    Wow, that graph really puts some perspective to what he is doing this season. He is simply amazing.

    A couple of great data points I pulled from this article on TheScore.com on how to defense Harden:

    1. In the 45-year history of Basketball Reference's possession-tracking database, no player has piled up points at the rate Harden has this season.

    2. The Rockets four best offensive players have missed a combined 51 games, yet they still own the ninth-best offensive rating of all time, largely due to Harden's amazing season..

    I kind of hope Harden skips a Hall of Fame speech and just goes to the podium and gives everyone the finger.

    Or he goes up there with bbq chicken in hand, forcing everybody to watch him eat the whole thing before wiping his mouth and hands clean, then walking away silently.

    Harden is in his prime putting all time great numbers. It's a shame that he has to play with a 34 year old, injury prone chris paul. Can't let his prime go to waste.

    Not even Kobe, Durant, Lebron James, Westbrook, Curry has done this in a season. We are talking about BREAKING HISTORY right here!

    I hadn’t listened to Dunc’d on Podcast in like a month...they’re just so boring and monotonous that even tho u can get some good info out of them at times, it had become just way too painful for me to listen to them

    today, they come out with a top 10 player ranking so I decided to give it a listen, and I was reminded of why I always find myself being annoyed with Danny Leroux...this fool had Harden as the 5th best player in the NBA and in tier 2 behind Lebron...his tier 1 consisted of Giannis at #1, then Curry and KD o_O

    I hit unsubscribe so quick...

    Harden is being compared to Wilt, MJ, Kobe, etc on a daily basis while dragging his team to 3rd in the WC after an 11-14 start, but he’s in tier 2 as the 5th best player...man, gtfoh

    I haven’t listened to them in a while too.

    What was their argument?
