Houston claims that James Harden is far better offensive than Michael Jordan. Is this really absurd?

Houston prefers to believe, without exception, at the same time in our own manner, just as we made clear with the provocation of the Rockets management the hype around refereeing during the Golden State series. In the summer season, general manager Daryl Mori went a little further, and, of his own free will, agreed “to be doused with shit." “This is simply a fact that James Harden is more accurate as a scorer than Michael Jordan,” Mori said in the Selfmade with Nadeshot podcast. - You have to take a look, look, you give the ball to James Harden, how many points will he score up to such as having possession switched to another team? Directly in this way, it is also necessary to evaluate the attack. James Harden here - license plate number 1 in the event, and also not a single soul, including nearby. I take the protests. I have every chance to give an answer, that if Michael Jordan was moved to the team from another period, in that case he would have been able to do more than James

“This is simply a fact that James Harden is more accurate as a scorer than Michael Jordan,” Mori said in the Selfmade with Nadeshot podcast. - You have to take a look, look, you give the ball to James Harden, how many points will he score up to such as having possession switched to another team?

I take the protests. I have every chance to give an answer, that if Michael Jordan was moved to the team from another period, in that case he would have been able to do more than James Harden. This is valid. However, if you simply say: “We take the NBA epic, give the guy a ball and see how much his team will accumulate after that, just as you give him the ball until the transfer of ownership of another team?”. Also it is directly James Harden. I also understand that it angers the multitude, but this is simply a fact. "

Further in the podcast, Mori announced the most incomprehensible thing - that Harden was more evident than Jordan earlier at that moment, if he performed 6th in Oklahoma.

In addition, the fact that Harden himself described the given as well as "madness" is thrown into the eyes of another aspect.


Daryl Mori is very baggy. Whether language difficulties are also unlikely here. “How much his team will accumulate after you give him a ball right up to the transfer of ownership to another team” - this is absolutely acceptable, in this case some kind of concluding technique, which is used only in Houston.

It would be curious to look at her.

These inferential tools, what is available in aggregate use, are more likely to contradict the general premise.

What should be taken into account here?

  • 1. The usual characteristics of two in terms of a hundred possessions.
The speed of the game, of course, changed throughout the seasons. In the course of his career advancement, Jordan gradually lingered, along with the course of his career, Harden grew over time. The number of possessions after the game changed, this was also reflected in the performance.
A study in terms of one hundred possessions supports freeing themselves from these discrepancies.
  • 2. We compare true shooting percentage with respect to the average percentage of the total league.
Here it is necessary not to lose sight of a number of factors.
True shooting percentage is a research indicator that sets the throwing performance of this or another player. They are comfortable to use, due to the fact that at the same time it provides for all types of shots (penal, two-points, and three-points), without exception. It is calculated according to such a formula.In absolute terms, because of Harden’s career, Michael Jordan is mores.


At the same time, basketball very often changed: it evolved in defense, the rules of the game changed, limiting the guardianship of players, the emphasis on two-pointer was more and more replaced by drug dependence on three-pointer, and game skills were improved.
