What the hell does he do better apart provoking fouls and free throws?
Passing? Not even in the same class as Luka and Luka does it with weaker teammates than Harden.
Scoring? Doncic does it already more efficiently, stats prove it.
Renounding? Again, not even in the same class as Doncic
So for someone who likes Doncic, you surely have a strange way to show it....
You think calling James Harden a better player than Luka Doncic is supposed to be some sort of insult?
Learn to read, man.
It's one thing to say Harden is a better player than Doncic (albeit it's definitely debatable basing on this season so far) but it's quite another to say that EVERYTHING Luka does, Harden does it better.
That's what I was precisely answering but again, if you don't know how to read, I cant do anything for you
Ignoring your rude response, I'll rephrase the question:
You think calling Harden a better scorer, playmaker and rebounder than Doncic as some kind of insult?

The Mavs are a better team than the Celtics and it's all because of Luka. The Celtics become championship contenders with Luka.

Calling harden a better playmaker and rebounder is almost an insult to Luka, yes.
Any problem with that?

Since when is Harden a better rebounder? Playmaker is debatable, rebounding is not..

Re: Luka Doncic is the best player in the nba
It's definitely close, but he is 1st in PER, WS/48 and BPM/VORP as of now, so...in theory, it is simply unimaginable for a 20-yr old to sustain these numbers and average 30/10/10 on 63 TS%, but even if his play only declined by a bit, he would definitely be in contention.
PER is kind of a bull stat, but Doncic is actually having the highest single-season PER of all-time by a pretty significant margin right now.

Re: Luka Doncic is the best player in the nba
He's top 5. He might give Giannis a run in a redraft the league scenario because he's only 20.

Re: Luka Doncic is the best player in the nba
No he's the 2nd best offensive player after harden. He's a bad defender which ruins his case for best player. Bron (for the most part), giannis, kawhi get it done at both ends. That's twice the energy spent, as opposed to luka or harden who conserve their energy on d.
In reference to our title winning year

1. On what metric is Harden better on O than Luka? Luka has a better eFG%, same TS%, better OBPM, better ORtg, and his team is the number one ranked offense.
2. Luka isn't a "bad" defender. He has a 105 DRtg, 2.3 DBPM. Harden, for example, is at 108 DRtg and -.7 DBPM...

Luka is an absolute mythic beast, no doubt, but there's more to being the best in the game than averages.

On pace but way too early young buck.
How about letting Luka do this for 2-3 years and getting into the playoffs and winning at least their division or conference before anointing him the GOAT.
Not Yo Ham Lakers!

Better rebounder? What?
I don't think Harden is a better rebounder, but I couldn't leave it out for the sake of transparency. Not gonna die on that hill

15 games vs Harden since 2015? I have no words. I'm not even gonna engage anymore. Cheers.

I mean I could reverse the same question in regards to scoring and playmaking, but the double standard here is hilarious. Noone bats an eye that Luka is being called better in those two, but you mention rebounding and who it's blasphemy. I'm not even gonna waste my time. Enjoy your 3peats or whatever you're projecting this kid to achieve.

Is defense no longer a part of NBA? Is it now the No-Defense Basketball Association?
