For a while now, James Harden has installed himself as one of the best scorers in the NBA. For many it is also among the best of the last two decades. And a few would include him among the best ever. But Daryl Morey, general manager of the Houston Rickets, goes further. The manager puts him even ahead of Michael Jordan.
In an interview for the Selfmade with NadeShot podcast, Morey doesn't cut himself by placing his pupil above the best of all time: "It's simply a fact that James Harden is a better scorer than Michael Jordan. You give the ball to James Harden and you count the points it generates before the ball reaches the other team, which is how the attack of a team is measured. The best in the long story is Harden. "
Morey continues with his explanation: "The argument is reasonable. If you now put Jordan on a team, he may do more than Harden. But in the overall story, if you give him the ball, how many points does his team score before that the other team has the ball? The best is Harden. And I know that what I say is not going to like many people, but it is literally a fact. "
The Rockets manager also talked about the signing of Russell Westbrook and the chances of winning the ring with the arrival of the base: "In the history of the NBA only four times a team has had two MVPs separated by three years together in the template. We have them. I know we can win the ring, but let's see if everything works. "
See you next time!
