Who would you ther have at their Peak???

Both Players are INSANE offensive talent at their Best… Melo would have the edge Defensively because of his body and physicality but Harden was a better playmaker.

I also know Melo retired with 0 Rings and Harden is on the same track… both players are SUPER Talented but have been labeled as “lazy” and “selfish”…

Melo faced the LeBron/Dwade dynasty and had to play against Kobe/T-Duncan/KD etc.

Harden had the Warriors/KD/ dynasty and played against Giannis/Jokic/Steph etc.

Question…. Who would you rather pick for 1 game at their prime? Who would rather build your team around ? Who would you rather draft in 2K?

Harden’s Prime was from around ‘15-‘20

Absolute nasty numbers: 2016:29ppg/7.5Ast/6reb -82Games PLAYED!! 2017: 29ppg/11.2Ast(League Leader)/8Reb 2018: 30.4ppg/8.8Ast/5.4Reb - MVP 2019:36ppg/7.5Ast/6.6Reb 2020: 34ppg/7.5Ast/6.6Reb

Melo’s Prime was around ‘09-‘14

2010: 28.2ppg/3.2Ast/6.6Reb 2011:25.6ppg/2.9Ast/7.3Reb 2012:22.6ppg/3.6Ast/6.3Reb 2013:28.7ppg/2.6Ast/6.9Reb 2014: 27.4ppg/3Ast/8Reb

2013 scoring champ 6x All NBA 10x All Star

Me Personally I’m leaning towards J-Harden because the NBA had to chance their rules around him because he was so good at drawing fouls. He is a top 3 guard in my opinion after MJ &Kobe. Melo isn’t a top 3 SF (LeBron/KD/Larry Bird) in my opinion but a better playoff player than No Show Harden.

    Prime Melo today would not be a top 10 player or maybe even not top 15. Prime Harden today would be top 3. Come on its not close
