Do you have the same criticism for Curry?
Dude, no. There's no comparison.
Curry spends a lot of time moving around with and without the ball.
Yeah he takes a lot of haymaker shots as well as step back threes.
It's not about the distribution of shots, it's about how the shots are created and the way in which teammates are or are not involved.
But Harden grinds the game down and actively hunts either a step back three or an opportunity to get fouled inside.
Curry approaches the game like a more scoring-focused Nash. Movement, flow, creativity.
Harden approaches the game like a machine.
It's deadly effective and very impressive, but it's not fun or aesthetically pleasing at all.
I get that some people find Curry aesthetically hard to enjoy because he breaks old notions of going for the inside game to free up your outside game, rather than the other way round. But I don't have that hang up.
