Shaq instantly responding, "I would agree with that," is somehow even dumber than Chuck's insane take. I love when Ernie, 5 seconds later, is like...wait...what did you just say...surely you didn't...this can't be real life...
klay thompson the second best player in the nba has never posted a PER above 20 lol.... in international play he gets exposed
I'm most impressed that he is the second best player in the NBA while only being the 4th best player on his own team.
Agreed. I think it is a toss up between him and Green, depends on what your team needs. If I'm the Rockets I take Green over Klay but if I'm the Spurs who already have some good bigs I take Klay. 2nd best player though? That is just insane. I wonder if Charles even watches these games.
I love Charles Barkley. Went to the same school as him. Have met him multiple times. Great dude. His basketball opinions are, unfortunately, moronic.
its a miracle when klay grabs a rebound or gets more than 3 assists, whenever he touches the ball the shot is going up lol
Can we stop bumping this thread & let it die? There's no comparison and the fact a lot of idiots think there is why Harden's the most underrated player of his generation.
Klay looks like you know what tonight. lol With Durant I expect his numbers to dip. Kalys game is move off the ball and shoot. No sane individual would take a system player like him over a player you can build system around like Harden
Kawhi looked like the best player in the game last night. We'll see how he does going forward. Harden Is clearly a better passer/playmaker and his offensive game has more flash but you can't deny that Leonard while not pretty has developed a way were he just gets buckets and effeciently at that. Defensively... wow he's slowly in my mind becoming maybe the best wing defender the game has ever seen. Keep in mind he's doing this and not even being able to really put his hands on you like the old days of the hand check era. If he was allowed to hand check nobody would ever score on him. I also think harden would be pretty darn good on D if he was allowed to hand check because of his length and strength. What's crazy is these two guys should be teammates... smh looking at you morey. Not only do there games compliment each other there also both top 5 players. Plug in kawhi on this team over Ariza and Houston is the best team in the league. Same can be said if harden was in SA... Gross lol.
LMAO, Klay shooting 10% from the 3-point range, plays shi*ty defense, contributes nothing for his team when his shots aren't falling, but he's supposed to be better than a guy who's averaging 32-7-12 for the season, smh. Terry was spot on about Klay (and wrong wrt Kawhi); a gloried B-side role player... nothing more, nothing less.
says who barkley and shaq, 2 men known to hate james harden. James Harden is the best combo guard in the league, if he shot as much as westbrook he would average 40 in mike's offense http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6475/klay-thompson a PER below 10, and watch this guy still make the all-star team and maybe even start over harden lol
Klay also cannot play the PG, he is a full SG. He is not that versatile. So comparison is moot now. Harden is thriving and Klay will be overshadowed by Durant. One is going up, the other is going down. Hindsight really. Shift of power that was Durant changing places. MDA's experiment seems to be working. Monstar game. JH has found versatility in playing the point. I admit playing that for 38 or 40 minutes is really a daunting yet fulfilling task.
I know I said we shouldn't bump this thread but the fact they compare a glorified 3&D guy to Harden & the fact that he made the All-NBA team over him still pisses me off.
I mean just watch their games. Talent wise Harden is completely on a different level, even last year it wasn't even close. I hope people finally see this OBVIOUS truth. Jesus christ, it's like comparing Kobe or T-mac to some 3rd string 3&D role player. WTF are people thinking.
