NBA: The shooting guard position..

[Baseline]

K. Bryant issued in the concept of an overrated, inefficient SG. If you look at a guy like Iceman, or his contemporary David Thompson, they both shot 50% from the field, and got to the line a ton. So did Jordan, and Jordan could also make plays for others to a greater degree than Gervin and Thompson, who were simply guys who could get a bucket at will. Bryant has always been terribly inefficient (124th on the all-time career True Shooting Percentage list), despite playing with dominant bigs (Shaquille, Pau, and to a lesser extent, Bynum) for most of his career. Harden's TSP is extremely high, and he's also able to create for others far better than Bryant. Hopefully Harden will begin a new wave of SGs that will play the game the right way, not the K. Bryant way.

one of the worst defensive players in the league..

Idk but after watching this Rockets game I'd say Harden's defense is downright awful. Dude just looks lazy on D, like he couldn't care less to play any. I think he could be decent if he put forth an effort.

you are on crack. look at the video evidence, Harden is a BEAST on defense

SF is stacked tbh

i think this is a big reason why. the SF position is more stacked than ever, and many of them play styles similar to SGs.

i've never watched harden closely enough to notice how bad his d is before but holy that video jeebus posted
