nowhere the level of james harden

if james harden took 18 threes and had zero assists, majority of rockets fans would call him selfish lol

If he made 11 of 18 threes in a playoff elimination game, no one would care about his assists.

And he's light years ahead of James on defense.

The only thing he does better harden is shoot and defend better. Harden is better at scoring, getting his teammates involved, passer , playmaker and everything else.

This seems like a weird attempt to start some negative conversation.

he is a glorified rex chapman.. his defense is overrated... everybody lights klay up,.. their defensive rating were very similar this year.. but because klay is light skinned his faults are glossed over, while every little thing harden does is nitpicked... whatever, we all know their is a colorism issue in the league right now

James can defend, he just needs good coaching and buying in the team concept in both offense and defense...
i remind everybody to rewind the series between OKC vs. Lakers in 2012, to see how Harden defended Kobe Bryant, then tell me if Harden can defend...
Klay is not a better individual defender than James Harden, he is a better team defender, it has a lot to with team schemes and buying in...

Haven't heard that name in awhile. I think he's better than you give him credit for. He does guard the opposing team's best perimeter player, allowing Curry's do conserve energy on offense. I think Curry is fortunate to have Klay as his sidekick.

Yes, the guy is a banned returning user. Howard just banned him again. No need to feed the troll.

he is a better defender than harden for sure, but he can't guard harden......lol
