    A lot of voting based on emotion I see.

    Another case of things not even a discussion IRL, but debated on the IC

    Without the injury it woulda been a debate, so w/ the injury its no question: Harden.

    LMAO! IRL people don't even know who Harden is? IRL it's, "who's the best, Kobe, Lebron, or Durant?"

    ...WTF are y'all talking about?

    Also, what do y'all see in Harden? He's simply an iso player who has the green light. No different than Jamal Crawford (Jamal's game is more polished offensively), but with more touches. He struggles on defense most of the time, he lacks a midrange, close shot, post game. He has streetball handles, he makes a lot of dumb passes aka his bball IQ isn't that high, and he relies on bailout calls (dude gets like 11 FTs a game SMH).

    If each position was distributed into tier lists, Harden would be a tier 2 SG AT BEST. He's not noticeably better than washed Wade, Paul George etc. And he certainly doesn't come close to Kobe. NBA 1st team, 27ppg 6apg 6rpg.

    1) If you cant tell the difference between Harden and Crawford, you not bout this life.

    2) WTF is a 'close shot' Lmao Who says that!? Dead giveaway for a non bball playin ass ngga

    3) 11FT a game is not relying on bailouts...it means he's a tough guard (guard as in they cant d him up)

    4) Kobe- 27, 6, and 6, 46%, 45 wins...Harden- 26, 6, and 5, 44%, 45 wins...so actually yes, he does come close to NBA 1st Team Kobe if u wanna pull out numbers

    Aint nobody talking about career, of course Kobe has the better career. This season Harden will have the better year since Kobe is hurt and there's no telling when he's going to play

    Of course I'm not talking about career. James Harden doesn't even rank if we're talking about all-time. I'm talking about who's the better player in recent years all the way to current times.

    Kobe still gets put in the best player in the NBA conversations. Harden's name only gets mentioned as an afterthought. Harden hasn't proved ? . To put him ahead of any established elite player is crazy disrespectful. Harden doesn't even make it in ? ' top 10.

    I respect the opinions and unbiased honesty of Kenny Smith so I'll just drop this here:

    'Oh, anyone but Kobe we'd be saying he's done. An ACL injury at this stag in his career? Forget about it'

    You can take this to mean 'Oh, Kobe;s different. He'll will himself to health (lmao)...OR

    You can take it to mean what I do..that b/c its Kobe, people are illogical in their expectations from a devastating injury. Nggas thinkin he comin back droppin 25 a game still...
