Let's hear your thoughts.
Harden for sure.

Agreed; I'm surprised so many people are choosing Harden.

Very good point

Butler has been going nuclear in the past 2 playoffs. He had never even been close to this good before.

Yep, he definitely never came close to this level of play in the Finals or anything.

Stats don't capture the difference. The way Jimmy involves his teammates within the flow of the game and anchors them defensively is beyond anything Harden can do with his stats.

The stupidity of this idiot never ceases to amaze me.
And then you voted for Kobe over Lebron
Anyways...Butler is making a good case against Harden if he wins a title as an 8....I'm not just putting Butler over Russ, Harden....I'm looking at Durant
