    neither AD nor Hindi were at all alike to JEHj. AD was excellent and best on a losing squad; Hondo was non-stop motion. Silent assassin.

    I really can’t come up with an 80s James. Also, very different game. Heda killed then as he kills today.

    But realistically, Harden could be a very good post player. He's already a swiss army knife of offensive moves, why not add a post-up game?

    He has to practice the one legged step back. He got no time for post moves.

    Assuming the 3 pointer wouldn't be a big thing, I bet he'd play more like Magic Johnson than anyone else.

    Harden wouldn't play like he does now in the 80's

    AD is one of the greatest post up players in the history of the game. Most NBA players today wish they could post up like AD
