    You are obviously a Laker homer and you are calling people in this thread bias.

    Wade is the best SG in the League to be honest. Shoots over 50%, plays elite defense and his movement off the ball is unmatched.

    Harden is right behind Wade though.

    Not saying I disagree with you...

    But having Lebron James and Chris Bosh alongside you makes your job a whole lot easier...

    Having said that, you could make a realistic case for Harden, Wade, or Kobe.

    Could say the same thing for LBJ but no sane human being would argue with him NOT being the best in the World.

    Although having those two definitely benefits him alot of people forget Wade has always shot the ball efficiently.

    He averaged 28 PPG at around 49% before the Big 3

    Harden still has to show he can handle physical defenders. Kobe is still the best.

    Doesnt help when Refs dont call anything when opponents get physical with harden sometimes. Some games this season Harden had iso's didn't pass to an open man and it kills us in the 4th. Harden is still clutch more often then not in the 4th for this season though.

    When refs don't call anything his efficiency is attrocious. With the amount of calls he gets (leads the league in fta and free throws per shot) he should be converting more of his shots.

    He isos far too much and doesn't trust his teammates.ISO ball works when u happen to b Hakeem or mj. Basically a transcendent player.

    And his defense needs some work.

    What happens in the playoffs when he doesn't get. Calls?

    Harden is a big scoring PG, so no, he's not the best SG...he is one of the best PGs though

    So r****ded. Wade and kobe both have rings. That proves they can play under pressure. Anyone remember harden in last years finals? Yeah...Thought so. Plus the defensive presence isn't there like it was for kobe when kobe was his age. Kobe is still significantly better, and wade and harden are very close with wade slightly behind in my opinion.

    [Bleacher] Harden is the best SG in the league.

    Didn't see this posted anywhere.

    The reasons why:

    Bleacher isn't the best source to use. But no he isn't. Wade is better than Harden. Wade is way better defensively it isn't even funny. And I am pretty sure that DRTG is more of a team stat than an individual stat. Wade & harden are both better than Kobe. I agree that Harden is the much better scorer but he is so much worse than Wade defensively that the gap draws much closer. Also Wade has shown that he can carry a team to a tittle as the guy. Harden hasn't....yet. When Harden commits a little bit more on D he will surpass Wade, or when Wade's body wears down.

    Yea I know Bleacher isn't that reliable, but whatever.

    I disagree on Wade, I think if you transpose any SG to the Rockets in place of Harden, the Rockets will have done worse this year.

    It's obviously a little up to opinion here, no way to prove for sure, so any opinion I respect EXCEPT that Kobe is the best currently, or Kobe deserves to be on NBA 1st team or Defensive 1st team.... man but Stern will make those both happen unfortunately.
