Kawhi or Harden?
Discuss.
Harden in the regular season because he's way more durable and doesn't need to load manage. Kawhi in the playoffs because you never know if Harden is gonna have one of his nightmare games.

I'd add that Harden is an exponentially better passer/playmaker. Harden's ceiling is higher but his floor is lower, imo.

What sucks is that he's a really good slasher and I don't know if he's going to be able to do much of that with the injury. However, he's the best passer and shooter on the team. And he's tall. So that should help.
Team just needs to execute better in the 2nd half more than anything though.

Magic did. It’s why he’s top 3 of all time, that finals mvp kinda phony tho. Kareem averaged like 30 sum...and missed all but one game
. But magic man, stepped up...as a PUP!Magic & Kareem. Top 3

C’mon man. I think you’re better than this. These tier conversations aren’t about a damn decade. They’re relative to that moment in the time and how is capable of getting you a championship right now. Those guys are LeBron, Steph and KD.

You kinda do know that Harden will be trash when **** gets rough. Kawhi easily.....
Been a laker fan for well over 20 years and since Bron is a Laker, I'm rocking with him. But this is the kindest way to say someone has lost 6 finals that I've ever seen.
"Only 6 teams have done the impossible: stop lebron in the playoffs."
How to stop LeBron in the playoffs
How do you stop one of the greatest players of all time in the postseason? It's not easy -- and it doesn't last long.

Magic & Kareem. Top 3
Wait if Magic and Kareem are 2 and 3...who is 1?

You think Curry is capable of leading that Warriors team to a championship next year without them making a major move? I dunno.
Think KD has a better chance if he's somewhat similar to the player he was.

If the moment in time is now, steph and KD haven’t played in a year and Lebron is still all-nba 1st team.
If it’s out of active nba players, steph and Kd not active.
If Lebron, KD, & Steph all 1st team next year sure, they’re all same tier for that year
Lebron different tier just based on accomplishments and longevity

Hmmmm you’re right. I’ll reserve his spot until I see the final GSW roster. Thr criteria I laid out gets murky if Jimmy, Tatum or Jokic/Murrary are the best players on a championship team this season
We are not talking about longevity or prior accomplishments
Considering only four teams are left, we are really talking about the 2020-2021 season tbh

Hard to say if they will be tier 1 after a year off and Major injuries.Hmmmm you’re right. I’ll reserve his spot until I see the final GSW roster. Thr criteria I laid out gets murky if Jimmy, Tatum or Jokic/Murrary are the best players on a championship team this season
We are not talking about longevity or prior accomplishments
even Klay, is he a lock for tier 2 or 3 after a year off? Who knows.

You don’t think he’s been the best player for the Celtics in the playoffs?

Firmly believe GS would’ve been no higher than a 6 seed even if Steph was healthy

Curry isn’t on any tier featuring lebron JamesRight now...he’s not “in his own tier”
KD & Steph are right there with him.
It’s been this way for the past couple of years. It’s ok.
From 2014 on...those have been the three guys...with Kawhi at the door.

Why are people posting pictures of Kyrie like he knew better… He was part of the problem. Obviously if a bunch of young kids make it to the Eastern conference finals without Kyrie they’re going to get cocky. Who tf Gonna listen to Kyrie after that

Or at least the first round.
It probably took away from Giannis the joy of actually winning the MVP. It could have been used as a motivator against the Heat.
