Harden better RS guy though, but cp3 even in his choking moments was better in the playoffs for me, he was also better in 2018 vs the warriors, harden was ass that series. Both had a lot of playoff lows, but cp3 better highs.

    I dunno about that tbh, but it’s only cause CP3’s peak got cut short.

    New Orleans CP3 before the knee injury was better than Harden IMO, he clearly deserved MVP over Kobe.

    22-11-5 with 3 steals/elite D on 50% shooting. Guy was called Point God for a reason.

        Different era/pace and he wasnt as good defensively as cp was, the two seasons can’t be compared. That being said I still think peak harden is better. His scoring ability during 18 and 19 was on another level that cp could never replicate and he was still an elite playmaker. Cp is the better defender of course but I still feel like hardens scoring ability is more impressive/irreplaceable.

      Cmon man, I understand stat inflation, but even for adjusted stats Harden blew those numbers out the water.

      We’re talking about a guy who was generating 55-60 points a game for his team night in, night out for a multiple year stretch.
