    We need to get a coach that will not let Harden turn into another Steve Francis. Please...

    globetrotters lol fun to watch but won't win you many games, unless you got a player talented like jordan, kobe, lebron.

    i miss 80s and early-mid 90s basketball, those were fun, up and down, pass it around fundamentally sound basketball

    I would not be surprised to see Frances win the poll, but I voted for Harden. Frances was a turnover machine, worse than Harden. I don't know what the stats are, but it seems that way. The classics were the famous "dribble out of bounds off foot" and the "dipsy doodle over the head behind the back lay up for a turnover."

    Franchise was smooth in the iso, aesthetically.

    James, just looks clumsy sometimes.

    It might not be winning basketball but Steve Francis's iso game was sexy. Harden is good too, but he isn't as smooth.

    neither really has good isos but Francis could get the shot he wanted more often than not. James has been better in the clutch though I think?

    James harden by long far. Heck i think steve made it to playoffs once during his tenure here. He also had the Cat and Yao... Harden is a one man show with just decent to average role players around him... I sure hope we get harden some help before he breaks down.
