    You know how I know he's an all time great?

    Because he had 37 points on 32 shots, 11 rebounds, 6 assists to 5 TO's, and 4 steals.... and lots of fans are calling this a stinker. That's absolutely insane.

    Imagine for a moment if Paul George had those numbers. No one on earth would call it a bad game.

    At the 1730 mark of the most recent Bill Simmons podcast, Where Bill and Chuck Klosterman have a long interesting chat on viewing basketball players from the past and it ultimately lands on discussing Harden.

    CK says after watching Harden do this unbelievable run he wondered has he figured out the best way to play? Shouldt Kyrie be doing this for Boston?

    Bill said it’s just not replicable.

    Really good listen.

    I'd trade a little of Harden's historic run for wins against Brooklyn and New Orleans.

    I agree. But, ridiculously, there are other people that think it is not only replicable but VERY replicable by any number of players.
