I can't believe Giannis Antetokounmpo is on any of the 3 teams. What has he done to deserve it? Shouldn't you have to have a stretch of outstanding years during the decade? Ridiculous.
I hate Kobe and the Lakers, and am really depressed at myself having to argue his side, but Harden > Kobe at this point is frankly stupid. And with that, I'm done defending that confirmed @sshole and probable rapist.
again, the rockets could not beat them in ONE GAME without Durant, please do not overlook the dominating series Durant had until that ONE GAME. And Toronto didn't just beat a Durantless Warrior team, they got the upper hand because klay missed time as well. Not only that but Looney was hurt and did not play. That is 3 starters who missed significant time vs Durant missing 1 and a half games. Yah I think that is a huuuuge differentiation
I never dismissed winning unlike Kobe, Harden has never had a losing record. I don't care how many defensive teams Harden has been, what is Kobe's overall winning percentage, how !any times has he missed the playoffs? Since winning means so much to you.
LOL now you're trying to make the point that winning is where Harden trumps Kobe? That's hysterical. I'm done with this. Have a good one.
If curry-harden-kawhi-Lebron-Durant was a starting 5..... They’d all have “quiet” 30 point games every night on 80% shooting
1. Harden is better than Kobe. You can't understate the influence the NBA has on it's players and Kobe was the designated 'Next Jordan' from his rookie year, played in LA, played with Shaq....Harden absolutely is better. 2. She got a big mouth. Also, having Kawhi in a Toronto uniform is straight up disrespectful to San Antonio. And you could argue that Durant should have an OKC uni on there too.
People forget defense counts in the NBA. that's why Hakeem is so much better than Ewing, not even in the same class and it's because of Defense.
Lol did u look at the numbers. I'm not denying kwahi isnt a better player, but if they were to retire right now melo a hall of famer. Kwahi just isnt rn. For a 10 year player melo has been the better player. Kwahi didnt even crack 20 a game
This is 5 years old, but is defense for court awareness is still the same. His low post defense is All NBA though due to this THICKNESS
Bro let it die lol. Kobe is better then harden lol..by every metric. Again that's no slight...its kobe freaking Bryant
It’s actually very much the opposite. Harden is better by just about every metric. Very easy to check all that stuff. Statistically Kobe has very little to stand on in the comparison. The ringzzzz argument, fact that he was a life long Laker(spotlight and career of overratedness) and reputation as a lockdown defender is pretty much the only “legit” talking points the pro Kobe guys have to stand on at this point.
If Kawhi doesn't win a ring against the injured Warriors, I don't think he even makes the 3rd team. This lost me with the first graphic. Paul deserves it over him. Possibly Anthony Davis too. This list should be about personal dominance, not about team success.
That doesnt make any sense at all bro, having no prep time to prepare doesnt make things easier, thats a flawed assumption out the gate. As to the supporting cast are you forgetting Gasol, Siakm, Danny Green, Fred Van Fleet. Yea you can say "but no all stars" but its really not true he had probably one of the strongest supporting casts in the NBA and they beat an injured Warriors team. Siakm could have been an all star, he gave him all star level production in the POs.
Make the statement that Harden is better than Kobe anywhere outside of Houston and you will be laughed at hysterically. Come on. Harden has a lot of work to do if he wants to be remembered in the same realm as Kobe and MJ. At this point he's closer to Tmac than Kobe. He's in the Barkley, Stockton, Malone, tier if his career ended right now. 1 finals appearance. Lot's of regular season success. Couldn't get over the hump and defeat the hot team of his time period. I hope that changes this year though. The championship drought has been loooooooooooong.
i think that if the main option of the team your facing disappears it's in your benefit to not give them time to come up with a new gameplan. that's pretty obvious imo all i said was he had one all star, which is technically correct. the best kind of correct. you can argue some of harden's role players gave him all star production in the post season despite not being literally all stars too
