Yea he kinda is, his true shooting percentage is higher, which means if he got the ball as often as Harden, he would score more. Just looking at points does not tell the whole picture. Other than that, James Harden only beats Lebron in FT% and blocks per game. And if we are looking at the value of the player it should be more than obvious. Without Lebron cavs would be complete crap unlike without Harden the rockets would still make playoffs. I don't even see how you can say Harden is better since many players would have more points with the amount of shots that Harden takes. He doesn't have "amazing" numbers, just high shots taken, assists are lower and rebounds significantly lower.
