Does Harden have the potential to be better than T-Mac in his prime?

this is a joke....harden is wayyyyyyyyy bettttttttter than tmac. tmac is stephen Marbury

 

Harden's more of a winner and T-Mac was more of a scorer.

 

T-Mac's lame-out in Houston is doubly bad because it seriously affected the career of the great Yao Ming.

T-Mac was more gifted than Harden, but I think Harden will prove to be more of a winner.

 

The finals is all that matters. In the biggest stage he choked. Lebron didn't get a pass and became known as Lachoke. No way is Harden gonna get one when he isn't a superstar of the league yet.

What makes you think Harden is more of a winner? If he really wanted to win he would have stayed in OKC. Also winners don't jack up shot at the cost of their team going into disarray. He got called out by Ppat for crying out loud.

I don't even think you can compare T-Mac and Harden yet. It's like people trying to compare Lin and Nash. It's too damn early.

 

Mental? You mean excessive injuries?

 

Wow this is the,most biased opinion i have read in months from q noobie who most likely never seen tmac in his prime

 

I sure hope so but only time will tell.

TMac could do a lot of things extremely well. The one attribute that he lacked to make himself an elite player is the having the ability to make the players around him better.

That's what separates the good from great players. Without that attribute, teams aren't able to step it up a notch, and that's what it takes to win in the playoffs....NOT in the regular season.

TMac never ONCE played on a team that got out of the first round.

"It's on me".....speaks for itself!!!!!!

 

lol wat? Aside from scoring, making plays is what made Tmac a sought after star. He also stepped it up in the playodds and raised his averages (including assists) its just that his team mates and refs failed him time and time again. I can still remember that Game 7 against the Jazz where we were neck and neck and we had the momentum because of him and Yao but our role players just could not grab a ******* rebound and make open shots. smh

 

that doesn't mean he isn't a winner. maybe he wants to win where he is the man and didn't want to win while riding durant's coattails off the bench

 

I knew it. From the very start I knew the hate on Harden was about something else. Get the **** out of this forum. When did you people start to feel the need to diss our star player because your poster boy isn't getting it done?
I realize the only person you guys had before this was Jackie Chan, but come on man, talk about insecurity.

You didn't even mention Tmac. You just took the opportunity to bash Harden and mention Jeremy at the end. Too early to compare Steve Nash and Lin? One of the greatest point guards ever in the history game to Jeremy Lin? But there is just two wide of a divide between Harden and Tmac? The difference is we can compare Tmac and Harden right now. You can hold on to your delusions that SOMEDAY Jeremy Lin will learn to play basketball, and then become a multiple MVP, Hall of Fame Player. Got news for you, it isn't gonna happen if he can't even play in crunchtime. I've had enough of you people. Get the **** out of this forum. You should be banned for absolute stupidity. Your not a Rockets fan.

 

So are you telling me to compare Lin and Nash? BTW I'm Black. I ain't Asian. Didn't know Black People had Jackie Chan.

I didn't mention t-mac? This is my 5 post I think in this thread. If I can search my own posts I would, but I can't. Go one page back, where I was talking about t-mac.

I never said anything about Lin in this thread other than to not compare him to Nash.

 

Harden is a better player.

T-MAC was more gifted and athletic however his attitude and demeanor and style of play was detrimental to the team. Shoot, T-MAC was more gifted than Kobe but because of his injuries and lack of heart no one would ever say T-MAC was better than Kobe.

Harden still has a lot of upside.

 

Right because
The gap between Harden and Tmac equals that Jeremy Lin and Steve freaking Nash.
Great job Copernicus

 

Harden is Already way better.

 

I think last year I read an yahoo sports article about t-mac, debunking the rumors that said that he was Lazy and didn't have the will to win.

T-Mac Prime was just a scoring a machine. No one could stop him. Those 3-5 years, he was in beast mode. But he went down hill too fast for some reason unlike Kobe. Kobe was gifted with longevity unlike t-mac. Suprising that both t-mac, and vince carter went down the way they did. And both were from the same team.

 

No and he won't need to where this team is headed.

 

That is a ridiculous analogy, in no way is comparing Lin and Nash like Comparing T-Mac and Harden.

Don't believe me, post it as a poll on a couple of other non-rockets forums and you'll see that it would be even more lopsided. At least the rockets knew tmac's strengths despite all his injuries and drama, but most people outside the team don't.

I was a t-mac fan at a time, and the guy was a prolific scorer...game was a beauty ...but he was never willing to put it all "in" to win. Evidence of this was when he would settle late in game 7s for jumpers despite the fact he ssaid he would be more aggressive.

Everytime tmac drove to the basket the amount of positive reactions from rockets fans was far more than it should have been, we set the bar low for him.

In terms of style of play, Harden plays more like Drexler. A fearless guy attacking the rim.

 

Mcgrady at his prime is better than the current Harden no question. For all yo thinks Harden is better than prime Mcgrady probably were born in 90s. Mcgrady's weakness was his own mental toughness, which Harden seems to be better at. Harden has the potental to pass prime Mcgrady, but not yet.

 

Nobody gives a crap about a prime stretch that lasted one year and was to nobody's benefit.

 

It was actually about 2-3 years where the guy was legit offensive threat at uber efficiency but declined rapidly ever since he came to the rockets.
