    Hard to say he is anything worse than two.

    He has been MVP or runner up MVP in 3 of the last 4 seasons.

    The majority of NBA fans are dumbasses who only watch highlights outside their own team and parrot what media heads say. Seriously, who gives a damn what the majority of NBA fans think?

    With a 21 year old Kevin Durant and a 21 year old Russell Westbrook.

    I'd say he's #3 this year. LeBron and Durant are ahead of him.

    Majority doesn't imply accuracy or intelligence. I will keep doing me while you will probably keep doing stupid.

    I think you mistakenly entered the rockets fan forum instead of the Golden state Warriors the bandwagon fans site where you belong.

    Only because they won something.

    Harden goes up with the ship no doubt.

    You talking about Durant? He and LeBron are a tier above everyone else, it's been like that for several years now. You could argue Harden is next in line behind them though.

    Yep. Durant can dominate on anyteam no doubt. But Harden wants to do it at a higher level with more pressure.

    People talk about James choking in certain games, but he works on it and he's improving yearly by showing up more playoff games than not.

    Durant who after being up 3-1 in the WCFs was swept 3-0 then bandwagonned with a 73 win team then won less games

    because he "can't win with those cats?" WB, Adams, Ibaka, Donovan

    he's not even the best player on GSW

    if GSW had Harden in 17 instead of Durant you don't think GSW are still champs?

    Howbout the rockets? you think they would have won more than 55 games?

    No, I don't think Harden is the best player in the league; I would put him in the top ten of current players. I actually think Kawhi Leonard is better. Harden is kind of a "gimmick" player who depends a lot on deceptive motion. He is not really a consistently good shooter. He is a terrible defender. He is yet to prove that he can win much less dominate a critical playoff series. Curry is clearly the most overrated player in the league. I think Thompson is actually better than Curry. IMO, Kevin "the jerk" Durant is the best all-around player in the league. He is essentially a seven-foot guard.

    it seems like your analysis is based more on who looks the part. It seems like you look more for who is a physical freak of super athletic rather than trusting the numbers of a players basketball production.

    It is absolutely ridiculous to say that thompson is better than curry. Guys like Harden and Curry aren't super athletic of physical freaks but they just understand the game so well and produce.
