Harden has looked pretty cooked and especially looked atrocious today. Now he could still be ramping up as he claims and getting back to where he was earlier. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle but for the sake of conversation let’s assume this is actually who Harden is now and he isn’t good enough anymore to improve his legacy.
By that basically no more all nba’s, no more all stars, definitely no MVPs and no deep playoff runs (e.g. nothing past the 2nd round but Harden isn’t really known for deep playoff runs anyways so we don’t have to hold our breath for that)
In this hypothetical Harden is cooked and everything that he’s accomplished is in the past, where is he in your all time rankings?
People have Pedo Malone in their top 20 so I don’t see why Harden can’t be around there. He’s basically the Malone of our generational. Legendary regular season player who came up short in the playoffs and would have a ring if it weren’t for the GOAT team peaking at the same time as him.
Personally I have Harden top 25 all time
