    Agreed, however regular season offensive impact is only 1 aspect of the game. He has a ways to go before he can be considered best Rocket of all time.

    He's well on his way though. I don't believe any Rocket has accomplished as much as Harden has by age 29. Hakeem only got his first MVP and the ring when he was 31.

    The foundation that Harden is laying right now is of epic proportion‘s

    I think it's more painful to the Pels that our defense has neutralized AD the Superstar, than it is AD sticking to Capela.

    Anyone know why Clark isn’t playing at all? I like Mike but this 8 man rotation in the regular season is crazy.

    But Harden is a close second ( It's tough to beat two rings)

    I guess it's still arguable at this point since Harden has no rings yet. But if he gets some, it's over.
