LeBron was 17 7 7 shooting .477 in last year's finals. Harden is 11 5 3 shooting .351 in this year's finals. One can argue that LeBron's numbers were still max worthy, just a little passive. Harden's number is sub-MLE level. His shooting % is atrocious, one of the main reasons OKC is down 1-3.
Man we hold LeBron too an insane standard, that i have never seen before of any other athlete in my time
Harden's performance in this year's Finals was not good, but I can give him a pass because he is only 22 and this is his first time on such a big stage. If this becomes a trend however it would be worrisome. Let's see what he does in the playoffs next year. I expect him to learn a lot from this year's experience.
