    Manu is a lefty... not better than harden though. But I always thought Harden was a better version of Manu.

    I think Russel and Robinson have arguments that could be made.

    Not sure about Archibald.

    Harden is at worst 4th all time

    Dwight Howard. I hear he broke his right hand as a kid and he shoots better left handed.

    Manu would've put up 40 points per game if he was allowed to jack it up every night like Harden
