In terms of drive, effort and heart Westbrook > Harden

James Harden makes his teammates better.

 

Harden's team won more games and beat Westbrook in the playoffs witth, according to league experts before the start of the season - had less supporting talent. So I am not sure what the OP is getting at.

 

Student A barely studies and gets a 100 on the test.

Student B busts his ass for a 90.

90>100?

Truth hurts.

 

Not really since Harden has great work ethic..and of course a VIP pass to the strip clubs, but the point is: Harden is not just a guy relying on his God given abilities. The guy is playing basketball all the time, probably more than Westbrook. He loves the game and even Beverley complemented Harden on working hard so that says something.

 

I really don't get how people can call Harden lazy when he just had one of the most prolific offensive seasons in NBA history.

Some people must have it hard to root for a team.

 

Yeah, but the problem is Harden is just better at basketball...

 

Harden isn't just better at bball, he is also more hard working than Westbrick. Maybe Westbrick plays harder ON THE COURT, but off the court I don't know wtf Westbrick is doing because his skills are still the same since he has been a rookie, still a boneheaded broke shot low bball IQ player relying on his insane athleticism to make plays. And when his ahtleticism goes away in a couple of years he's gonna be a nobody just like DRose, Iverson, Francis etc.

Oth Harden is on track to have a very long productive career just like Kobe. He is somebody who has totally expanded on his game every summer and he has even worked on his conditioning, before last year he was depending on refs to bail him out on his drives but last year he was so in shape he was finishing plays whether or not the refs called a foul.
