The biggest knock against Harden is that he DOESN'T try to take over games and force shots (which I think is exactly what make him so much better...
Right, Harden had all the help in the world. When he couldn't carry Dwight's Hakeem-level post moves and a geriatric backup PG past a 69-win...
I think it has more to do with how much of a load he had to carry in Houston than how much he attacks the basket. He was at or very near the top...
No one is doubting his ability to score. But firstly, he was surrounded by All-Stars, which makes an effective ISO like an order of magnitude...
... And also James Harden and a healthy Chris Paul, when Durant doesn't have a 73-win team and Scott Foster on his side. Durant is incredible,...
Durant isn't fake? The guy who pretended to be all humble in OKC and then started created burner social media accounts? So was Jordan, he was...
Yeah, if only he could be as kind and warm and respectful and humble as the other greats the league has had... The Jordans, the Durants, the...
I remember at least one season that they struggled mightily in like the 20 games he missed, and I've also seen how mediocre all those guys were on...
I'm not ignoring anything. I just don't think the Clippers WERE that talented. How much did they ever accomplish with Paul out of the lineup...
I'm not denying David West was a very good player, but he wasn't a legit 2nd man on a championship contender next to anyone but maybe the best 3-5...
See my edit in the post you quoted, but again, this may be a semantic debate. Could younger Bron have led his team past the Suns? Certainly...
I don't think he ever played with ALL that much talent before he came to Houston to play with Harden (where he may have won a couple rings if not...
Define "on his own"? I would argue that neither has Stephen Curry, or a few other people on that list. No Paul is just cuz the dude's old now. No...
Yeah, I was thinking about how competitive those Cavs were, but for one thing, they won one of those games with Kyrie (IIRC, he left the game very...
Well I'm not doubting this LeBron is worse, but I find it unlikely any version of LeBron (or Jordan) could have. They'd have a better shot, but I...
LeBron is obviously on the decline right now, but the timing here is silly. There is probably not a player in history who could have led these...
I love LeBron and wanted to see him win, but I also like this Suns team, so I'm quite torn. I now hope the Suns come out of the West. Either way,...
Firstly, I already said I don't think there is much evidence that the lottery is rigged (though it could be, and anecdotes don't disprove that)....
I agree that Houston is a fairly large market, and that Tilman is a POS owner, but the relative size of the metroplex does not equate directly to...
I don't trust the NBA at all, but I also don't know if there's any meaningful evidence of lottery shadiness. I think officiating is the main...
