Jeff Teague puts James Harden ahead of Dwyane Wade among all-time shooting guards
Teague highlighted Harden’s remarkable individual achievements and impact on the game, emphasizing his dominance during his tenure with the Houston Rockets. “Harden is the #3 shooting guard of all-time,” Teague said. “Me just watching his game going against him, competing against him. James Harden when he was by himself in Houston, bro they was going to the Western Conference Finals every year. They were doing all this stuff and he was unbelievable, averaging averaging 35-8-8. He was unguardable! “I ain’t trying to disrespect D-Wade but before Bron go there Miami was competing with us, the Hawks. Then Bron came and it’s a different stratosphere.”
