People like to say its Curry but I feel Harden has been more influential with how folks play today, from the NBA to the local gym
They play more like Harden than Curry and thats a hill im ready to die on
Can’t ride with this buddy
Harden has had some influence on the league and local gyms sure but not curry levels
But that’s my humble
harden on no Mt rushmore anywhere

Great topic to discuss.
Long 3s is what Curry does. Of course he handles the rock some but he does a lot of running without the ball to get a lot of shots. What other player does that?
The way folks in the league handle the rock and attempt the shots they do is a direct reflect of what Harden did. They bring the ball up and go 1v1 and do the things Harden was doing. From step back long 3s to all the dribble moves. Hell Jimmy Butler is doing what Harden was doing years ago when it comes to try and get fouls
Matter of fact. Harden is the most influential player of all time when it comes to players of all levels copying his style

Steph curry is the reason why players can take pull up threes in transition and not get pulled off the floor
He birthed Logo lillard
He birthed cheap imitations like Trae young and Lamelo ball coming up
Steph curry is the reason why there is an uptick in pace and threes the past decade
Curry is the reason why kids would rather pull up from three
Curry is the reason why the three point contest is more popular than the dunk contest and the reason why the three pointer is the highlight local players want to go for over the crossover or dunk
He has influenced an entire era of basketball
i can’t say harden has done anything besides making the step back popular and flailing and flipping to game the Refs for guys like Embiid to take advantage
Everybody can’t do what curry can do because not everybody can do what he do and doesn’t have a system in place like the warriors do
Just because more players can emulate harden doesn’t mean he’s more influential

More rappers can rap like future than they can for BIG
that doesn’t mean future is more influential all time than biggie
that doesn’t mean future is more influential all time than biggie
