    when he utilized his skills I agree. unfortunately for him, his weakness comes from his mental approach, where he consistently disappears or stops shooting when defensive intensity is ramped up and in big games

    Kobe is as or more unguardable than harden (in terms of sheer skills), but he had a mental issue too where he could be baited into bad and dumb shots really easily

    Luka doesn't seem to have either of those issues, he definitely does not shy away from any kind of defense (unlike harden), and doesn't get baited into stupid shots consistently, as he always is looking for the easiest possible shot when using his footwork and will generally pass out if a clean shot isn't there (unlike Kobe)
    The 2004 Pistons easily baited Kobe into taking bad shots, and Shaq was dominating Big Ben

    Red means removed. They aren't in the playoffs. We can stop considering Lebron James top 10 any day now.
    So.

    The fact Harden cannot perform when the opponent cares to play means he's a fugazi. Harden treats RS games so special because he's playing for Harden, but the playoffs are team events and the series doesn't seem to interest James much.

    WarrorRef the most impactful player?

    I had WR ranked 5th but as far as impact / outcome we'll see how this Finals vs Boston continues.
    Dominant in Game 2.

    Stop it that warriors team was bearable. James Harden and Chris Paul almost did it. That Raptors team in 2019 was deep and talented as . That warriors series goes 6 or 7 if they are fully healthy.
    Game 5 or so vs Houston was the infamous karate chop intentional foul by Warrior defender on Rocket going up for 3 pointer. No call.

    Yes the headlines will read how many treys the Rockets missed, and indeed they sucked.
    Reports won't say how much bull WarriorRef brought.

    2019 you won't ever hear Warriors honks discussing how many minutes Klanus did play.
    And the games they lost with Klanus doing 35+.

    I can never understand how overrated Durant is. He is a fantastic scorer, even historically good, but other than that, no other aspect of his game was outstanding. He has a couple of years of really good advanced stats, but other than those 2 or 3 years, his numbers were rather average for an all-time great. He has been most often compared to Lebron James, which he is clearly inferior to. He is not good in leading his team deep into the playoffs, the two years he won the le his team was far and away the most stacked team in the league, and the entire offence was still revolving around Curry while the defence was around Draymond.

    Not saying that he is not good, but he is not better than Embiid, Curry, Tatum, Jokic, Luka, Giannis, or James. I'd argue that this year, he is no better than Butler or Morant. All time wise, he's somewhere in the 25 to 30 range. I give him credit for building up his reputation into something more than what it was through building up his brand and persona, but when you look at his overall body of work, his best playoff run was likely last year (those GSW runs were a joke as he was routinely single teamed).
    although Durant put Team USA on his backo in Tokyo
