TS% is probably Hardens best statistic as it takes into account 3s, FTs, FT %. Do defense next
He fails the eye test, Been bad in the playoffs when it counts

Harden is basically the basketball version of Philip Rivers. Great stats can win you regular season games, but ultimately not a guy you can win with because of his constant choking in pivotal moments.

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, just buckets
If Steph’s defensive deficits are ignored we have to ignore Hardens too.

at compete for the starting PG, what a fall off.

Speak for yourself, I've never ignored that because I actually acknowledge and respect how important both ends are
If we're going there though, Steph has always lowkey been a better defender than Beard...

They didn't trade him before but they're definitely trading him now

Wade better but how many times has hardens defense been the reason why he couldn’t get over the hump? It’s always been about him wetting the bed on offense.
- 146,291
- 177,725
All the more reason any case over him is as solid as wet toilet paper though
Nothing wrong with preferring someone's game more though, that's different than arguing that they're a better player overall and everything that it entails though

Same people saying Wade is better than Harden were saying Harden > Kobe.
Very interesting.
Very interesting.

That doesn’t help his case in the least since his offense is supposed to be his selling point

I’m not helping his case, Wade better. Bringing up individual defense is moot.
Individual defense can be overrated.

Now playoffs don’t count when comparing stars how convenient Again this should be no contest. Wade has won 3 rings as a top guy. Harden consistently chokes in the playoffs

Entire playoff series schemes have been to go at him. He’s held up enough to be at least average and win championships with teams targeting him

Harden doesn’t get hunted on defence tho…

Single handedly winning a team a ring automatically puts him above anyway

Not arguing that at all.

Same people would've probably said Wade > Kobe too then
Very interesting my ***, @me next time

As we know TS% can be misleading.
In the playoffs
DWade 47 fg% 34 3pt% 78ft%
Harden 42% fg% 34pt% 87ft%
Huge difference in FG%. Now Harden is the better shooter yet they shoot the same 3% in the playoffs. The only thing Harden does good in the playoffs is shoot FT's. Add the fact that Wade was real good defender while Harden is a negative on defense.

Not just you tho.
So you’re saying Wade > Kobe?
This needs to go down in writing.

Overrated, at times yes. Moot? That’s a stretch
But if we’re saying regular season stuff can be overrated then sure you can include defense
