Didn't Durant make James Harden worse?
When playing with Durant, Harden was a 16 ppg scorer
Just 4 months later Harden drops 40+ in his debut for Houston, and goes on to average 26 a night and became a legit MVP candidate
Why couldn't he flourish under Durant?

Re: Didn't Durant make James Harden worse?
Durant didn't suppress Harden's style of game like Lebron. Harden was still the same player but got more usage in Houston as #1 option.
Bosh under Lebron was shackled into becoming a bail out spot up shooter for Lebron. This year he looks a far more confident player, playing to more of his strengths and obviously flourishing with more usage and allowing to lead the team.
Next.

Re: Didn't Durant make James Harden worse?
nope different story
harden was super young with okc and was just growing as a player, and his breakout season coincided with his departure from okc to houston. he was nothing before durant.
the difference is that bosh was already a star franchise player before lebron, and THEN became a lesser player because of lebron holding him back. and then again went back to being a star franchise player when lebron left
these are different situations, sorry

Change of role, it happens. The same for Bosh. Not sure what's the point everyone argue about.

Re: Didn't Durant make James Harden worse?
Players don't suppress other players. LeBron didn't make Bosh the 3rd option. The Heat coaching staff did. KD didn't make Harden come off the bench. The OKC coaching staff needed him to come off the bench. You idiots give these players wayyyyy too much credit and wayyyyy too much blame.

Durant molded Harden into the player he is now offensively. Scott Brooks limited Hardons role not like Bran limited Boshs. Spo, Bosh and Wade wanted Bosh to do more but they were chained down

I won't lie, I find it really weird that you would compare a situation where Bosh's production got worse every year, to a situation where Harden's production increased every year in OKC
