Kobe in his prime had 10.3 FTA compared to 9 for Harden. Harden has better over % in all categories ,though their # quite similar . Kobe has one more rebound ,where Harden has one assist/game. When Kobe scored 81 points, he did it with over 43 shot attempt, and 18FTA. So basically Harden if he want to do it , he can, but in a more efficient way.
