Peak Paul vs. Harden

[apalisoc_9]

Who would you pick?

Numbers are probably irrelevent since Harden numbers are purely systematic, but who had the most impact?

CP0 is probably the most impactful PG not named curry in the last 20 years..but neven made the conference finals.

Harden has the Counting stats but was carried by his own teamates in the playoffs.

CP0 was a consensus top 5 player in his peak

Harden often finds his name outside the top 5...but competition is fierce.

Paul, easily, tbh..

Harden is a system player..

Paul, easily, tbh..

Harden is a system player..

He was playing MVP level ball before any system.

[spursistan]

CP3 , easily..

Paul is probably Top 15 all-time regular season player, tbh..his metrics are insanely good and has managed to stay at the very same elite level for too long thatit has made difficult to pinpoint his peak season(s)..

Yeah Paul easily.

But Really not surprised mainstream vanilla fans going for Harden less impactful system stats.

[Leetonidas]

Paul. Harden has a ways to go before surpassing him at this point

[djohn2oo8]

Paul's stats has impacted his team to do what? Lose a 3-1 series lead? :lol

Or to pass to Jannero Pargo for a game winning shot in the playoffs?

Neither. Both are choking losers who are useless for playoff basketball.

[lilbthebasedgod]

I would say its close. Paul is a slightly better defender but both are pretty good for point guards, but harden is a slightly better offensive player. I think I'm leaning harden. Both would be great to have.

Jason Kidd shits on CP0 tbh

[TDMVPDPOY]

remember the season harden was runners up for mvp, during the rs they kept on blowing the whistle for touch fouls every time he drive to the lane...then in the playoffs he was expose once refs stop g iving out those touch fouls

[Spurtacular]

Not too big a fan of either of them. They're both probably a little over-rated, tbh.
