    I'll take the superior playoff performer, which is Lillard by a landslide

    What exactly has lillard ever won? Put Harden with Nurkic, CJ, Collins and co and the Blazers are in the Western conference finals. No sane GM would trade Harden for Lillard.

    This isn’t true at all. Dame has had a couple moments but overall has been a no show in playoffs

    Not true? Lillard's "few moments" of game winners are better than ANY of Harden’s playoff moments his whole career. Plus the Blazers haven't nearly been as talented as the Rockets

    Harden’s 2018 against GSW, is an infinitely superior accomplishment to anything Lillard has ever achieved against trash first round opponents.

    Put Harden and Dame infront of any GM and I’ll guarantee you they will all take Harden... How is this even a discussion?

    No one mentions Dame as a all time great where as Harden is now considered a top 5 offensive player of all time..

    Stop it child

    based on what, lillard is more flashy but always gets swept in the playoffs. Not to mention a worse defender

    But Lillard doesn't need to dominate the ball all shot clock every possession. He gets his points within the flow better, and is WAY more clutch than Harden. His teams were never as talented, and they were almost never favorites.

    Yeah because Lillard is a better facilitator then Harden ? You do know Hardens overall offensive game blows Lillard out of the water

    You keep repeating things that aren’t true. What team was less talented than the Rockets team in that year?

    Typo and edited.

    You can go year by year and player by player. There wasn’t a year where the Rockets team was clearly more talented, the fact is Harden has done more with less than Dame has.
    Dame has hit 2 clutch shots that somehow overshadow him consistently going out in the first round with tons of talent around him.
