i fear he has eaten one too many cheesesteaks, lost all his marbles

MJ Career 3PT% at the non-closer length (i.e. excluding 94/95-96/97 when it was closer) - sub 30% (35% playoffs)
Harden - 36.5% (33% playoffs)

MJ Career 2PT% - 51% (50% playoffs)
Harden - 51% (49% playoffs)

So, MJ is obviously the better playoff scorer but Harden is far superior in the regular season, how you balance the two against each other, I'm not sure

lol you're reaching with that arm extending claw right there. no need to try and skew the stats they are what they are. jordan was better in every single one tbqh

Add me on facebook you big galute, I'll show you some pics I took

Yeah except DM is actually arguing this, where as the other is not true at all and just a figment of your imagination
But other than that, yeah much worse.

This is hands down the worst comparison I have ever seen, and that's saying something since we've seen some wild shit on here.

You're comparing Harden, who is statistically the most efficient NBA leading scorer of all time, to two inefficient volume scorers like Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson?

Bruh....

Exactly. We can all post random stats to make an argument work

All time career Playoff TS%



LeBron, Durant and Curry are better scorers than Harden in his own era.

You do realize who you’re talking to, right?

Anything he says should be taken w/ a grain of salt

You're messing with me, right? This is a troll attempt?

Jordan only had a higher raw FG% because he barely took any threes, meanwhile Harden takes 10+ threes per game. Hence why I used a far more accurate stat, which is True Shooting % and eFG% to account for all of this lol.

"In basketball, true shooting percentage is an APBRmetrics statistic that measures a player's efficiency at shooting the ball.[1] It is intended to more accurately calculate a player's shooting than field goal percentage, free throw percentage, and three-point field goal percentage taken individually. Two- and three-point field goals and free throws are all considered in its calculation."

"In basketball, effective field goal percentage (abbreviated eFG%) is a statistic that adjusts field goal percentage to account for the fact that three-point field goals count for three points while field goals only count for two points. [1] Its goal is to show what field goal percentage a two-point shooter would have to shoot at to match the output of a player who also shoots three-pointers."

Check the numbers like I said, Harden beats Jordan (by quite a bit) in both TS% and eFG%. Harden scores just as much, scoring more points per shot, at a higher efficiency, while also distributing the ball better. All facts.


Also, the whole "Jordan played in a defensive minded league" is a fucking joke. The hype about defense back in the day is total BS. Yes, there were some things done differently (some easier and some harder) but to act like Harden couldn't smoke guys back then just like he is now is comical. For one, slow footed big men had a place in the league then. Now, if you don't have incredible foot speed, reaction time and the ability to play above the rim you're probably not going to succeed much unless you're ultra-talented elsewhere as well (i.e. Jokic). Guys adapt, saying Harden wouldn't survive then is like saying Jordan wouldn't survive in todays league because he wasn't a very good outside shooter.

Watch this video (one of the best basketball videos on the internet), or countless other videos. Much like the Jordan brand itself now (which makes people think Jordan is untouchable) the NBA back then wasn't so difficult like people make you to believe...
