Harden this year is taking the second hardest threes in the league (only behind Luka), making them at an elite rate on high volume, while being arguably the NBA’s best playmaker. All-NBA?
I wasn’t completely sold on harden after coming out off an injury last season but man, hes been really fun to watch this year
People were calling him Fat Ass and Washed
Crazy
High score? Is that good? Did I break it?
Only 1st percentile in 3pt shot quality?
The Sixers 33-11 since Harden came back from injury.
However, knowing the media’s bias, they might say this about Embiid during the final MVP voting “Embiid has a top 10 MVP teammate, so he doesn’t play under as much pressure as Jokic”.
And, when it comes to voting the All-NBA Team, even if there are only two guards (Harden and Doncic) in the MVP ranking top ten now, I think the media may still not vote for Harden, after all, he was even not an All-star, after all, he had failed to be in the All-NBA 3rd Team even he got 29/7/6 in 2015/16.
Media always bias.
But I know he doesn’t care anymore, all he wants now is a championship ring.
Use this algorithm to compare any player with Harden:
If this player has better team record, he’s automatically better regardless of his stats. Example: Jrue Holiday.
If this player has higher ppg, he’s better. Assists per game or shooting efficiency is not in consideration. Example: Ja Morant, Kyrie Irving, Demar DeRozan.
If this player has worse record, worse stats but younger, he is better. Example: Haliburton
So as Philly fans we only care about advanced analytics when it makes our guys look good?
