I really can’t believe how much time I have spent trying to convince fans of the team he plays for how ****ing great he is and how lucky we are to have him.
He's talking about Wilt's 20 straight games of 30 or more that year, but in the 1961-62 season where Wilt averaged 50 ppg, he had a stretch of 65 straight games with 30 or more. This isn't about crapping on Harden's performance, it's about there only being one comparison out there in the history of the game and it comes from a 7 foot monster amongst much smaller men. The league then had only one other man over 7 feet back then and (Swede Halbrook 7'3) he was worthless. Averaged 14 minutes per game. So what I'm saying is Wilt had no peers. Harden does. LeBron, KD, Curry, Giannis, AD, Leonard.. none of these guys are doing what James is and they all have physical gifts that compare to Harden's in a surpassing way.
still there's like around 15% of this board who nitpicks small things and takes the bigger picture for granted
The 73-9 Warriors averaged 5.7 shots per turnover. We're at 6.3 shots per turnover. More shots per turnover is a good thing.. especially when you are in range of a historic win team.
Those are the ones that probably didn't vote and are currently firing up idiotic threads at a rapid pace lol
Andrew Wiggins has played 39 games and scores 18 a game. Harden has more total points the last month than Wiggins has all season.
The NBA was measured barefoot. Wilt would be 7'2 in shoes today. Kareem-who got his unblockable sky hook blocked twice by an old broken kneed Wilt-would be 7'3 in shoes today. Bill Russell was a hair under 6'10 barefoot which would put him at 6'11. There are a lot of wrong heights as well, like Jerry West being listed 6'1 but claims he's 6'4 and looks 6'4 next to 6'6 in shoes Kobe. All that and they still could get an extra inch by stuffing their shoes and wearing the biggest soled shoe they can wear at draft measurements. Plenty of examples of players having 3 full inches higher than their barefoot listed height today. That's ridiculous. Are they wearing cowboy boots to measurements?
15% realize that Harden gags in the playoffs. The percentage should be larger, but eh, kids these days .....
Wow. Wow. Harden does it again !!! Shoutout to @don grahamleone for this link 50-Point Game Leaders All-Time Tonight Harden moves passed LeBron and is now alone @ 6th Place All-Time (13) https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/50-point-game-most-times.html
