I see that too. I bet a big reason is he's playing for his hometown team with one of his best friends he grew up with. Idk what it is, but I feel like he is a perfect fit for Kawhi. I'm not a fan of Kawhi and harden been pissin me off the past couple years, but they're actually really fun to watch together.
@treyjohnson8557 doncic already the better player he's a wayyy better offensive player than harden he can fade away he can pass better and he doesn't just score his pts from 3 and from the line like harden would
Both are past their prime, and it's easy to play when there are no expectations. They both aren't as good on teams expecting to compete for a championship.
@@norsharn2883lol Luka is a baby and still one of the best in the league. Leonard’s defense is insane. Nobody can easily penetrate through his defense.
@@prudhvivankineni4880 if you're taking harden as the best 1v1 player, I'm takin MJ, Kobe, A.I., KD, Bron, Wade, Tmac, over him any day. You're crazy if you think he is better at 1 on 1 than any of these players.
Im telling you luka magic will be remembered as much as magic johnson cus he is already snapping records he is so young if he plays until he is 30 he will have everyones records❤❤❤❤😊
Jordan Lebron Kobe Kareem Pippen Kobe Grant Hill Vince Carter KD Westrbook etc. It's more common then you think still an incredible feat. Happened in all the major sports as well especially if your drafted mid to end of decade and play 20 plus yrs
Luka if he stays healthy is far superior to Harden Harden has been a bit of and ass hat the 2nd half of his career. He is always outta shape and at times a negative distraction. Russ is still a beast and pretty good leader.
@@toddyhebert6996you can’t shit on harden then praise Russ especially on the later half of their careers you’re biased harden is a top 5 sg of all time and to have that comparison for Luka is huge
Harden had weight problems, Luka has weight problems. Harden broke historic stats, Luka is breaking historic stats. Harden started the long stepback, Luka extended the stepback. Neither play as hard on defense as on offense.
Not saying anything new here, just very appreciative of good and classy sportsmanship by R & J. ( It does seem rare these days to do it DURING a game. Great role-modeling for kids, too. )
I love that guys game . Anyone that smiles as much as he does and is that great !! Gotta love ‘em!!! He will go down as legend some just can’t see that now 😢
@@patrickoakley7890 I remember that. He is not the top sportsmanship like say Steven Adams. But at least he is not a dirty player and does the taunting in moderation. He isnt trying to kill people out there like draymond or makes jokes about cancer patients or dead mothers like Kevin garnett.
Harden and Westbrook are both veterans in the league now at 34 and 35 years old, Luka is the future of the league, these fellas recognise this because real recognises real. Both being the calibre they were/occasionally still are, they know they are watching greatness in Luka.
Amazing shot, but I miss the NBA of the 90s or even 2000s when men fought to the death, not like now when everyone is smiling and applauding each other.
