As the two best stars in the 2009 draft, Curry and Harden both have very brilliant careers and have become the best in their respective positions. They have served as the core and leader of their respective teams for a long time in their respective teams. In the 16th season of his career, Curry and Harden are still core players of their respective teams and maintain a good competitive state. Both teams have entered the playoffs this season.

As a totem player in the Warriors' history, Curry, who is 37 years old, still performs well in the playoffs. So far in the playoffs, Curry has played 8 games for the Warriors, averaging 35.1 minutes per game, scoring 22.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.8 blocks, shooting percentage of 47.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and free throw percentage of 89.3%. He performed very comprehensively and completed attacks many times at critical moments of the game. With Curry's outstanding performance, the Warriors also successfully achieved the following score in the first round of the playoffs, defeating the higher-ranked Rockets and advancing to the second round of the playoffs.

Curry is still the most trustworthy player of this Warriors and the weather vane for the team's winning or losing. In this year's playoffs, Curry averaged 22.6 points per game and ranked first in the team, while he scored a total of 181 points this season, which is still the most important weapon in the Warriors. Unfortunately, Curry withdrew early due to a strained left hamstring in the first round of the playoffs. In the G2 game where Curry missed, the Warriors also suffered a crushing defeat, which is enough to show the importance of Curry to the team!

In contrast, although 35-year-old Harden played his second spring in the regular season, he was lost again in the key playoffs this season. In the first round of the series, Harden played 7 games for the Clippers, scoring 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block in averaging 39.4 minutes of playing time, scoring 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block, shooting percentage of 43.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 36.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 81.8%. In terms of data and efficiency alone, Harden is still at the top defender level.

Based on the actual performance of the field, especially in the key battle of Tianwang Mountain and tiebreak battles, Harden's sluggish performance is an important reason for the team's loss. Facing the Rockets with excellent defense, Harden struggled a little on the offensive end, but he chose to be invisible when the team urgently needed him to stand up. In this year's playoffs, although Harden scored a total of 131 points, ranking second in the team, he has set a record of the lowest score in the single season of the playoffs since his career. However, Harden has a record that makes him an important position in history, that is, he has entered the playoffs every season of his career, which also makes him the only player in history to achieve this.

Overall, 35-year-old Harden and 37-year-old Curry have ushered in different situations this season. For Curry, he is still the absolute core of the Warriors and has performed very competitively. Especially after receiving Butler's help, his condition remained very stable. As for Harden, although he still has the ability to play excellent data, his performance at critical moments in the playoffs is still controversial, which also led to the Clippers' final regret of stopping in the first round. And Harden obviously hasn't had much time to compete for the championship!

Who do you think is the better player in Harden and Curry in the playoffs this season?
