James Harden (A+) over Shaq (A-) and Magic Johnson (A)? Are we delusional?
James harden a more productive player. sure magic and shaq played well but you can't build a franchise around those guys. meanwhile James harden is running 40 isos per game at the logo and running through your team like a hot knife thru butter
You can't build a franchise around Shaq (who won 4 rings and 3 Finals MVPs) or Magic (who won 5 rings and 3 Finals MVPs) but you can around James Harden who never even made a finals appearance? Oh my goodness haha
I'd love to double click on that Magic Johnson tier. All the girls in college used to say I had that magic Johnson. don't think that was overrated. additionally, RBC PU&I doesn't even deserve a place on this list. crap group. I'd comp them with LeBron James now, far far past its prime and needed to be disbanded years ago.
Bro just copy and pasted the other tier list and added basketball players categorized incorrectly. Great effort
Haha.
LMAO at Shaq and Magic being below Harden
This guy doesn’t know ball
