Regarding Harden vs Durant vs LeBron...
Remember, prime Lebron got dissed as an empty stats (triple double) guy who didn't know how to win/wasn't a real "closer", had no post-moves, and hid behind "i made the right play" excuses for passing up clutch shots... prime KD got dissed as passive during crunch time/not an alpha/defers too much (to Russ), mr unreliable, prone for mental mistakes and couldn't pass for shyt out of a double...
In response they both joined teams with a top 5 player and top 15'ish 3rd wheel... the rest is history and no one talks about OKC KD or pre-Heatles Lebron no more.
James Edward Harden got the saaaame setup now. Barring injuries, they should at least be able to pull a Heatles (4 Finals runs) and win half.
