Thank you for saving me extra typed words this morning... I also saw Russ Destroy GS by 20+ in the regular season before.... i was told nobody cares about moral victory regular season wins
I was also told shooting the ball a lot because your teammates aren't good scorers, was a bad trait and that it is detrimental to other players because they don't get the ball or gain confidence.... James has shot the rock over 30 times 4/10 of the last games but.... Best offensive player of all time now
I may pull a move out that weirdo who be stalking people's comments & just Hold on to some of these Harden takes until his inevitable 15 pt 3/15 7 turnover game come playoff time... we'll be waiting#windowsclosed
Years?
Folk will say anything to legitimate this narrative of dray being trash. “He cheats therefore he isn’t good.” Nevermind his ability to beat an offensive player to his position most times, defend 1-5, pass in transition/off screens...
A single season yeah but I'm talking about this four year run of Magic Harden.
Cut it out
Again i have got to know how you go to the playoffs (where great players usually play their best).... Put up percentages of 41/31/88 & somehow become the best Iso Scorer over guys like Kareem, Mike, Kobe, Bird, wilt etc etc..
This dude isn't even a top three offensive player in the League Right NOW
The irony is that he has never been a particularly accurate shooter. Curry was always destined for greatness in that category: He’s a career 43.7 percent 3-point shooter who has never shot lower than 41.1 percent from 3 in 10 seasons. Harden is a career 36.6 percent shooter who has never shot higher than 39.0 percent in any of his 10 seasons. What the Rockets figured out is that it didn’t matter. The amount of stress the 3-point shot puts on a defense means that even a player without the same touch as Curry could be just as dominant if he were taking 3s at a high enough rate.

The question that every NBA team should be asking is whether there are any young players out there who could make a Harden-like leap in the years to come. There are a couple of key identifiers: The next Harden should be a bigger guard who has shown the ability to shoot 3s off the dribble, make plays for others, and get to the free throw line. There are 38 players in the league this season who are averaging at least 6.0 3-point attempts per game. Five are under the age of 23, including Devin Booker and Luka Doncic—who are both ahead of where Harden was at a comparable point in his career.
