@Hogannjon@AlSacco49 Jimmy G during his prime of SF averaged 2800 yds a season w 19 TDs to 9 INTs with 1250 air yards with a 99 passer rating. Brock has averaged 27 TDs to 11 picks on 3400 yards a season with 1920 air yards with a 103 passer rating. Brock’s been significantly better
@calzeex@talkToEm_b@AidanLaPorta69 Russ avg 3 more boards less asts & 3 more ppg on worse shooting around a 55 TS% to Harden’s 61 TS%. Harden lead the NBA WS.. after Harden doesn’t win MVP in 2014-15 bc of team record for it to not matter when his stats are similar & significantly more efficient on a better team
@AidanLaPorta69 Harden had better numbers than the winning MVP, while leading the NBA in win shares that year, the next year, 2014-15, and 2016-17. If we’re being objective and media narratives didn’t exist he’d be at the minimum a 4x MVP (Giannis’ first one could have an argument).. but prob 5x
@onlyjp8h@sefferson23@GuruLakers Um.. pretty sure Russ doesn’t have a ring because he’s been one of the least efficient superstars in the postseason in our lifetime
The bit is so hilarious and disingenuous that you can’t help but laugh.. he has to put “finish as top 2” because if he actually lists the last American to win MVP it’s James Harden😂
It’s not only been 8 straight years of an international MVP, but also 6 straight years of international players finishing 1st & 2nd, and 5 straight years of international players finishing 1st, 2nd & 3rd!
The last American to finish in the top 2 of MVP voting? LeBron in 2020.
Prime Harden playoff stats (2015-2021 round 1)
2015: 28.6 on +9.3
2016: 28.2 on +4
2017: 31.6 on +4.6
2018: 31.8 on +0.0
2019: 32.7 on +2.4
2020: 31.2 on +8.4
2021: 29.7 on +18.4
Not bad for a playoff dropper (credit @automaticnba)
@KalboV21@SleeperHeat Harden played with 2 all-stars throughout his entire prime btw, both of which were out of their individual primes. Wade had the second-best player ever at his peak😂
@juss1700@danhurleyuconn@realapp If a team is 12-2 against everyone that isn’t James Harden, including 4-0 against LeBron, and while not playing good that only further shows how impressive it is for Harden to have won 3 games against them especially given his supporting cast
