@Thomas Oglesby III sure cuz kyire was given the ball in a offense like Dantoni made Harden stats inflated kyire wouldn’t need 15 free throws a game to average 36 ppg

@Nick Leavitt Kyrie hasn’t done anything in the playoffs in his career outside of Lebron. he not on the same level as Harden as a player and his career doesn’t compare.

Dwight deserves it more than Harden or Lillard.

Lillard has achieved nothing. No mvp no scoring title never lead League in assists no finals appearance no rings. Just a over rated PG with some good playoff series I’ll give him that

Bro as much as I hate harden he is still a top 75 players of all time and in his prime a scorer who can play make. If Russ is top 75 so should harden
Risan

1v1 I would clamp harden and I could score on him easy. He’s not top 75.

Why did you degrade Russ to have to uplift Harden? Russ has done historic things that no other player has. If you wanted to knock a player on the top 75 you should’ve chose Dame.

He has a top 75 resume.
There’s lot of players from the OG top 50 that don’t belong like Earl Monroe, Nate Thurmond, Dave Bing, Dave DeBusschere.

Harden might be top 150

One of the worst takes ever. He’s clearly top 75 🤦♂️, recency bias lmao. You don’t know ball and it shows

Yeah he’s way better than they were and his resume shows it.
Job Acevedo
May 6, 2022 at 12:45 pm
@Jank Foots In today league with today rules I’ll take TMac and Vince over Harden. If you old enough to actually watch them play in there prime I’ll take TMac and Vince.

realistically, alot of the top 50 people should be moved out for the more skilled modern players. But keeping those generations alive in memory is nice, so just take out AD and put in Dwight Howard. AD accomplished nothing except win a ring with LeBron, which could be said for that tattoo Birdman or JR Smith.

Forreal tho… Anthony Davis is not top 75, Dwight Howard got robbed

He “might” be a top 50 player?? I’m sorry but any list with Harden not in the top 30 shouldn’t be taken seriously.

harden should have at least one ring if cp3 didn’t get hurt they lost to the best team ever in basketball

Harden could go scoreless the next 10 playoff games and that wouldn’t change anything….. ESPN YALL can do better this shouldn’t even be a topic

So y’all ask this 4 Harden, but not Lame Lillard or Anthony Street Clothes Davis? Yeah ok.

You are out of your absolute mind if you think Harden is not a top 75 player all time😂😂😂
