Lance Stephenson About To Surpass James Harden

[Regular_P]

I think Lance has better upside...What you see now is what your gonna get from Harden

So...how many other players are averaging 24, 6 & 5?

 

[NYC Rebel]

Then that makes your NBA opinions even more laughable

HORRIBLE posting.

HORRIBLE posting.

Calling Lance Stephenson better than James Harden is bannable posting.

 

[Dwight Howard]

These are the same people that said Kawhi Leonard was better than Paul George.

You can't really take these dudes seriously on here.

"these are the same people". you shouldnt use broad phrases like that because Im definetily not one of those people who said that

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

What they believe we'll see in the future.

So based on nothing. Cool.

didn't the thread say "about to surpass"?

Does that mean "already has"?

 

[Eternal Tecate]

When James Harden was in the role Stephenson is in right now he had one of the most efficient seasons of all time

 

[Dwight Howard]

Based on...

you dont become a better defender over-nigh,t for the most part its natural for wings. Paul George, Kobe, Wade, etc. were great perimeter defeders EARLY on in their career. Players that come in playing no D on the perimeter usually leave the game the exact way. And he's showed little offensive growth since he's been in the league. He relies heavily on 3's and slashing. Lance seems to get better offensively every year. I can visually see things he adds to his game each year. Right now, he does everything better than Harden outside of scoring more points. If he scoring 13ppg on 11fga on 47% shooting why is out of the realm of possibility to assume he can be a 22, 7 and 6 dude that provides excellent defense and energy aka better than Harden?

When Stephenson signs somewhere else in free agency and puts up those numbers next season, you can up this thread and laugh at me. Until then, it's ridiculous to say a guy's "about to surpass" James Harden when he's averaging double digit scoring for the first time in his four year career and he's one year younger than Harden.

Dog....."about to" equals "Not yet."

what part about that do you not get?

but did he create for others, rebound, or play defense like Lance?

 

[Snitchin Splatter]

I'm a Pacers fan, and I laughed when I read this thread title

He in fact, did. His defense has fallen off a cliff since he left OKC though.

You should stop posting on anything that's basketball related. Seriously.

Nothing Stephenson has done suggests he will ever become Harden's equal on a basketball court, let alone better.
