Suggesting Wilt or LeBron is not insulting...suggesting Harden is.

Why did you start the argument then?

It is my opinion that Jordsn is the GOAT. I can back it up with solid reasoning. I'm fine with other arguments but most are pretty weak.

We are talking about scoring here, right?

39 points 16/27 including 6/10 from 3 and 11 assists. Just stop before you make even more of a fool of yourself.

He won't.

_________________

Yeah. Harden 24 points per game scoring avg.

Jordan 30.1 points per game scoring avg.

Jordan 9 seasons avg 30 or more.

Harden 2 seasons at 30 or more.

Are you also willing to argue that Jim Rice and Ryne Sandberg were better than George Herman Ruth?

I didn't start an argument about a dumb idea like the "GOAT". I merely commented on how butthurt Chicagoans get when someone has the temerity to suggest it may not be Michael Jordan.

Like BRick said, if you are going to suggest that, have a solid argument to back it up. There are very, very few guys you can even begin to have this conversation about.

6/10 from 3. That's a mediocre night for Curry.

There are many arguments. As I previously stated, they are pointless.

I guess if you aren't even willing to start making a case for anyone else, then yes pointless is the best word for this.

Ruth radically altered the way the game was played. A better comp for him would be Steph Curry.

Steph Curry has never shot anywhere near 60% from 3 over an entire season. The "best 3 point shooter in history" was at best mediocre given that fact.

Exactly. I have no problem with someone saying Lebron is better. I think they are wrong but that is fine.

But anyone that thinks Harden is better is an absolute idiot.

Great argument. As if Jordan is a comparable shooter to Curry.

As a scorer it may not be. Its worth a discussion albeit a short one. Harden's career avg is nowhere near Jordan's. A better comp for Harden the scorer is probably Kobe Bryant.

_________________

People here were just pointing out about the comparison between Harden and Jordan. You started the argument about the GOAT.

Now you're deflecting. You said 60% is mediocre for Curry. Curry has never shot better than 50% from 3 in any season during his career. Thus he must be a mediocre shooter.

I don’t think Daryl Morey said he is a better player than Jordan.

_________________

Absolutely. Like in the playoffs, where there's a 10.5 pts a game differential between the two. But that's not the interesting stat.

Harden 3pt % in playoffs- .330
Jordan 3pt % in playoffs - .332

No I didn't.

I said 6/10 from 3 isn't even worth mentioning when Curry does it. When "The GOAT" did it he shrugged like it was some superhuman feat and you ate it up.

He is a better 3 pt shooter and traveler.....he is not a better scorer.

This really just sums up the whole topic.

He didn't shrug after his 10th attempt. He shrugged after his 8th attempt and setting the 3 pt record for most 3 pt FGs in a half in the playoffs.

You of all people should know context is important.

I didn't see Klay Thompson shrug when he did it. And he isn't even the best shooter on his own team.

Now you are being presumptuous. I don't think i have ever mentioned it during any discussion that i have ever had about Jordan on here.

As someone earlier noted, it broke the record for 3 pointers in a half at the time. That was worth noting and the fact that he wasn't a 3 point shooter made it even more noteworthy.
