Personally, it is difficult for Harden to surpass Wade and become the shooting guard after Jordan and Kobe. Because although Harden is the best shooting guard in active service, in the whole NBA history, his current achievements cannot be compared with those of previous superstars, nor can he be on an equal footing with Wade.
Harden's personal honor is not as good as Wade's. So far, Harden hasn't won a championship. Although they had participated in a finals with Thunder before, they eventually lost to the Heat with 1-4 and were directly swept by the gentleman. Fortunately, he has the trophy of the most valuable player in the regular season, which has improved his capital to some extent, but other honors are scarce.
Unlike Harden, Wade won three championships (including two consecutive championships) throughout his career, one of which was the most valuable player. Judging from the championship data alone, Wade can leave Harden far behind. In 2006, Wade, a junior, led the Heat to the finals. Against the Mavericks, the Heat fell behind 0-2 at first, and the situation was very dangerous. At this critical moment, Wade stepped forward and led the team to complete the reversal, and finally defeated the Mavericks 4-2 and won the first championship in the team's history. With outstanding personal performance, Wade was elected as the most valuable player in the finals.
Harden's personal willpower is not as known as Wade's. Harden plays very well in the regular season, often gets high marks and is very efficient. However, he often plays poorly in the playoffs and his shooting percentage is erratic. Harden is often invisible in some crucial games, and he can't lead the team to win the game, let alone lead the team to a comeback. Therefore, Harden's personal willpower is average.
Unlike Harden, Wade seems to be born for key games. He has strong willpower and dares to carry the team on his shoulders. In some key games, Wade often takes the lead, scores points for the team in different ways, and finally leads the team to win the game. You know, this is what Wade can do when he only has one meniscus. If he can keep a good competitive state all the time, he may make greater achievements.
In short, Harden is not as good as Wade at present, and it is difficult to surpass Wade in the future. Unless, in his later career, he won 2-3 championships and 1-2 finals MVP. But as far as the current team situation is concerned, it is difficult for Harden to win enough championships.
