James Harden and Dwyane Wade are widely regarded as two of the greatest shooting guards in NBA history. Harden, who was recently criticized by a former NBA player, currently plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, while Wade retired from the NBA in 2019 following a remarkable 16-season career.
However, NBA analysts are still comparing both legends for their remarkable professional careers and stellar playing styles. A former American professional basketball player recently opened up about who would win in a 1v1 battle between James Harden and Dwyane Wade during their primes.
During a recent interview with BJ Coker, a social programmer at House of Highlights, Tracy McGrady was asked to choose between Harden and Wade for a one-on-one game-winning situation. The seven-time NBA All-Star believes that Harden would beat Wade in that game because he is a better shooter and an amazing ball handler.
“I gotta go with James Harden. Cuz he a better shooter and his handles are better.” McGrady said.
Harden delivered outstanding performances for the Clippers. According to StatMuse, The Beard averaged 16.6 points, 8.5 assists, and 5.1 rebounds in 72 games during the 2023-24 season.
