    your lack of knowledge is showing again

    The real question is would we trade Harden for most of the dudes on your dumbass list? No, because Harden is clearly better and more impactful than them. Your troll game needs work. Lillard isn't a superstar player like Harden, they're on completely different tiers. One finishes 2nd in MVP voting twice in 3 years, and the other keeps crying like a little b*tch about not making the all star team.

    One loses to a Parker/Kawhiless Spurs team by 39 at home in a must win game.

    The other does this:


    Clutch City indeed.

    Lillard has in fact gotten better and carried the team to back to back playoffs after losing all 4 of his starting teammates in 2015 and he won 1 playoff series along the way. In the same time period, Harden has only won 1 playoff series. Truth.

    back to back seasons of being a low seeded playoff team that barely won more than 40 games...back to back seasons of not making the all star team...back to back seasons of being nowhere near Harden's level as a player

    nobody cares about Lillard and his "accomplishments"

    Harden has done nothing but underachieve in Houston. And you know it. And Dame was all NBA 2nd team in 2016. Harden didn't even make 3rd team.

    55 wins and the 3rd best record in the NBA with no other all star on the roster is underachieving...u just get dumber with every post

    Congrats to Dame's irrelevant ass for making 2nd team that 1 time. Harden's finished 2nd in MVP voting twice in the last 3 years. Has Lillard ever even finished top 5? Who made 1st Team this year? Harden. Who didn't make anything? Lillard. Who's been on the 1st team 3 different times? Harden. Who's only made an All-NBA Team twice and never been on the 1st Team? Lillard. Who made the All-Star Team this year? Harden. Who was crying at home while watching Harden on TV? Lillard. Who got swept in the 1st round? Lillard.

    Lebron is better overall but Steph's shooting ability makes him the biggest difference maker in the league despite his defense.

    steven curry is the most overrated media made fake mvp of all time. the only ability he has is chucking 3's off of only illegal screens. also chewing on his mouth piece like he never eaten in his life. also making stupid faces. also picking fights he can't finish whilst hiding behind a donkey.

    Weak. Dame hasn't won anything more than Harden has.

    I forgot to ask if this thread is asking about regular season Harden or post season Harden. Regular season I would rank him 2 or 3. Post season much lower.

    The thing about Harden is only him and Lebron is a player that you can put on a trash team and make it to the playoffs. Is that the same as saying other players are less skilled, no. If you replace trade LeBron for Durant straight up the Warriors won't see much of an improvement. If you put LeBron on a trash team and you put DuRant on a trash team LeBron is going to make that trash team way farther. Harden also possess this trait.

    Lol at giannis and town on your list.


    If you're on that list, you're a one man wrecking crew caliber player capable of beating any team without one of those players by yourself.

    Sorry, giannis and towns aren't on that level. Giannis is so damn overrated it ain't even funny.

    Hardens 3-6 with curry, wb, and Kawee. Lebron is clear #1 and Durant is clear #2.

    Agreed. That 8th seeded team Harden brought to the playoffs his first year (yes, his first year) I think only KD and definitely LeBron could have takn to the playoffs. Curry, WB, Kawee no way.

    It number one, that's all I know. Doesn't play hard enough on defense to be the best player in the league.

    first did I say Cp3 quit far worse? I said if y'all Harden quit then CP3 is not any better

    and you never responded to my last post on the Cp3 thread after you said the Rockets are better than the Spurs

    because truth is the Rockets with an inferior cast around Harden lost to a vastly superior team with HCA, 6 more wins, 3-1 head to head record, multiple stars, with coach Pop in the 2nd round

    while Clips with a superior cast around CP3 with HCA simply lost to a younger inexperieced team in the 1st round

    lets make it simple for you and El Gnomo

    I prolly rank Harden 2nd or 3rd with KD (if KD was so great why can't he win with WB and go join up with a super team)

    but I understand if posters rank harden above lebron

    because if rockets traded harden for lebron last year

    Lebron James (without other stars like DWade, Bosh, Kyrie, and Love) for sure can't carry the rockets to to 2nd seed past the spurs being in the west

    and he can't by have himself beaten the 2nd seeded Spurs with a supporting cast who scored 10 points less in the playoffs as compared to the regular season. that means Lebron would have to score at least 10 more points in the playoffs compared to the regular season

    while harden, kyrie, love, jr, thompson, shumpert won't do any worse than 2nd seed in the f*n east?
