This is absolutely horrid, how can you seriously think Harden is a better player in any sense than the GOAT?
Typing more and more nonsense certainly won’t change anyone’s mind.
Besides the fact that it's simply stating that Harden is a better and more efficient scorer, and not comparing overall greatness (Jordan is easily the better overall player of course - defensively Jordan shits on him).
Once again, just like the Shaq/Embiid discussion about versatility, you twist it up and fail to understand basic statements thinking it's an overall player comparison and you run with that. For the sake of everyone here, please slow down and read and comprehend what is being typed lol.
SCORING
Which as I've already done, and the numbers don't lie, Harden scores more at a MUCH more efficient clip. He can do more, with less. Proven, end of story and I don't need to put further effort into this because I'm not getting any legit counter argument back.

Except the playoffs.
Curry, LeBron and KD are better scorers in this era, Jordan is the best of all time. Kawhi and KD were better scorers than him this playoffs.
As I've said before, Harden has finished as 2nd leading scorer of the playoffs once in his career, Jordan finished as the leading scorer 8 times.
There are no stats that shows Harden is on Jordan's level.
He shoots more threes and free throws, that's all you needed to say, but he's still getting out performed in the scoring department in his own era.
Yes, threes are more valuable than twos, WELCOME to 2019. Free throws are part of the scoring department bud, there's a reason Harden leads ALL GUARDS in the NBA in points per shot (1.48) and the next closest is Curry at 1.40.
That's EXACTLY my point though, Jordan didn't shoot many threes in comparison. He relied on twos, which is great but they aren't going to get you the sort of production that Harden gets by shooting from everywhere AND still leading the NBA in threes.
I don't think you understand how incredible it is that a guy who LEADS the NBA in 3pt attempts, is 2nd in 3pt FG made, ALSO leads the league in free throws attempted and free throws made. Harden is a wizard on offense, his ability to score literally from ANYWHERE and not just rely on 2's.
36.1 PPG on 1.48 PPS is just ridiculous. It equals Curry's ridiculous 2015-16 MVP season when he averaged 30 PPG with absurd shooting numbers and averaged 1.48 PPS as well.
