    Look man, just speak in facts. If your first argument is a hypothetical situation that is not going to happen, you need to either reconsider your opinion or reconsider your argument for that opinion.

    I could list a long list of arguments for Lebron based on facts.

    Look at what happened to the Cavs when LBJ left.

    Look at what happened in Miami when LBJ left.

    Look at what happened to the Cavs when LBJ came back.

    ahhh I see your mistake. Its easy to think Harden is better but the fact is not many people zero in on Harden's deficiencies as compared to Lebron. With greatness comes alot of responsibility. Im watching the show the starters and they are giving constructive criticism of Lebron. Isoball, not teamball and settled for jumpers. If I day this on here Im considered the worst poster on clutchfans. The fact is the media doesn't think Houston is relevant enough of their attention

    Exactly. I could then see the argument, but Love, Irving. Blah blah blah. Man, Love AND Irving were both bottom five teams. JR Smith and Shump were scrubs on one of the worst teams in history. There is some magic that happens when Lebron is on your team. The moment a person starts to look at things Lebron doesn't do or starts to fall in love with something an inferior player does, they are really limiting themselves from really watching one of the greatest players of all time.

    LeBron gets the edge because of defense, height, and championship experience

    Lebron is still better in the playoffs than Harden.... until Harden steps up big time....

    Being better in regular season is one thing but turning up the heat in postseason is more important

    Game 6 against the Clippers.... Harden on the bench much of the 4th quarter....

    Bench players get us back into the game and the series, historical comeback

    Example tonight, ****ing harden dominates when he wants other times has ADHD.... Don't get me wrong I love Harden, but I want him to own the Warriors and the NBA like I know he can.

    I would honestly take Steph and Harden over Lebron this season. Its not even close imo. They both have less talented teams, are winning more, and have done it all season long.

    Maybe you could argue Lebron is the best overall, but no way this season

    How does the runner-up to the MVP not get voted in unanimously, while LeBron who finished 3rd, gets unanimously voted in?

    Makes zero sense.

    Because 3rd in MVP voting != 3rd at his position.
    Also Harden has a lot of haters.

    I agree that Harden and Curry had a better season. That does not make them better players than LeBron.

    LeBron is getting old. Maybe in a couple of years, someone will surpass him. But for now, I don't think any GM wouldn't trade any of his player for LeBron.

    I would even argue that a healthy Durant would probably still be better than Harden and Curry. But it is debatable. LeBron? not close, not yet.

    The regular season does not matter that much. One of Harden or Curry will be eliminated.

    Then there is Lebron vs Curry or Harden. At the end the Finals MVP determines it.
