All those guys have decisions to make in every possession, other than a handoff, their passing. It\u2019s a split second, so those are the guys that have to make a decision. I don\u2019t even know how many times they pass the ball, but it\u2019s difficult, it\u2019s not easy. Some people that are really great decision makers, under pressure can think that fast, and some people just aren\u2019t, so it\u2019s a tough situation to be in. But the ones that are good at it, they excel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scoopb.com\/2026\/02\/the-quarterback-of-the-hardwood-james-harden-and-the-evolution-of-the-system\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ScoopB.com;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ScoopB.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When I spoke with Harden this afternoon and brought up the quarterback comparison, his eyes lit up.
