Both are great players but Mike D Antoni system was all offensive it just enhanced their number. Top 15 playmakers both of em maybe even 10, if Steve nash didn’t have 2 mvps he wouldn’t been a top 75 player. Harden just not the 1 on a championship team and he just bounce whenever he feels like it. Defensively they got cooked Harden was better than Nash on that end tho he was bigger to be fair
Who the hell overrates James Harden? Other than Rockets fans, everybody constantly shits on the guy. They call him a playoff choker, meme his defense, say he only had success because of flopping, FTs or the system, question his character and conditioning, etc. Not to mention, he’s been snubbed for accolades he argualy deserved (All-NBA, All-Star) multiple times so even coaches and media don’t seem to think that highly of him.
I’m not even trying to defend Harden or claiming the criticism is completely unwarranted. I’m just legit wondering where are this conversations where James Harden is overrated even happening, I sure as hell haven’t seen them.
