Having a debate where im on the side of the argument saying that Jimmy butler is a better playoff player than harden.
Jimmy career playoff stats
-
21 ppg
-
6rbs
-
4.6 assists
-
Lead team to finals as a main option twice, once as an 8 seed
Harden playoff career stats
- 22.7 ppg
- 5.5 rbs
- 6 assists
- notorious for choking in big games
Ask someone their top 3 guys who show up in the playoffs and Jimmy will be one of them.
If you account for both guy’s primes as both became superstars later than is typically usual then yea he is. Especially when you account for defense.

You are bold debating Jimbo is better than Harden in the playoffs with that.
The argument should be painfully obvious that it’s Butler. Defense matters and Jimmy has better intangibles than Harden. He’s carried a much worse Heat teams to finals than Harden has on some very very good Rocket squads
Here’s a hot take: if Jimmy was the same level of defender as Harden he would still be a better playoff player
Yes, but don’t mention Jimmy in the same breathe as Harden all time
