I agree with everything you've said on the video.

The worst argument I've been hearing around these forums is when people try to cheapen Harden's accomplishment by saying that his numbers are inflated because he plays for MDA system. Well Harden's usage rate is only 1.7% higher than last year but he's taking 0.8 shots less than last year, yet he's averaging about the same amount of points and putting up 3.7 assists with 15.3% AST% improvement from last year.

Anyway, I think the discussion has been beaten to death. At this point, I really don't care who wins it.

Which so far is the Rockets. Thanks, Russy!

This year probably isn't going to go down as nicely as 94-95, but I guess that only makes Westbrook "David Robinson 0.4"
Morey 2020.
