I'll give Harden credit as far as I don't think I've ever seen somebody be so masterful at lulling his guy to sleep, and he kinda revolutionized the 1/5 pick and roll because he could use different options. The lob if the big comes as a help defender, the kick out if a guy leaves a shooter, and the step back if he created ample space, also used the floater.

His flopping really undercut how much of a PnR maestro he was. Super saiyan blue Steve Nash, who could unlock the best out of your big; be it Capella, Embiid, or Zubac.

His brief Brooklyn version (pre-hammy) in which he abandoned the flopping and was just facilitating 1st, scoring 2nd was his final form.

But again, he got fat out of spite to Houston and blew his hammy out with BK in what likely was a title run.

Well, Chris Paul revolutionized the 1/5 pick and roll way before Harden did. So there's that
