The thing is whatever changes they make applies to everyone. And harden is the strongest of them. The league will protect soft p*****s like steph and kd
James Harden over the summer: "Damn, I actually won the MVP award. Hmm... Now what can I do to get even better?"
Yes and injuries. If it wasn’t for harden this team would be lucky to win 5 games with the trash he is playing with and injuries.
He needs to average almost 40.1 points per game (in the 35 remaining games) till the end of the season to have a 3000 point season, with the average of 35.3 he can pass 05-06 Kobe who had 2832 points in that season.
He is in another planet than all those guys. It’s Michael and Wilt level. I don’t think any of those players besides Lebron could do this on a team like this.
lol even when its a compliment they ll do anything possible to put harden down last week it was hes finally reached that top 5 anthony davis level( and harden was always a better player and it wasnt even close)
At this point, is there even any doubt? Harden has scored over 1,000 pts in the past 25 games. That's averaging over 40 pts a game. I don't think anyone has done that other than Wilt. When you have legit comparisons with Wilt, especially in this day and age, you are ballin' at historical levels. Consider that ANY 40 pt game is a huge game in today's NBA. AVERAGING that for extended period is simply incredible.
He basically leap frogged Dwyane Wade and probably went past Jerry West during this run to be the 3rd best SG All-Time behind MJ and Kobe. When Harden wins his 1st championship I will put him right behind MJ.
Well he’s never done it since he’s been on super teams and never will at this age but he’s the only one that could possibly match Harden’s effienciency with fouls and paint buckets but not the three pointer. Without having the 3 pointer, it is difficult to match the energy that would be required In terms of matching effienciny, KD, Russ, and Kobe aren’t at that level or have that mindset about having an effiencient game.
6 of the guys getting heavy minutes are on minimum contracts. So the only 2 players not making the minimum in the rotation is Gordon and PJ. Nene Faried Rivers Clark Ennis Green I'm probably missing someone.
