He's a great player, don't get me wrong, but a lot of his scoring comes down to defenders being scared of getting the whistle blown. Sometimes to no avail...
Lot of truth to that although I'd say Harden is a legit NBA superstar but the blatant way he's able to draw phantom fouls turns him into an otherworldly Hall of Famer.
It would have been nice to see just how good Harden would have been without the crazy help from refs.
I suspect he'd still be pretty great, but we'll never know because he's too smart to not parade to free throw line as many times as the refs will allow.
The thing that gets me about Harden is how angry he gets when people criticize his offensive game as bad basketball. Methinks the lady(Beard) doth protest too much.
