James Harden is better than Tracy McGrady was and it’s not particularly close
Photo by Tim Warner/ Both guys are/were great, but one is clearly better. The latest NBA Twitter debate is Houston Rockets-related, and it’s pitting two franchise greats against one another in James Harden versus Tracy McGrady. But a simple look at the careers of both players show that this shouldn’t even really be a debate. Harden is the better player, and it’s not particularly close. I’ve been a Rockets fan since 1986. I’ve watched the careers of both very closely, and there’s simply no argument to made for McGrady. None. Zilch. Now you may like T-Mac better, and that’s...

By the end, I try to figure out if this seems like an experiment that is going to end up victorious or not. On the offensive side, I talk at length about everything from how...
