Two all time great regular season players known for their playoff shortcomings. Current achievements
Harden: 1x MVP, 10x All Star, 7x All NBA, 3x scoring champ, 2x assist leader
Embiid: 1x MVP, 6x All Star, 5x All NBA, 2x scoring champ, 3x All Defense
Embiid this season is on his way to winning his 3rd scoring title and matching Harden in that department. If he stays healthy he should surpass Harden in all star and all nba selections as well. I think he will be the higher one all time when it’s all said and done even without a ring
Harden’s legacy is gonna be a lot worse than most of /r/NBA thinks if he never manages to win a chip.
Even while he was in his prime analysts and media people didn’t want to put him on their award ballots. If he retires without winning anything it will just be vindication for those guys that he wasn’t a winning player.
