Harden never plays well during all-star game either and we all know why...probably enjoys that weekend a lot.
Imagine what Harden's stats would be if they didn't intentionally take away his point on this "not in shooting motion" bullshet calls that only applies to Harden.
harden has to work himself up to doncic level first before we can even compare him with geanus. davis has shown more than harden till now too. if siakam hadn't gotten hurt, then he's probably a tier above as well. he gotta ring ya know
Asked about the Sixers' poor body language, Brown blamed it on the offensive brilliance of Harden, the NBA scoring leader who was 13-of-24 from the field, 6-of-12 from 3-point range and 12-of-12 on free throws. "Probably they were discouraged," Brown said. "It's hard guarding James Harden. You can ask them about it."
Beard's offensive output at such an absurd efficiency and volume is warping defenses that equals or exceeds Curry's gravity. Beard is the MVP.
I can tell you that those who are ignoring these stats now will be bringing up these same stats in the playoffs when Harden's playoffs stats come down to Earth but still well above average for a player of his caliber, only to say "see how does poorly in the playoffs compared to the regular season". Keep an eye out for those people because they will never learn due to hate feasting their minds.
