Who is better now, Harden or Maddie in his prime

Both of them have been criticized for their defensive ability.

To sum it up in one sentence: Maddie is not defensive.

While Harden is still a few streets away from being a defensive specialist, his toughness and more foot movement are evident, and the Rockets' overall defense is a big improvement over the previous season.

When it comes to offense, Maddie is the only player who can "move God to tears", and the 35.13 minutes and dry-pull jumper that ignores any defense is the best memory of his youth.

Maddie had few weaknesses on the offensive end before the injury. In his prime 2004-2005 season, the 25-year-old Maddie averaged points, rebounds and assists per game for the Rockets, shooting 43 percent from the field.

Maddy, on the other hand, is more creative on the offensive end, he's tall, has long arms and a lot of stride, and handles the ball more cleanly than Harden, so he's less sticky and prone to turnovers.

But being efficient at offensive opportunities has never been his forte, and Maddy has only one season in his career and has been able to shoot above the league average.

Harden, who was also 25 last season, averaged points, rebounds and assists per game. He is shooting 45 percent from the field and 38 percent from three-point range, and is averaging free throw lines per game.

Harden and Maddy's style of play is very different, and Harden shows that he is a player who plays more with his brain, whether it is dribbling, European stepping or foul cheating.

To put it nicely, you can call him smart, and if it is ugly, you can also call him cunning. But no matter what, the two men are comparable in firepower and threat on the offensive end.

Harden's Rockets career has been on a steady rise, and he has a more complete team system than Maddy. According to rational analysis, as long as he goes to nightclubs less, Harden's advantage will continue to expand over time.

In terms of scoring, Maddie is even better, a two-time NBA scoring champion.

In terms of organization, Harden is even better, averaging 28+12 assists per game this season.

Maddie and Harden are both good offensive players. Overall, Maddy is stronger, and Harden's honor is more luxurious than Maddy's, but fans believe that Maddy's talent and strength are higher than Harden's. Harden's style of play does not attract fans, even those classic porcelain touching scenes have made Harden controversial, not only domestic fans, but also American forums and **.

These two styles of play are different, and Maddie's style of play looks even better. Harden is the only star in the NBA who is dissed by the audience for fouls and walks while playing the wild ball.

First of all, honor does not exactly equate to strength. Second, some older generation stars are controversial about Harden's foul behavior. Harden really can't compare to Maddy. Similarly, Harden, Maddy's defense is not good in the supergiant, but Maddy's defense is one notch better than Harden's.

At his peak, Maddie's outside projection was also top-notch, and in the fierce competition on the inside, Maddie could also win the scoring title in a row. From the point of view of offensive means, Maddie's breakthrough is also very good. A variety of tie rods and snap buckles are pleasing to the eye.

Maddie's era is not easy to foul. Not only the offensive means, but Maddie's passing ability is also top-notch. At that time, the Rockets only Maddie could pass the ball to Yao Ming efficiently.

The Rockets' defenders are unreliable. Maddie is tall, has good eyesight, and has great judgment. When it came to the Jazz and Mavericks, the Rockets relied on the "Yao Mai Combination" to play evenly.

If the Warriors' defensive players have a bit of a role, then the Rockets' results will definitely go up.

Some have questioned Maddie's defensive prowess. Maddy's defensive ability is not much stronger than Harden's, and he often defends to the power forward position, because the Rockets' good power forward position is too poor. In the small-ball era, Maddie went from one to four defenses without a problem.

Maddie doesn't have Harden's eye defense, and the Rockets' defensive system doesn't allow any player to have that kind of defense.

Harden is also a top player on the offensive end. His offense is varied, his individual ability is strong, and his playmaking offense is hilarious, however, if Harden is in the Maddie era, his moves are really hard to use. Harden's letting go is not enough, and the playoffs are not actively defending.

Why is it that no one in the Maddie era can play the best player stats in today's small-ball era? Is it their talent and ability that they can't? It was the iron-clad defense of the league at the time.

Harden is definitely not as talented as Maddy. The impact on Harden after the league changed the rules this season is clear. Some people will say that Maddie is not enough to watch, but Maddie's defense in his era cannot be compared with the small-ball era, in terms of influence, Maddie entered the Hall of Fame, and his personal performance was also very good in the game, and Hardy Leader was also booked in the Hall of Fame, and the two were evenly matched, but Maddie was better in talent and strength.

Personally, I think Harden has more influence and is more powerful, because he has a lot of fans around the world, and he has a lot of status, strength, and experience, so I think Harden's strength is stronger.

Personally, I think Harden is more influential, he is really very talented, and he is very capable; Harden's strength is stronger.

Personally, I feel that Harden is more influential and stronger, because he has achieved excellent results in many games.

Maddy is a little better than Harden; Harden's honor is more luxurious than Maddy's, but fans believe that Maddy's talent and strength are higher than Harden's.

In the United States, Harden is influential. After all, the Grand Slam of personal honors. In China, Harden can't compare to Maddie. Because of feelings.
