Max Kellerman would choose Luka Doncic over James Harden

The same reason they made a bunch of 18 years dancing on tiktok rich

people are followers they can’t think for theme selves
The ones who don’t think this way make money

it’s never about if they are right or wrong
It’s about them getting their narrative out to the masses

 

Get back to me then.

That 20 something year old could blow out his achilles at anytime, he is not nearly as durable.

Nor does he play very good defense.

 

Just like clock work.

LOL

 

I won't deny stats, nor Doncic's upside. But can he get somewhere first before you just hand him an MVP?

Ah no it's just some crazy narrative machine y'all are part of.

Harden has proven himself in 1 Finals appearance and 2 WCF appearances. It took a ridiculous season, and the Rockets having the best record in the Western Conf for Harden to win that MVP.

 

James Harden plays better defense than Luka - FACTS!

 

The 25 year old, for sure. And durability tends to diminish with age too, so maybe that's not the strongest argument for Harden. But just something to consider, because like I said Harden's durability is one of his most underrated qualities.

 

Slightly better?

He is historically better.

Than any player ever not named Wilt or MJ.

 

I think he has minor injuries, he just played thru them and told PR not to announce.

He can even talk MDA into playing him whenever.

Kobe like. He's been spared from freak incidents though thus far.

If that falls under durability.

His decelaration ability and thicc build help with avoiding that.

"Your best ability is availability"

 

I would say the Spurs team Harden lost to was worse than

His thick build can also increase chances of ligament tears and sprains. There is more stress and strain on those joints.

 

True, when he is past 33 IMO, he has the best equipment and fitness gurus after Lebron.

 

Harden is my favourite player. But at some point the whole he is tired and “carrying the team” gets old. You can’t give that much props to his teammates and then make them seem like nothing to cover for Harden.
You’re still right about Jeff Green though I can’t s**t on him
I did say OKC would win this series and while I was happy to eat crow the first two games I’m going to have to go back to assuming I will be right. This OKC team has all the confidence they need. And a guy like Ben Mclemore is definitely playing how I assume he would play, where as the first two games was not the norm. Maybe it’s not his fault, but I had to assume he wouldn’t be a difference maker in a series like this.

@Os Trigonum @Jontro

Max made the weak minded and easily manipulated majority of Clutchfans think about the Mavericks
When we are playing the Thunder

If Max threw some some kibbles at Clutchfans there would a bunch of puppies howling over it

Hurrrrrrr hurrrrr

 

Kellerman is practicing what they call it recency bias. Luka makes a buzzer-beater and playing good this postseason does not take away from what Harden has been doing for many years already including barely missing any games. Luka will shine but kinda silly to compare.

 

I mean 21 guy already finishing off playoff games against Vegas favorites to win championship. At this point can't blame him.. Harden has better skill and experience but Doncić has that mental x-factor that only few ever possessed and his upside will he stay on this trajectory is basically top 5 ever

 

Luka > Harden and it's not even really that close anymore.

If any of you would rather have Harden than Luka you are delusional.

 

Both are great players, I don't understand how anyone can say it's not "close". Saying it's "not close" is delusional. It's very close, with Harden being the better player.

 

If the Mavs beat the Clippers, no non Rocket fan is going to place Harden above Luka anymore.

 

i'd take luka over steph curry. but as of now he's not better than harden
