    The only thing Luka definitively does better is rebound. Before CP3 or WB, Harden was almost averaging a triple double with 30+pts/game, and Luka's D is just as suspect or worse than JH13. This is funny, but I do think Luka has potential to be better in time.

    When Harden lands somewhere else he will be top 3 again

    Luka is a better teammate.

    Dame, Curry and Luka over him?
    Come on, I get it but that’s just dumb.

    Harden probably won't be in Texas for long so it's all good

    Harden is 3rd or 4th at the worst.

    Steph and KD didn't even play last season. Kawhi didn't play half the damn games and really didn't accomplish much at all there. Luka is incredible and certainly has the potential to surpass Harden but the idea that he's already done so is laughable. It's absolutely crazy to put Dame above Harden too. I can't think of a single thing he does better than Harden.

    How many times are you going to fall for ESPN's trolling before you understand they make these rankings ridiculous on purpose to get more engagement. We all know Harden is Top 3, ignore the trolls in the media.

    Now that he is on the market he drops down to 9 to lower his value. Best scorer in basketball with Durant, top 2 or 3 mvp vote getter in 4 of the past 5 years is the ninth ranked player? Lol yeah no.


    Lebron
    KD
    Harden
    Kawhi

    I don't take these lists too seriously, but the way Dame continues to have immunity from any criticism is mind-boggling at this point. Seriously, WHAT has he done??

    He's definitely top 3.... I'd say he's only behind Lebron. There's a reason why the Lakers double-teamed him in the series.

    He's young. Give him a little more time as an NBA superstar.

    How is it that the organization catered to Harden's every single whim and traded people who HELPED THE TEAM but Harden's fragile ego couldn't handle (CP3 cough cough) - and now wants to BAIL on the team that HE HIMSELF created is somehow OK with you?

    How are you fine with that? Don't you want a player who goes..."This is my town, Houston is my team - I am going to lead them to a championship" instead of slinking out like a coward and say...."I want a ring, thanks for screwing up your franchise for years, but I am leaving"....

    How the hell are you ok with that?

    Harden has them all beat if this was a measure of big booty expertise.
