I can't give you full credit, OP. It seems that you and the other posters who responded were discussing if Maxey can reach Harden's 2021 level of play, not just simply pass him up.
Yes, Maxey improved in two years, but not THAT much. Harden's regression since then plays just as much of a role in the upside switch between the two as any other factor. I mean, by the '01/'02 season, Ray Allen was a better player than Jordan, so it happens.
I just thought it would be fun to look up that stats.
Jordan averaged 23/6/5 with 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks on 42% FG.
Ray Allen averaged 22/5/4 with 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks on 46% FG .
That's actually pretty close lol. I expected a really big difference
2001 is before my time but you got to look at defense too. Defensive rating goes to jordan (i know, not perfect, but i cant watch 160 games for a reddit comment). Which is insane since hes 40 years old.
