Who do you think will rank higher when their careers are done, James Harden or Joel Embiid (alien.top)

Two all time great regular season players known for their playoff shortcomings. Current achievements

Harden: 1x MVP, 10x All Star, 7x All NBA, 3x scoring champ, 2x assist leader

Embiid: 1x MVP, 6x All Star, 5x All NBA, 2x scoring champ, 3x All Defense

Embiid this season is on his way to winning his 3rd scoring title and matching Harden in that department. If he stays healthy he should surpass Harden in all star and all nba selections as well. I think he will be the higher one all time when it's all said and done even without a ring

This idea that Harden deserved 3 or 4 MVPs has somehow become popular on this sub and is insane box score watching lol

You’d think that the top 3 peaks are MJ, LeBron, and Harden by the way people talk about it

Idk tbh, Harden had a solid argument all of the yesrs he came 2nd. Id give Steph 2015, but the reasoning for 2017 worked against Harden but when hes in the isame position was Westbrook in 2019 dragging a medicore roster while putting up even more absurd numbers than Westbrook did, he comes 2nd. I dont think he shouldve recieved 3 or 4 MVPs but I think.he was robbed one of the MVPs from in 2017 and 2019.
