Kinda crazy seeing the decline for someone that actually takes care of her skin it seems.

while playing great defense and a better record. So yeah what PG is doing is more impressive than what Harden is doing.

Giannis is attempting less field goals, of course his free throw rate is higher
Free throw rate is ratio of foul shots to field goal attempts
This is just telling me Giannis is more efficient at drawing fouls without being a flopper

So what you're saying is he just fishes for fouls all game?

No.
Like you said Giannis lives in the paint. Bound to get fouled when you're playing aggressive.
Harden on the other hand could be flopping 30 feet from the basket. That's fishing for free throws.

So Harden averages 11 FTA per game while not playing aggressive.
This is some next level insight.

Harden drives per game: 19.2
Giannis drives per game: 12.7

Doesn't play aggressive enough.

If someone were to post maps showing where Giannis draws his fouls vs where Harden draws his fouls...I'd bet my life the maps would look very, different
It'd probably be the difference between a Ben Simmons shot chart and a, anyone who can shoot I guess

You basically made my point with your 2nd sentence. Neither Simmons nor Giannis can shoot, so they have to live in the paint. Why would anyone foul either of them outside of the paint when they aren't a threat to score from out there?
Meanwhile Harden is a 37% 3 pt shooter on extremely high volume. You have to guard him tight out there because he of his perimeter scoring ability. He's bound to draw fouls outside of the paint. And this is on top of him leading the league in drives per game.

I was told this is not impressive and ANYBODY IN THE LEAGUE could do it if given the opportunity

I'm convinced dudes just wanna play dumb about Harden floppin. 
And since People like to rewrite history about these streaks

Don't be disingenous
You know for a fact the reason why Harden is drawing fouls outside of the paint.
I'm sure if someone were to post a map of where the top five scorers are getting fouled Harden will lead everyone in dots outside the paint.
I'd love for the stat guys to make such a map. Who should I tweet to make that map?
Also you guys should stop posting stats without context. Of course Harden would be leading the league in drives. His usage rate is higher than every one else in the nba, by a considerable margin. He has the ball more than everyone else

yeah im kinda confused, harden is really good but obnoxiously flopping is also absolutely apart of his arsenal that he uses often.

More lethal move, Jordan’s fade-away or Harden’s step back?

One not as impressive as the others. And when one of these dudes points went up his %'s went down unlike the others.
Tmac in March 03
36.5 on 48/42/79
And remember Kobe and Tmac was doing this in a different era of defense.
