Manu was the slasher and Parker the change of pace guy. So your comparison is actually opposite
But if Harden is playing PG then I could see it
They're very similar players if you think about it. You have the slashing score-first point guard who can't really shoot threes and is labeled a hero for trying to win games by himself and then you have this efficient wizard of a left-handed pass-first shooting guard who is efficient, does shoot threes and gets to the foul line a lot and shoots a high percentage.
Anyone else thought of this comparison? It's very accurate.

Frauden wishes he was Manu. And Westbrook is way better than Porker ever was.
As in, won't ever win without an all-time great big man?
Harden ain't got Manu's clutch gene, yeah Manu ed up alot, but that's cause he was never afraid to go at it defensively and offensively.
Another stupid post
Manu was listed at SG and Tony at PG, but that's mainly because of height/weight reasons... we all knew Manu was the real PG and Tony was the 2 guard, most of the time at least.
Will you go emo if "Choke Paul" goes back to the Clippers? I don't think it would be a bad fit, but Beverley is still on the roster so that would be a weird fit on offense and mediocre spacing at best, even though they'd probably hold the opposition to 90 PPG.
I don't see it. Just compare at udes and usage rate.
Manu's " -ups" were always exaggerated by Porker fans needing a scapegoat anyway. His foul on Dirk came during a series where Porker was chucking and bricking like Kobe. And while he was turning it over against the Heat, Porker was getting his swatted by Bosh and disappearing against Mario Chalmers.
I'd laugh my ass off at CP0 if he comes back to be Pat's backup, but it's never going to happen. He's not getting bought out. Even if he did, his ego wouldn't be able to handle being a role player on the team he quit on and talked about.
Westbrook is mostly inflexible, which makes him most unlike Parker or Manu. Plus neither of those two would ever play a style where they approached a 40% usage rate. Manu didn't even do that on Argentina's National Team.
Parker was always a me-first diva like RW. No question.
Maybe get Shaun Livingston instead for the Clippers? I still don't think having PG's who can't shoot 3s alongside Kawhi/George is a smart move.
Also, who in the starting lineup is going to be the primary ballhandler for the Clips at status quo? Beverley isn't good at it, Lou Williams is the best they have but he's a bench microwave guy.
Except Tony has 4 rings. If Tony had Harden, Durant and Ibaka, he'd have another ring.
Hard on is 20 times the player Manu was. Yet manu was better defender and overall leader and clutch. It's like comparing a fire hydrant to a ladder
Chimp is 3 times the player Parker was. Yet Parker has a human brain VS a chimps and was 100 times the leader and champ. It's like comparing a rock to a bolt
Great thread op
If Durant, Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka had more than just 2012 together, they'd have 5 rings+... see, I could play that game too
Shut the up!
Homer response/10
CP and Harden were Parker and Manu. The former very unnecessary in both cases. Fortunately, Manu had TD. Harden only had Capella.
OP with the worst basketball takes ever, tbh...
Let's just help him find a buffet to take his manbeast for under $10.
