Daryl Morey: Argument could be made for James Harden to be called best offensive player ever

Sorry but no, he is not. While media people go overboard with how Kobe and MJ would've averaged more FTs now and could average 40-45 in this era without hand checking and todays rules, they have a point. Before you say yes, just watch some MJ games and how he got 40 or 50 with the kind of defense they played back then and tell me how he wouldn't be downright scary in this era. That's just MJ. There's plenty more legends. I'd even have a hard time saying if Harden would beat out Olajuwon, considering for a big man how many moves he had offensively.

 

Precisely.
You'd have to watch Harden in several other eras to come up with a conclusion - not really possible.

 

Could be,

Come on, I could be but I am not.

If the man said like Lebron said he was GOAT then thems are fighting words.

You could be anything.

Haden could be and this stretch of games gives fuel to the fire.

What, the man's own GM is bias, the man that said 3s better then 2s and Harden is perfect for his view? No, really
