    This how I feel.

    AD puts up amazing numbers and never has had other real stars next to him... but he has talent and he just doesn’t win and in the past he has been hurt his team has played as well without him.

    I would love him next to Harden but the losing thing is starting to have some traction for me.

    Derrick Rose is VASTLY overrated career wise. It is a joke that he has as many MVP’s as Harden and Durant. He never should have won the MVP to begin with.

    The fact he is ahead of Harden in the All Star game voting is disgusting.

    AD has solid NBA caliber players around him. For as great as you "hear" he is you'd expect atleast a conference finals or 2nd round. Harden at times has done more with less.

    "Teflon" Curry is the apex. The golden child. When he plays well the media is slobbering on him. When he doesn't play well they wonder "is he hurt?"

    I agree that AD deserves to be looked at harder. Stats are there, but team success is not. They have some good players on that team.

    There is a NEW contender for "Teflon" though. Luka Doncic is HARD CHARGING. Were are at a point where Dallas does not win a game, Luka might have luke warm stats but ONE good shot that the media slobbers over. Keep an eye on Teflon Luka.
