Yeah Westbrook for sure. However if he doesn't miss another game, he'll only have played 67 games. That'd be the fewest games an MVP has played since Bill Walton won it.Laley23;1707760 wrote:Westbrook has crept into the discussion, IMO.
In the end, I think it comes down to LBJ and Curry.

Steph Curry is far from carrying that team.sleeper;1707836 wrote:Curry > Harden
This isn't even a debate. Harden has never put a team on his back and carried them to the #1 spot.
Really besides Klay there's no one else worth a damn on that team. Harden is putting his team on his back to carry them to the #3 spot in the West with a 2nd round at best playoff victory; Curry is putting his team on his back while leading them to the #1 spot in the West with an at worst NBA finals appearance.robj55;1707858 wrote:Steph Curry is far from carrying that team.
I think Curry and Harden have similar roles regardless of position labels. On offense, the ball is in both of theirs hands a whole lot more than the other guards on the team. Their states are really similiar honestly, Harden scores more, rebounds better, and gets to the free throw line more than 2x as often as curry. I'm a huge fan of guys that put the other team in foul trouble. As great as Steph is at shooting 3's, his 3PM % is only 1% better than James HardenCommander of Awesome;1707823 wrote:Disagree with you regarding switching teams.

LOL, now thats something thats laughable. Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Andrew Igodoula, Bogut, David Lee and even Maurice Speights are all very important to that team.sleeper;1707862 wrote:Really besides Klay there's no one else worth a damn on that team.
Yeah Draymond's not worth a damn...sleeper;1707862 wrote:Really besides Klay there's no one else worth a damn on that team.
There are plenty of talented players on that GSW team.sleeper;1707862 wrote:Really besides Klay there's no one else worth a damn on that team.

The comparison is laughable. Curry > Harden

Rose is FREAK athlete, just like Courtney Brown, Lavar Arrington, Bo Jackson, Clowney, etc.. that just don't seem able to stay healthy. Never vetted my theory, but I've always thought at some point the human body can only take so big/strong/fast before it breaks down. There are obv exceptions.HighRoller74;1708010 wrote:Just like Grant Hill, Penny, and Gilbert Arenas.
Just something with their bodies where either they don't heal right or something.
LOL. Bogut? Perpetually injured. Lee? Old man winter. Igodula? This isn't 2005.gport_tennis;1707897 wrote:LOL, now thats something thats laughable. Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Andrew Igodoula, Bogut, David Lee and even Maurice Speights are all very important to that team.
