The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[trynafeelmink]

Arguing that Harden is on the level of some of the guys he gets put in convo's with is honestly gaslighting at this point.

 

[Moheezy]

Hardens most likely done due to reputation and not actual output.

Wade last 3 all star appearances (not counting that honorary bs)
19/5/5
22/5/4
19/5/4

Harden was at 21/11/6 this season and didn’t make it. The bias against harden is unreal.

Harden definitely was underrated this regular season. An efficient 21/11/6 and leading the league in assists and people were still calling him washed.

Iverson won an MVP and dragged plumbers and electricians to the finals and won a game against one of the most dominant teams ever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[toneboi76]

Joel went lemon booty more than Jimbo did

 

[Moheezy]

Let's put this question out there. if you have a chance to build your team around Harden or Wade, who would you choose?

Think most people in here know what time he’s on during the regular season

That ain’t framing this any differently

 

[amitt5504]

Tell me how someone posted that EXACT tweet just now in my Sixers chat

 

[HOU$TON]

Don’t do this to yourself lol

Aye man I think never missing the playoffs in your career matters too lol

 

[Moheezy]

That ain’t framing this any differently

With the aspiration of winning a chip. I think that's better, right?

 

[HOU$TON]

Do you think harden deserved to be an all star?

 

[lynchpin33]

Wonder if they briefed the non-famous folks in that gathering to not speak to Mike unless he speaks to you. Read that is how those things go when he is involved.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Aye man I think never missing the playoffs in your career matters too lol

This man is one of the goat regular season gamers

I don’t think that can be disputed

Them calls ain’t coming when the calendar turns though amongst other factors that the regular season allows

 

[D StaXX]

Harden may be a better regular season player, but when the lights get bright, we know what time it is.

 

[QU!K]

Westbrook’s MVP should belong to Harden too

 

[HOU$TON]

Harden doesn’t even move like this anymore. That hamstring injury robbed us of an all time playoff run.

28/11/7 on 56/48/91 shooting splits round 1. The narrative would’ve finally changed

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Do you think harden deserved to be an all star?

He brunson and butler (not sure if he just missed games or the heat sucked?) for sure have cases

Brunson over Randle yes
Jimmy over Bam is a wash
Jimbo over Demar prob the only choice you could make

 

[Maximus Meridius]

D Wade at his peak never won MVP just saying.

Rings is a team accomplishment

12 people win rings every year.

Only 1 wins the MVP and Finals MVP

If y’all really want to get spicy throw Kawhi in the mix and rank Wade, Harden, Kawhi

2 fmvps 2 dpoy, 2 franchises.

If Harden played during Bron, Kobe, Dirk, prime Harden wouldn't have a MVP either.

Rings are a team accomplishment and Wade played a lot better for his teams.

Harden ain't built to have a run like Wade did in 06. Harden never overcame any type of advercity in his career. The only thing Harden has over Wade is scoring and he played in a inflated system where he was allowed to not play one side of the ball. Wade is probably the best shot blocking guard ever. He was a beast on defense while putting up 25, 6, 6 in his prime.

Harden.

Harden been demanding trade requests last 5 years and switching teams, has played with multiple all-stars and MVP last year. Has consistently taken a step-back (pun intended) in the playoffs. Has been a negative defensively most of his career..

Great regular season player. Give me the championships over regular season every time.

Harden shooting 42.4% career in playoffs and a minus defensively

For their careers in the playoffs, Wade is at 55%TS and harden is at 59%TS so harden is still more efficient.

 

[rolaholic]

Folks really have a whole blindspot for 50% of the game when it comes to arguing in favor of their favs

The defensive aspect of the game doesn't exist or matter at all seemingly since it's not sexy, just buckets/hooping.

Give me all-around greatness >>>> greatness exclusively on one end any day of the week when starting a team.
