How much better is James Harden than peak Kobe Bryant?

[34-24 Footwork]

Higher Assists =/= Better Passer. Westbrook is not a better passer than CP3 for example, there's a cutoff point.

Exactly...


I'm trying to think of a legit BETTER passer than Kobe at the 2 position.

MJ is p comparable, but Kobe's assist totals and actual ability is at the top.

Harden can pass like a point. Not just the highlights and dumpoffs. Hes a pretty clean passer. Real nice in the pick and roll. Hes a bitch and all that....but I cant in all honestly say he doesnt have nasty handles and really good passing. He had that even before he started playing like a disgrace.

Harden and Manu are both pretty easy to think of. Manu especially.

Kobe was no better a passer than a lot of 2s we dont care about. Brent Barry could pass like Kobe. Wade too. Wade was nice.

harden is individually better in all aspects than kobe. cold hard facts.

James Harden is a bitch and a choker. If he wasn't they'd be in the finals. Gottem.

When comparing the best players u don't only look at their skill sets. U look at their mental make up. It Harden was a killer like kobe was, he might actually be a comparable player. That's real shit. But he's not. Thus he goes home early every year after putting up great stats in rs. And let's not act like his team isn't talented enough.

Kobe today would be averaging 45pts per game with ease.

Kids these days.

Harden does nothing better than Kobe. If you play Kobe with the same rules the same way Harden is played he'd body the league on Wilt-like proportions.

Thread backfire for OP.

You can't even put Harden in the same tier as Kobe. Yeah, I said it. Screw advanced analytics. I use my eyes. Harden has no triple threat game, no mid-range game, no post game. His offense is limited. Kobe had the full arsenal. And I don't even like Kobe. But he just had way more in his tool box than that flopper.

harden is trash I'd take kobe any day.


better offense player and obviously a better defender.
