Lets say Harden gets traded to the Chicago Bulls and he unexpectedly reverts to his 2018 Harden form from outta nowhere and leads Derozan, Big Vuc, Patty W, and a resurgent Andre Drummond to the NBA title defeating the Knicks, Bucks, Celtics and Suns along the way to the first bulls title in 26 years
Would James Harden (after winning MVP and FMVP) become a Chicago level on par with Michael Jordan??
I know 6 rings to 1 isn't even close but the WAY this would happen to take Chicago from the doldrums of the basement and carry them into the light and bring back championship greatness to a franchise in peril....I mean this would be beyond Cinderella
I think some people would argue THIS would be the strangest happening in NBA history if this story played out to culmination with James Harden becoming a true Dirk Nowitzki babyface turn.
A former MVP everyone thought was past his prime and then he leads the Bulls to the title and slays all the supersteams in his path much to the chagrin and astonishment of the NBA world
