    So let me get this straight. We go through a whole f@cking season of Westbrook being AIDED by his teammates so he can get rebounds/triple doubles (Adams blocking out) and BSPN never wrote an article on it....they would joke about it in highlights but didn’t write about. PJ does it ONE f@cking time last night and BOOM BSPN has an article on it within 12 hours!

    First 40pt trip dub in under 30 minutes

    According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Harden became the first player in NBA history to record a 40-point triple-double while playing fewer than 30 minutes, as he finished with 43 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in 29:34.

    if refs would favor him over gsw he could
    NEVER FORGET
    Harden was on his way to win it all last year even after cp3 fell down for injury
    its only the refs that have stopped Harden

    The list of players who are better in the playoffs than they are in the regular season is short as ****.

    i don't know, maybe? he was the best player in the nba for a decade so its possible. all we needed was harden to be the best player on the court in games 6 and 7 and we beat gsw

    yeah, and i want Harden on that list. i'm hoping he gets on it, we'll see

    C'mon bro what about the 3 titles and 4 MVPs? So what if the East is weaker? Individually Lebron has brought his team to the Finals every year and he has beat top teams in the league to get there like Toronto, Celtics and Indiana when they had PG. His teams make the finals and then suck when he leaves that shows his impact on those teams.

    Ok Lebron had Kyrie he won a ring, how is the gap close between him and Harden when Harden doesn't even have 1 ring to his name? 9 finals vs 0 Finals but the gap is close lololololol!

    I'm one of the biggest Rox homers here but c'mon you straight up tripping. What next, Gordon is better than Kobe? Lol!

    Lebron is on the downside of his career Harden is in his prime obv Harden would be better now. But like I said when it comes to Goat conv you need the entire career and the gap between Lebron and Harden is like heaven and earth.

    Miami Heat Lebron was the most dominant player in the league since MJand Hakeem. As good as Harden is now Lebron in his prime is still better because he had the agility and speed of Kobe with the body of Malone.

    1 he had HELP...2(TWO) ALLSTARS always played with him in the last 8 years ...ALWAYS....

    2 you underrate playing in lesteren conference east and having ALL STAR TEAMMATES... harden always come to playoffs TIRED and have to go through bloodbath playoffs before even reaching to the finals and lebron always come to playoffs well rested and even the best teams in the east are joke even in the playoffs
    if lebron and harden switched places do you really think harden wouldnt reach finals always playing in the east alongside 2 allstars and no other team had 3 allstars during that period ?

    3 as for MVP its pretty much a joke but this should be hardens 3rd so thats that but this is where you and me mostly have different opinions...winning titles mvp and other accomplishments are for naught in goat debate... you always need context

    eg do you really hold it against harden that refs wouldn't let him reach the finals last year... this is the crux of the mater.... are we able to form our opinions independently or we conform to the media hype and official awards...do you really hold it against harden that wesbrick lovers gave him hardens deserved MVP because he accomplished triple double average although he was the lesser player?

    respectfully
