You really made this about Harden. Ok, let's take those two players in a vacuum. What are we arguing about here?

No one says Giannis is a top 4 offensive player in the NBA. Literally no one.

Giannis' massive impact comes from his ability to serve as an elite rim protector + perimeter coverage + off-ball defense. Top 4 defender last year.

There are two ends to the ball, and Harden, if we give him benefit of the doubt is neutral on that end.

Giannis literally had a fucking wall created by a historically great defensive team every possession down to stop his Shaq-like efficiency in the paint.

Stop. This wasn't about Harden. Was Giannis sub-par that series? Yes, but in an incredibly close series, where the Raptors actually relied on the other Bucks' players missing their open shots outside of George Hill/Brogdon. Middleton and Bledsoe looked atrocious.

Lakers fan btw, so I'm looking at it from a neutral perspective.
