Mike James even claimed that Harden also deserves a spot on the list given his accolades. While many fans might consider this claim as far-fetched, there is no denying the quality both Harden and Irving have in terms of scoring. Before his move to the Nets, Harden was the go-to guy in the Houston Rockets’ offense.
Shooting threes, making plays and carrying his team to victories, ‘the Beard‘ was the guy in the Rockets. While his time came to a disappointing end, he won multiple scoring titles and proved his offensive talent. Irving unlike Harden has had his fair struggles with injuries.

But apart from that, ‘Uncle Drew‘ is world class the moment he steps on the court. Last season, Irving even joined the very exclusive club of 40-50-90. Despite the talents of Irving and Harden, the likes of LeBron, Kobe, KD and MJ have been offensive juggernauts for upwards ever since they entered the league.
Leading their team in scoring, the four mentioned players have carried their teams scoring load in playoffs as well. If Irving and Harden can prove themselves in the biggest stage of them, they can undoubtedly make it to this fabled list.
