Where's the proof. All you did was state what everyone knows already. STOP trying to deny/diminish greatness. If he was on your favorite team, I am pretty sure you would be trying to argue that he is the GOAT.
Everybody is talking about how james harden's amazing play and is a #1 sg in the league. And in consideration for mvp talk. And hes barely nipping kobes level, that kobes done for over a decade. Kobes even been better this year. Whats that mean? It (reluctantly) shows how good kobes been. Its shows no one is thinking harden is guaranteed to bring a title. And that even the #1 at their position needs some help too. Magic never won a title without Kareem. Bird never won without McHale and Parrish. Theres probably more evidence of star wings needing solid big men than of wings not needing them. ( And vice/versa)
