CMV: Harden's comment about 7 footers in the NBA is actually true

Height and athleticism are literally cheat codes in the game of basketball that allow you to get away with being less skilled.

For instance, compare KD and Curry. In my opinion, KD is called incredibly skilled even though his height and length allows him to have an ungaurdable set point on his shot. KD literally doesn't even have to create space for his shots. His height allows him to take any shot on the floor that he wants regardless of defense.

Curry on the other hand has to develop an arsenal of soft skills around his insane shooting ability to allow him to get open either through clever off ball movement or incredible handles.

In general, I'm trying to argue that's it's just way more difficult to play basketball at a smaller size and as a result, bigger players tend to be less skilled because they don't need to be in order to score or rebound.

I can't deny that there have been legitametely skilled seven footers though such as Hakeem and Kareem that don't just rely on brute force and size. The no skill seven footers I'm talking about are guys like Clint capella, Damian Jones, Mo Bamba. Guys that literally are there to set picks, rebound, catch lobs, and dunk...you can take literally anybody decently in shape and make them 7 ft and they would be able to do the same things...

It’s pretty unfair to Giannis though, it’s not like the guy isn’t skilled or like he was just naturally that big. He was. Scrawny when he came into the league. He posts, he handles, he passes, his shot has steadily improved, he puts a ton of effort in on d and it’s impossible to compare Harden’s motor to Giannis’s. 

I’d also argue that developing foot work, a handle and etc is harder when you’re that tall. You just don’t have the same natural coordination as some of the smaller guys.

The game isn’t just easy for Giannis because  he’s taller. He’s also put in a ton of work, plays hard and has molded his body into what it is to today.
