So let me get this straight...

You’re the one that mentioned the eye test. And I said based on that, how anyone comes away with harden being a better player is baffling. Harden abused poor officiating for years to make his above average play seem like MVP level play based on the numbers. It’s interesting(not really) how usage is left out of all of that. harden played hero ball and went to the free throw line at an absurd clip to accentuate his numbers by flopping around into defenders. Like I’ve said before, I don’t blame Harden for that…but it’s a fact
ZL does things on the basketball court that James harden can’t. Can you think of something harden can do on the court that ZL can’t do? I can’t think of one
Like I said to rask…once the team success comes around for ZL, everyone will recognize him as the superstar he is
Many on here(not saying you necessarily) have posted things saying that ZL was nothing more than a 3rd option or a bench scorer, and I’d say it’s fair to say they were incorrect
It’s going to be fun to see him continue to prove people wrong
