All that regular season shit is cool but every body knows that legends & legacy is built in the playoffs and when it comes down to that James Harden has neither. He folds in the playoffs like a cheap chair
He averaged 35 against GSW, Iverson averaged less against Lakers in 2001 and gets praised for it
@@ArthPedro The reason why AI gets praised for what he did is bcuz in 2001 AI was a league MVP that year and took a mediocre 76ers team to the finals and won a finals game that nobody thought the 76ers could’ve won if it wasn’t for AI. Don’t never compare AI to Harden bcuz it’s apples and oranges. Good try though
@slicp5913 Y’all folks get an orgasm from players that played in an older era. People got to get out of that nostalgia
@@anthonycelestin3559 I stated nothing but facts. U need to get out of delusional reality state ur in. It’s ok to be a Harden fan boy but the reality is that Harden ain’t cut like that period 🤷🏾♂️👍🏾
@@slicp5913bro you telling me that winning one game off the champs is better than taking the favorites to win every year to 6-7 games in the playoffs makes James worse smh let’s not act like the 2016-17 warriors wouldn’t have molly whooped the o1 lakers smh
I’m sorry but 2006 Kobe was putting up crazy numbers . If you look game by game almost the same minus assist.
Most of Hardens points came from the line because he a was a flop master after they stop giving him all the calls he can’t average 25 to save his life stop the cap pls
They changed the rules in 2021-2022, how times years had gone by. When left Houston he was the 1st option anymore and didn't need to put crazy numbers. Get your facts right.
Awful basketball but goddam special iso
He said the shit James was doing well will never see that again. But last year luka was literally doing all dat shit
This nobody role.player jeff teague is so obsessed with kobe...
He never shows up in the playoff
NOT TRUE.
@@flashexterminating09 so true
First
Type shit
Kobe has a better longevity of scoring and James had a crazy 4 to 6 years. I'm picking Kobe overall. Its not close with those 2.
Lol when you play zero defence. It’s much easier to score. Harden most overrated in history.
Hall of Fame doesn't think so.
Lebron is not a scorer if he was a scorer he would’ve averaged 30+ for his career EASY, it’s just not his mentality I wish it it was tho 40,000 wouldve been 50,000 rn lol
If we bein honest many other superstars could’ve done it. Dame, Steph, KD etc. they would’ve shot better 2. I mean we got Luka doin it better than him at every statistic without bein the entire offensive system. He had a historic run, but let’s not act like he one of the greatest to do it, cuz bro always comes short
dame couldn’t play-make like harden , below average floor general , so was steph and kd
James harden is not abetter scorer than kobe . James harden only shoots 3s and lay ups nothing else
We don’t wanna ever see that again💯😭AAU ball hogging chucking hella shots playing No defense traveling flopping foul hunting naw im good✌🏿him embid and Luka make the game boring always looking for a whistle 💯Dame>harden
