    It is interesting how drastically different the perception of Harden and Giannis is this year, efficiency wise. Harden has a higher TS% (mainly because he hits his FTs while Giannis struggles). And while people claim Harden is a gunner who shoots 60 times a game (I've actually seen people tweet this), per 100 possessions he has 37.2 true shot attempts while Giannis has 36 true shot attempts (FGA + fouls drawn that result in a trip to the FT line). Another example where perception doesn't meet reality, when it comes to Harden. I think the number of shots he takes where he is the only person who touches the ball on the possession has something to do with it.
