Disgusting

Or 3x All NBA Defense team

 

[QU!K]

Why are there black and white rules to this, that’s not how it works

Kawhi has nothing to do with this

At the end of the day, accolades matter. It’s how you separate the all-time greats.

 

[HOU$TON]

His carry job in '08-09 when he won the scoring title and turned around the worst record in the league the year before into the 5th seed after coming back from that career threatening injury was MVP worthy.

Harden never carried a team like that, even the MVP year those Rockets who finished with the best record in the league were vastly superior to that Heat team.

Did 18/19 not happen? Harden dragged that team while cp3, Gordon, and Clint were injured all through the season.

Then in the playoffs he averaged 35/7/6 vs Golden state on 59%TS

 

[WASHED KING]

Bump it let’s burn the thread down. All Time SG list time. Including chips.

1. Kobe
2. Jordan
3. Wade
4. AI
5. Harden.

All time SG list as individual players.

1. Jordan
2. Kobe
3. Harden
4. AI
5. Wade.

Part of winning basketball is the ability to lead teams. Wade is a much better leader of men than Harden. He inspires teammates with his style of play and top tier defense.

There’s a difference between how good someone is and how sustainable it is they play that way + how much a team can rely on them to be HIM.

It’s why Kobe is so highly ranked. It’s not that he’s necessarily better than Wade when comparing their absolute best days but rather than over the course of a few years you’ll get more out of Kobe than out of Wade. Hardens defense is trash though so to put him in the convo with a Wade is nonsense. Uninspiring on that end.

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I've seen a lotta things in my day but I never thought I'd see yall get Teagued

 

[B Sox]

Jim just doesn't have the playoff resume that Wade does so it's tough to make the argument for him at the end of the day.

However, you could basically put anyone around him for like an 8 year stretch and he's going to win you a lot of regular season games. Not a lot of guys can do that. Shouldn't just be written off.

 

[WASHED KING]

1 on 1 Harden winning.

Hardens most likely done due to reputation and not actual output.

Wade last 3 all star appearances (not counting that honorary bs)
19/5/5
22/5/4
19/5/4

Harden was at 21/11/6 this season and didn’t make it. The bias against harden is unreal.

Did the playoff bias hold up this year?


I’m talking the lemon booty part

 

[WASHED KING]

RING CULTURE

 

[QU!K]

Lebron lead Wade to the majority of his rings.

Those were Lebron’s teams

His words not mine.

Wade admits he took a step back so LeBron could lead Heat

It was always the question that ultimately needed to be answered in Miami — whose team is the Heat?

Facts.

Also Wade was terrible in the 2014 Finals.

Hey it’s a lot of big light frauds out here.

Harden folded yes. I’ll also say that he won Philly 2 games and the MVP of the league couldn’t close out at home.

Yes they do, just like all defensive teams etc as well as your sample size in the playoffs

Isn’t just one defining accolade or factor

 

[HOU$TON]

Prime d Wade at 26 years old played 51 games and went 10-41. Harden would never.

 

[Moheezy]

Another important question:

Way of Wades Vs Hardens

It's a tough one.

 

[amitt5504]

Hey it’s a lot of big light frauds out here.

And my team got multiple

Ain’t that some **** lol
