Truth or False: James Harden is currently a top 10 player again?

[Big nick]

James has always been a choker was always more worried about partying and strip clubs than his on the court play.

He can't carry a team regularly like he did 3-4 years ago, but I like Philly Harden much better than Brooklyn Harden or Houston Harden. From the games I've seen, he seems to have settled into more of a PG role while deferring somewhat to Embid as the 76ers alpha dog and primary scorer. PG suits him at this point in his career, he's always been a good passer and had great vision and can excel at that role when he doesn't have to always carry the scoring load. His late-career game is definitely more agreeable to me than the "prime" Harden years.

All that said, he's definitely not a top 10 player anymore. Top ten guard...maybe.

He’s actually playing exactly like Brooklyn pre-injury form. The only difference is he’s holding back probably to avoid injury based on the minutes he is having to play. He’s being smart, he was carrying Brooklyn prior to that injury which occurred on contested drives to the rim. Why risk it when refs have made it a point to swallow their whistles with him. I would rank him around the 12-13 mark in terms of “best player”. What he is giving though should rank higher on an MVP debate.

And He now has Embiid who can carry the load . No point going over the top. In Brooklyn Kyrie was a no show and KD was pretty much injured majority of the time and Hardenhad to carry the load

Harden in the last 20 games 21.7 points 12 assists 6 rebounds per game on 48 percent field goal and 40 3pt with the Sixers are 17-3 in the last 20 games. Has the most triples doubles of any player in the eastern conference

Does anybody other than Harden fans have any faith in this guy anymore?

Monumentally talented but his athleticism is gone & his defense has deteriorated from "Ok when he tries" to absolutely abysmal

Sixers should trade him while he still has some value but Morey ...

Just admit you haven’t watched him much this season

He’s had a nice bounceback season, but he’s still not top 20, let alone top 10.

Joker, Luka, Tatum, Embiid, Giannis, KD, AD, Curry, SGA, Mitchell, Ja, Zion, LeBron, Sabonis, Markkanen, Jimmy Buckets, Mitchell, Dame, Bam, Booker, Siakam, Jaylen. That’s 22 guys right there that are ahead of Harden.

He fits in right around Zion and Lebron mark.
