With these performances, he becomes just the fourth player ever age 36 or older to record back-to-back 35/5/5 games, joining Stephen Curry, LeBron James (5×), and Kevin Durant (2×) — all active players.

@NaturalBeautyy6most importantly got the win and played elite defense and elite rebounding like he can develop into a top 10 player this year if he keep improving on his rebounding and handles

November 16, 2025 at 9:58 pm
because glazin’ is much easier than studying enough game to know what you’re talking about. none of the sychophants want to talk about how many ghost fouls the refs gifted Harden either; it was ridiculous how many times the playback showed zero or marginal contact, while others (on both teams) were getting slammed with no whistle.

Harden is one of the best offensive players of all time. I’d take him over Jordan offensively tbh
@IlmaliklI
November 16, 2025 at 8:13 pm
that isn’t even a question he’s one of the best passers in league history while splitting hairs with kd & mj in scoring
@BleachBot
November 16, 2025 at 9:39 pm
Harden is my fav player of all time and you are CRAZY. Jordan is far and away the greatest scorer in nba history.
@BleachBot
November 16, 2025 at 9:40 pm
@IlmaliklI Yeah no Harden is better than kd and isn’t close to Jordan, noone is when it comes to scoring. Harden is a way better passer tho
@IlmaliklI
November 16, 2025 at 9:49 pm
@BleachBotyeah that just isn’t true if u take their best years in isolation harden was more efficient on higher volume and while on a shot diet of around 13 step back 3’s a game all with a hand in his face and help defenders standing on boxes and elbows. harden did it against team defenses built to make someone else beat them so it isn’t even close when it comes to degree of difficulty, even matchups wise harden had 10x the competition mj did and played 10x better teams also the main comment says offensively… the gap between harden and mj as a passer is gigantic compared to the gap between mj and harden just scoring wise
@BleachBot
November 16, 2025 at 9:55 pm
@IlmaliklI Half of what you said was complete nonsense. Jordan did literally everything except shoot the 3 ball bettee than harden and he was MUCH better. He shot 50% in the paint and from 2 in the era where defenders primarily focused on containing the 2, they made their entire paychecks containing ths paint and Jordsn embarassed them. Yes the 3pt shot is harder to make and harden is the best iso scorer ever for the 3ball but everywhere jordan is far superior.
Lol mj faced much tougher comp outside of the Warriors and russ/kd okc thunder and even when pippen wasnt there mj almost ALWAYS played well. No matter what the circumstance

people love to talk GOAT, but Harden is still being gifted all the ghost fouls he could ever ask for. the only lesson from this: “don’t breathe too hard on Harden”!
but the last laugh ain’t the Clippers, because none of that gonna fly at crunch time (assuming the Clips can even make .500 and squeeze into the playoffs).
