though Simmons is younger, Harden is a much more explosive scorer and can actually shoot the 3
Harden and Embiid will be fun to watch together.
The Ben Simmons saga finds a resolution. James Harden finds a new home. Here's what the blockbuster means for the Nets, the 76ers and a wildly different Eastern Conference landscape.

His 3pt% is 33%, after not playing basketball in over 32 years I was shooting long 3's better then that on my off days. Even when he was shooting 3's seemingly good, it still only was league avg % wise aprox 36%. OUR PERCEPTION is through highlight reels of his step back 3's, but when he's off he shoots way to many, whereby a wise man knows when he's off some days. Yes he scores, but he's only gonna take those pts away from Embid and Tobias Harris' game totals.
Where he's good: getting to the line, assists (but turnovers will be as frustrating as were Simmons), creating offense, creating space.
But he needs to do what he did his last year or 2 in Houston, that is to be more complete by actually trying on defense, and he needs to take his conditioning serious if he wants to finally get a championship and extend his contract to an older age....perhaps prove he's serious by finally shaving that rediculous beard, it's not lucky and it's not helping his 3's at all. It's probably a hindrance to his game like Payne's flapping front heavy hair did in Orlando.
My recommendations to Harden:
Conditioning, take L'arginine for the muscle strain spasm issues, maybe even vitamins to help blood flow to his legs and strengthen vessels like Bildeberry and such, check for potassium deficiencies,
use Voltarin to relax the muscle and ease the pain, use the highest rated massage items for your legs and proper compression gear. Learn Proper pregame pre workout stretching techniques, you are never to big a star to gain tips from others, even defensive tricks by people like Embid and Thybulle and Green, can help his both sides of the ball game
