With the three step layup the 1st step (zero step) is named as such because at that point you can still dribble and make a play with the ball. Only once you pick it up with both hands is it a dead ball, meaning you have two steps afterwards.

This is a great breakdown as usual and I have to say that I've gained some level of respect for Harden, but I think most fans of any sport will agree that exploiting a game's rulebook does not make the game better for the spectator. Maybe that's too general but what I mean is that I don't know how anybody can watch that arm hook move and not get pissed off. If you're strategy for offense is to try to create fouls out of thin air then the only thing that you are showing people is that there are loopholes that need to be closed. There is such a thing as the spirit of the game, after all. Harden is like that guy in pickup games that challenges absolutely everything the other team does, because they care more about winning than actually playing the game.

Another thing to consider -- Harden's ability to get 16 points per game from isolation speaks to his INTENT to do so. In other words, few other players have the balls to be that selfish, and flaunt it. Once he enters into an iso situation, he sticks with it, wearing his defender down, while the rest of his team kicks back and watches him work. I think that Harden's brilliance at iso scoring has the unintended effect of diminishing his teammates' interest and involvement in the game. And what evidence can I offer? The number of NBA titles he has. What you're missing here is the fact that most everyone besides Harden is playing Basketball, the TEAM game. He is playing Isoball, AKA Heroball. Others, including Ja Morant, Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving are Isoball wizards with no titles. It's not a team-friendly style of play, which is why he has never, and will never win the league. Which is fine by me.

6:45 This stat is not accurate. You posted the highest season FTA averages for MJ and AI, but not for Harden. If you posted Harden's FTA for this season, it'd be tied for the highest ever (11.9). And he's getting to the line that often while taking 5.5 fewer shots per game than MJ did in 86-87. Really, your X-axis makes no sense. Why are you plotting FTA by PPG? You should be plotting FTA by FGA, which would show that Harden is an outlier: he's averaging a record number of free throws per shot attempt. In other words, he is flopping at a historic rate, and getting to the line more often than anyone ever has.

[@bluepythonproductions]

Actually you could be right. When I saw the X axis I was thinking “what does PPG have to do with anything?” He doesn’t have to actually score a ton of points to get to the line a million times. If we saw the FTA percentage then we could see for sure

[@vizualwarrior129]

Dan Fox my thoughts exactly. The PPG had absolutely nothing to do with FTA

[@jakepetersen9743]

Dan Fox I could be wrong but I think he’s showing this stat because ai and Jordan shot more free throws than harden and harden still managed to put up more ppg. Many people claim that he scores so much because he shoots way more free throws than other nba players. And in the video he clearly explained he’s not flopping he’s just playing smart. He gets hate just cause others are not smart or skilled enough to do the things he does.

[@craigjohnston5781]

Another outlier aspect that would be interesting is how many FTAs per jumpshots outside of 20 feet. Harden shoots basically the same number of free throws while taking far more deep jumpers than AI and MJ making that stat even less relevant.

[@Ayebeefstick]

He showed harden this year compared to other years of 34-36 pts per game. Last year harden averaged 36 shooting more free throws but it’s him this year compared to their best

I personally believe that in these situations, the NBA starts to shift to far off from FIBA basketball, which simply makes it less fun to watch. Most of us out there playing basketball on amateur or semi-pro level look at the NBA to be inspired. James Harden is not inspiring to watch, we can't pull of any of his moves. NBA wants this big show, but a lot of us just wanna watch good basketball :)

This is why James Harden is going down as one of the best scorers in NBA history

[@brandonwhite652]

He already is

With an asterisk. *during this period, playing defense was automatically a foul.

The Chosen One he said one of the best scorers not the best Kd is there too obviously

[@cruz1n494]

The Chosen One he said “ONE of the best scorers” dumbass.

[@omnipepper3665]

@@wesleypriddy8698 does that mean defensive players should have an asterisk during the 80s and 90s because it's harder to play defense now?
