[@tripletee2324]

CP3 is barely 6 foot and is an all-time defender. Melo is 6’8 and has been a defensive liability throughout most of his career. The height argument isn’t valid. There were definitely some postseason series he’s definitely should’ve won or at least took it further than what he did but a lot of his postseason exits were too against the Warriors who we say are the amongst the greatest teams ever if not THE greatest team ever. And even though Harden does often underperform in the postseason, let’s not AI didn’t do the same thing either. Yeah AI hasn’t always been in the best situations himself but he’s also has been one of the biggest reasons why he couldn’t win a championship. That 01 run was great but outside of the Lakers, the other teams weren’t great unlike with teams Harden has faced.

[@dtg0342]

Who did harden face great in Houston besides Golden state who beat him with and without KD. Also loss the same year without KD against Toronto.

[@kingjaydex7464]

Height argument is valid because there are barely any good defenders at the guard position because their height limits their ability to impact the game.

[@blacknetsmed]

Height isn't a good argument for being bad defender, but girth is. Girth is the main Iverson was a poor defender. He weighed 165-170lbs. 5'5" Early Boykins was posting Iverson up.

@3:00 Yall gotta stop. Reggie arguably shouldn't even be in the top 75. Played 18 years, and only has 5 all stars, and 3 3rd team all nba's to his name. Harden CLEARS Reggie Miller.

[@kingjaydex7464]

AI is another player overrated by the “pure hooper” segment of basketball fans. He wasn’t a good defender and he was also a chuck. There’s nothing on the court he did better than Harden. He didn’t score better, pass better, rebound better or defend better

U don't Win back to back Big East defensive player of the year if u suck on defense. Was A.I. great on defense no, but he was solid. He only struggled cuz guys would post him up. It just shows how when u don't watch or live through it, u simply don't know. If u know anything about the Big East in the 90s, u know how winning DPOY twice during that time was super legit.

[@Bluephi22]

Thank you

[@unspeakablyawesomebros3392]

No Ai was horrible on defence, his defensive on off numbers are literally among the worst of anyone who logged as many minutes as him.

[@saviourholland651]

Y'all let me know when the league change the rules for James Harden. Let's not forget because A.I crossed Jordan the rule no carrying was created. Not to mention A.I was 5'11 he measured 6 feet with braid's in a defensive era and still carried his team. While James harden playing in a offensive era where rules are changed for players to showcase there offensive skill still can't scratch a finals even though he's ayed with more super stars be honest with yourselves

[@lamontxx]

They did change the rules cause of harden😂😂 and Harden had to go through the warriors arguably the greatest team of all time

Harden actually a good defender I can't even lie Ai defense was great too except for the games he's had to score all the points and get all the assist same with harden he didn't play defense when he had to get 50 point triple doubles and both did that often but harden took the kd warriors to 7 with just cp3 bron didn't even so that even tho cp3 and capella is better than kyrie and love for harden to do that says allot and even Jordan era player were saying harden the best one on one player ever and best perimeter scorer ever and I agree plus he the only player ever that legit can lead the league in scoring and assist at the same time LeBron can but he plays at a slower pace
