The greatest of all-time and comparison debates are unending affairs in the NBA world. Fans recently went gaga over the new comparison debate involving Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden and a Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade. While a former NBA Champion already trashed Wade in the ongoing debate, he once again took a sly dig at the 41-year-old star.
On the other hand, the Sixers star James Harden has already been making waves in the NBA world because of his trade drama. The 33-year-old star hinted at a trade out from the Philly side in the offseason, but he is yet to realize it. Moreover, he faced a lot of criticisms for his underwhelming performances in the playoff. But despite that, The Beard still had an upper hand in the comparison debate.

Former NBA Champion Jeff Teague took the NBA world by storm when he picked James Harden over Dwyane Wade in his podcast. While fans debated his controversial take for the last 10 days, he again came up with a justification. He compared the stats of the duo and revealed that James holds the upper hand. However, things went out of hand when he trashed Wade with an uncanny analogy.
While featuring in an interview with the Complex, Teague made an analogy involving kids. He said, “Rings don’t matter to me… When I go to the park, I see a little kid playing like Harden. I don’t really see little kids playing like D. Wade.”
Following that, a tweet bearing his analogy went viral and divided the comments section. Amid fan war in the comments, one user described the statement as, “This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”
