Re: Harden is the best player in the NBA
Harden fans need to realize that Harden is held to an incredibly high standard. He's put in that higher echelon of player where every single game gets picked apart and we're going to look at what iconic moments have you had in the playoffs. I don't remember an "iconic" Harden moment to finish the series, knockout a team, etc.

he's too busy thinking about new ways to fool the referees. When scoring points,instead of drawing fouls, become his primary concern,that's the moment he's finally matured as a player.

His dagger over Kawhi in 2012 at San Antonio sits at the top of his iconic moments. Others include a game winner over the 73 win Warriors and his one-man army performance against the 2015 Warriors sans the last game.
The teams Harden has beaten with Houston have either been outmatched since jump street (resulting in basically sweeps) or were playing on spaghetti legs by the end of the series (2015 Clippers).
He's gotten knocked out the playoffs by a 60-win team every year besides the year Lillard hit the game winner.
It's clear he's not the perfect superstar, but let it be known that Hall of Famers have done worse than Harden in their first five years of being "the man".

Curry didn't during the only win that he shot over the 73 win team. Not really impressive when you note that.
