Harden better RS guy though, but cp3 even in his choking moments was better in the playoffs for me, he was also better in 2018 vs the warriors, harden was ass that series. Both had a lot of playoff lows, but cp3 better highs.

    Harden and it’s not that close. One was a great all around player, one was arguably the best scorer the last decade

    Harden is the greatest scorer since the Kobe era.

    I respect CP3 but I can’t downplay but James has done. I always go back and watch Houston highlights.

    He literally is a better, more impacful player but that’s not the casual opinion. His playstyle is just better. Injuries are what held him back.

    And even wth his collaspses he has way better, more significant playoff performances and especially elimination games than Harden.

    He went 14-14 in a closeout game 6, he had 32/9 in a finals game, he had 41/8 in a game 6 WCF, he hit a gamewinner in a game 7. We’ve never seen Harden do shit like that.

    The real smart bball fans know who is better.

      I dunno about that tbh, but it’s only cause CP3’s peak got cut short.

      New Orleans CP3 before the knee injury was better than Harden IMO, he clearly deserved MVP over Kobe.

      22-11-5 with 3 steals/elite D on 50% shooting. Guy was called Point God for a reason.

        Cmon man, I understand stat inflation, but even for adjusted stats Harden blew those numbers out the water.

        We’re talking about a guy who was generating 55-60 points a game for his team night in, night out for a multiple year stretch.
