@@Capb25 Ironically, this is cap. He said Harden iso-ball style he played with while his teammates were injured which led to averaging 40ppg for 2 months could never win in the playoffs. He also said he would pick Harden if he had to build a franchise around one player in the league at that time.
It’s funny how random people think they know better basketball then a guy who plays in NBA at borderline all star level. Plus he makes a very fair points.
I never thought about it but he’s right. Players shoot more 3s but to truly play like Steph players have to completely change their playing styles. Nobody is running as much as Steph. Steph is different.
Steph really got it from Reggie Miller, Ray Allen and Rip Hamilton if you really think about it they ran around a bunch of screens to get their shot off the only person that didn’t shot 3’s was Rip.
Steph needs a team of all-stars to run his style, Harden just needs the right coach to put the ball in his hands. That's why Harden has never missed the playoffs in his career. The young guys don't know what kind of team they're going to get drafted into and they all want to be leaders and earn max contracts.
He respectfully said nobody wanted to play like Steph they wanted to play like Harden because you first have to make sure you can do your part before you can help a team.
If you’ve been watching basketball he’s been cooking wit the clippers while adjusting his game now but definitely at rockets yeah niggas knew that shit won’t gone last to long but it was fun to watch tho ngl
@JoseGonzalez-y9y He was cooking with the Rockets. He won an MVP with the Rockets. Harden is a boss, but he's not winning a championship with the Clippers.
@@dreamtimej definitely not gang 😂😂that’s why we finna see more Pg podcast episodes & harden occasionally doing interviews with certain ppl but at some point u gotta boost your brand being more than a basketball player in our time rn
If Curry changed how teams play and Harden changed how players develop, who would you say left a deeper legacy? Could one exist without the influence of the other?
30 made harden train and develop a style to compete with GS so if it wasn’t for GS ability with the 3 and off ball movement harden wouldn’t have to get in his bag with the step backs, iso, handles as much b 30 won 4 chips during this. Steph’s legacy is undeniable
This has to be the dumbest opinion ever. It is an objective fact that Steph changed the entire league and James Harden was fraudulent and has been his entire career. This guy clearly doesn’t know what “Curry” logo shots from middle schoolers came from. I have clearly seen this impact, jerseys sales, changing the NBA, and go ahead threes. People forget. James Harden didn’t do isolation 3s and became who he was till Steph changed the league and made that a go ahead iso Stephback 3. He wasnt near Steph in 3 volume till Steph changed it. By proxy all harden Stans can do what they do because Harden was influenced by Steph.
Laughable. No one, literally no one, guards Harden the way they do Curry. Curry and Harden shoot a lot of threes but their similarities end there. Curry’s off ball movement vs Harden’s ISO.
@@HypocritesExposd Ok Steph's better than James harden so what? Cam Thomas says Harden was more influential to his generation than Steph. You gonna tell NBA players they ain't allowed to take inspiration from harden now? Cornball
James Harden is easier to replicate. It's just a deep bag with a bunch of stepbacks and an inability to close under pressure. Curry, on the other hand, you can't replicate. It's just not sustainable for anyone. So his take makes 100% sense. Harden's style isn't winning basketball, so he just admitted he'd rather play like someone who never won a chip playing the way he did lol
If Steph was so easily to replicate how is Harden killing that man in every stat you can name and it’s not even close !!Steph just had teams and loaded teams ..Harden killing niggas by himself getting 60pt triple doubles and shit ..Steph ain’t never been on Harden level prime for prime !!
@@Foxx2Trill I said Steph is harder to replicate. Kobe played like Harden with less threes. Kyrie plays like harden but drives better. There’s so many different versions of Harden, it’s just another ISO scorer 😂 There’s no other Steph. Why play harder when you can play smarter. How many chips did Harden win playing that style? It didn’t help his teammates shoot better lmao. They shot as worse as Harden cause he’s a ball hog when it’s clutch time. And how many rings that bring him? BIG 0. Sure, Harden is a killer 1on1, goodluck on the streets my boy. He can win the streetball championship lmao.

Curry doesn't need picks to create shots he does it. Stop discrediting just to try and prove a point. U can't blame warriors style of play on Steph. They pick and role like that when he's not even on the floor if u pay attention @@sinsoreshippromotesconform8218
So yall forgot that Houston Harden team was up 3-1 against the warriors in the western conference finals? And don’t say they’re trash for choking it when the warriors choked the same lead in the finals…
James Harden influenced players. Steph curry influenced organizations. As a whole, the nba Is shooting a ridiculous amount of 3s 1 through second unit and bench
not true but its close, step, kobe, harden and the joker himself most importantly were my drive to getting back in shape and wanting to be positive and an negative free like pre covid, watching those steph, kobe and harden yt montages just hit different
Cam Thomas is good at basketball but you can tell he doesn’t have all the knowledge when it comes to knowing these things Steph impact was far better and greater than harden it’s not even close Harden and Kyrie may have changed the game in terms of skilled and shifty and flashy handles but Steph was took it to another level
Not my personal play but everyone tries to play like harden not Steph nobody wanted to come off off ball screens and shooting 3s everyone wanted to do the step backs and shit like harden
Bro… you don’t understand that they can watch Steph all day everyday and do all his workouts and they’re never ever gonna shoot the ball like him… you can develop yourself into more of a harden type player than curry… curry is truly something we’re never ever seen
harden is a better iso player than steph. steph is a lot of running around screens like jj reddick. harden changed the 1v1 game like kobe and mj changed the fadeaway
Yea u eight cause curry is never on a iso😂 he's guarded straight of the in bound then tripled the moment he passes half-court... Kobe said it the best, harden's game will never lead to winning basketball
@@kenbxnds4823 when people compare kobe to lebron iso, most would rather copy kobe. doesnt mean kobes better than lebron. its just a style that more people prefer
People take this convo the wrong way and it has to had. You can’t duplicate Step and with that being said he didn’t change the game, analytics did. Ask melo, that’s why he had problems staying in the league. More people copy harden and only 1 guy plays like Steph and that’s Trae young. Harden and curry were drafted the same year and both started their 3point attempts increase at the same time. Curry did not come into the league pulling a bunch of 3s or from 30’.
I been saying this for years. These kids play nothing like Steph. Who have you seen playing off effectively and setting screens for others. Steph has a phenomenal handle but these kids over use it and take tough shots… Thats Harden and Dantoni style of play. It’s bad basketball and that’s why it’s no chips. I love Harden but Luka doing the exact same shit and it aint won yet. and it wears the body out. I had to carry offense like that before too and I played defense. I’m 29 and my body suffers for jt now. Left knee aint been right for a minute
These comments are CRAZY! You all have zero listening comprehension skills😂You can take Harden's game and add it to your own bag. You can't do that with Steph. It's impossible for a player to be like Steph so teams geared their rosters and playstyles around matching his and the Dubs 3pt production which is why the 3 is the main shot in basketball and every position 1-5 has to be able to shoot in todays game. That's all Cam Thomas said
What??? This is a joke right? Steph changed the game more than anyone! There's no position-less basketball with even centers having to shoot threes if it weren't for Curry. You can see the stats from year to year, starting I think in 2014 or 15, when Curry was really starting to make a lot of threes. The number of threes attempted around the NBA skyrocketed!
He’s talking more like dribbling footwork etc it’s not winning basketball but I get what he means same way folks mimic Jordan in the 90’s 💯people wanted to play like that the package
I don’t hate any young player growing up watching Harden. We use to watch Kobe/AI/TMac /SteveFrancis and our ppl were tellin us it ain’t the way. Before that it was guys like Dominique Wilkins or even before that Mitch Richmond I heard about him. Every generation got there fav ppl to watch especially when ppl tell em not to.
Hardens success was honestly short lived, bruh hasn’t done shit since the Rockets? the fact that Steph is still climbing speaks volumes. Cam, your generation is dumb as hell.
