I know what you are trying to say, yeah, the Rockets would have won a chip if Chris Paul was healthy..... That shows you that both points are valid, that the Rockets could have won and that Luka is still better than Harden, Chris Paul was better that year in the Playoffs than Harden......or better put, more instrumental and valuable. Both things are true and not mutually exclusive. The end result is the same, Luka has outgrown Harden, that was inevitable because Luka does not party that much and everything other than family comes second to basketball and championships.... Major difference.
Luka spent years being lazy as hell drinking all his sweet teas and being fat. It does look like he has started to care though which is nice. I have no doubt luka will surpass harden historically, and will end up in the top 10. Having a cakewalk to the finals though compared to what harden had to face helps a lot though, idk how you can deny that. The durant warriors beat the mavs in 4-5, while harden took them to 7
Luka also leads in head to head matchup with Harden. Not by much. https://www.landofbasketball.com/games_between/luka_doncic_vs_james_harden.htm https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/luka-doncic-vs-james-harden-head-to-head https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/james-harden-vs-luka-doncic-head-to-head Durant GSW beat Mavs, and Mavs beat Clippers, what is your reasoning......it is a shark eat fish cycle. Lol and you think Harden was not fat? That is the worst argument for Harden. Harden eats while he parties, Luka eats after National Team games with Slovenia and while with teammates.... Which is worse?
If the comparison is harden NOW vs luka, luka is light years better, there’s no debate. Totally agree with you
No he wasnt. Look up some stats for god's sake. Ignorant stuff. Luka was also getting clowned by the literal worst version of the championship Warriors two years ago.
That guy you are responding too hates stats, Luka is just better.. because he just is. Is all he can use as a retort
Would people be saying the same stuff about luka if denver's guys didn't go cold in game 7 and denver rolled dallas? People don't get how much luck there is unless you're by far the best, which is pretty rare outside of the kd warriors
also luka for all his whining and complaining seems to get a much better playoff whistle than james harden or chris paul ever got lol
What is absolutely insane is that the best basketball player in the world AND the best cyclist in the world come from a country that has half the population of Houston. How is that even possible?
You have to ask those obese Houstonians to do more sport......maximize their sport potential. It's not like Luka is in shape either but so skilled.
Harden is skilled too. The difference is, Harden wore fat suits, and Luka is really fat. You can still play when you are fat. You can't play wearing a fat suit.
Dallas has shown more urgency to build around Dirk and now Luka than Houston has in the last 15-17 years. Or better said made mostly the right moves. Give credit where credit is due. Also Kidd has become a better tactician than MDA and Bzdelik.
