the argument against him being equal to or better than MJ, if so, then why durant (being a great defender himself and even rim protector ) or lebron arent better than MJ since their offensive talent is close to harden?
