    Mainly shooting because MJ was not born or did not live in an era full of deep range shooters.

    If you play 1 on 1, it's streetball rules.....pickup game rules which aint many.

    Fouling would be lenient.

    Damn, without any elite athleticism and just skills, Harden would be toast. He would try to shoot contested 3s all day. Or pumpfake all day.

    So is your attack directed towards @vlaurelio and others of the same mindset? o_O

    In that game 6 Jordan had the following:

    24 points
    7 assists
    9 rebounds
    4 steals
    4 block shots

    In the six game series he averaged 31 points (186 pts).
    They lost game 6 108--102.

    Yep he "disappeared".

    Whereas Harden has NO RINGS and NO MVP's and DISAPPEARED in the finals against the Heat and saying he DISAPPEARED against the Spurs in game 6 would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. HE FLAT OUT QUIT!!!!!!

    These are the type of threads where outside parties witness and come out to the general public and say "Clutchfans is off it's rockers" and the poster @vlaurelio is the poster child for this.

    if he just kept the ball and drained the clock it would of been over but not only he loses the ball, its a live ball TO and the opponents scores on the fastbreak and takes the lead...OMG

    and thats not all (&^%!??) with 6 seconds to go he passes up AN EASY 15-footer (right on the FT line) for the win, making instead a very bad pass (and turns it over) to a scrub teammate for a difficult shot...time and again we witness MJ as a passive unclutch deferring choker

    see 1:36:45

    I am not a Jordan fan and I believe a lot of his accolades were due to the league (and Nike) needing to prop a superhuman athlete to carry the NBA after Bird/Magic retired. (Like he probably got more MVPs than he probably deserved and the league primarily marketed Jordan only as its main star in the 90s) But Harden is no where near Jordan at any age I am sorry.

    Let's see when it is all said and done. We can hope that he will have some rings (with the Rickets!!) eventually.

    well for the sake of discussion lets say harden maybe, just maybe, did quit on his team for a game OK,although any human can have a down game or two, ill give you that, meanwhile Jordan quit on his team TWO FRIGGIN YEARS IN ROW, and its OFFICIAL, there's no speculation if he did it or not...
    here also harden has an advantage over MJ, being stroger and tougher and never missing a game ...this shows us that harden is mentally tougher than Jordan was

    I bet you any money if we headswapped harden and jordan 99% of people would have swapped their favorite player's chioce ..people just fall for guys who make tough face expressions all the time

    its kinda why ppl give westrook mvp vote instead of harden he just plays on frenetic pace all the time, dunks hard and looks annoyed as hell
