Every great player has bad games. You can make any player look bad if you ONLY focus on their bad games. There’s lots of money in Harden Hate content. You don’t get to be on these lists if you “don’t show up in the playoffs.”

I’ll take FACTS that don’t fit the narrative for $1,000, Alex.

Media-Driven Confirmation Bia$ is a helluva drug.

Look. Harden is a playoff dropper.

But Kobe is so overrated in the clutch is pisses me off. He was not clutch. He was just a ball hog who disguised him being an asshole and horrible teammate with “mamba mentality”.

Why does he have the most game winners? Because he took the most, by far! He was disgustingly inefficient in the clutch throughout his career, and averages 22 points on dam near sub 50%ts in elimination games. He was CARRIED by Shaq for the first portion of his career, and anyone who says different is looking at his career through rose tinted glasses.

Yes he was good in the late 2000s, and the Pau back2back was good. But people just like to forget that in those 2008 finals, Kobe SHIT the bed. And in 2010? Pau was more clutch than him lol, Kobe was fucking ass in Game 7. (23 points - ⁶⁄₂₄ fg, 0/6 from 3, ¹¹⁄₁₅ FT)

He was also a rapist

Kobe had a broken index finger on his shooting hand in those Finals. You don’t know that, because you were probably too young to watch and only look back at the box score

The appeal of Kobe’s tough shotmaking was that you could reliably get a decent enough percentage despite the bullshit and incredibly tough shots he’d throw up. It’s not like he was every inefficient in his prime, he was always consistently above league average season by season

Always. Not as above league average as other all time scorers but given the era and volume and quality of looks, he was incredible.

If he truly bricked as often and consistently as you say, he’d never sniff All-NBAs, rings, the HOF. He’d be viewed as Antoine Walker

I have no problem with you hating on Kobe because of Colorado but on-the court he’s anywhere from the 8th to 12th greatest player of the thousands who’ve played in the league. He was absurdly good. I think rational fans can admit that the hate for Kobe on the court is just because some fans think he’s better than Jordan or LeBron

Just him in a vacuum, he was an astonishingly great player

You can score 200ppg but if the other team scores 201, you’re still a loser.

This is why LeBron James is a top 1 basketball player of all time

Cry me a liver! He could always put up numbers with his heliocentric game. But the numbers don’t tell you how he shrivels in nut crunch time in a deciding game as he has proved over his 16 years. How good are his numbers in the finals. Never made post OKC. First ballet HOF and also a deciding game dog with fleas.

Both can be true!

Harden joins LeBron as the ONLY 2 players in the Top 10 ALL TIME in both Playoff Scoring & Assists after passing Curry in points
