    Clyde an it's not even close.

    Harden is more worried about fame, money and hoes.

    You score lots of points under Rick Adelman, look at the Rockets and their double digit averages

    Clyde was a two way player and more athletic. Harden is more efficient on offense and master at getting to the basket. Clyde had way more success in the playoffs and his stats where steady or improved in the playoffs. Same of Harden on the stats in the playoffs but Harden is famous for occasionally disappearing.

    Clyde was clearly the better player in his era than Harden is. Talking about efficiency is pointless because if Clyde played today he would almost certainly be better at shooting FTs and getting to the line and also better at shooting 3s. He got better later in his career as the game moved in that direction.

    I didn't say Harden was they better player. I value two way players as much as I like eating p***y.

    Harden had 5 guys in double figures - mostly because of all the 3's - take those away and it is far less. Drex had SIX guys in double figures. Not only that, he had a better coach in Rick Adelman. MDA has never been to the finals.

    I mean this is ridiculous anyway. Drex wasn't the point guard, he was the scorer. Harden is both the point guard and the scorer.

    I've followed Drex a lot lot longer than you have. I'm not just a Rockets fan I watched Phi Slamma Jamma and followed him while he was in Portland and it always pissed me off that we picked stupid Rodney McCray over Drex. But don't piss on Harden as a player just because he disappointed you in that stinker of a game. His career hasn't played out.
