Yang Yi bluntly stated that Harden is better than McGrady at the peak, but he is not as powerful as the Demon Sword! It s a pity to stay at the Spurs

Yang Yi, a famous commentator in the domestic basketball circle, talked to his agent Ren Ran on a particularly controversial topic in the live broadcast - at the peak, Harden, McGrady and Ginobili, who is better?

Teacher Yang Yi is very straightforward and said without hesitation that the peak Harden is better than the peak McGrady; and in his opinion, neither of them is as good as the peak Ginobili. As soon as he said this, many fans were anxious. After all, McGrady and Harden have a good position in the hearts of fans.

Yang Yi explained why he thought Harden was better than McGrady and said that Harden's breakthrough skills at his peak were much better than McGrady. McGrady mainly plays with balls outside while floating and shooting. Although her posture is high and her movements look floating and stretchy, she looks really good, but her shooting percentage is still certain, which is really not as good as Harden's breakthrough to the basket and causing damage to his opponent. In Yang Yi's opinion, McGrady is indeed not as good as Harden.

But Yang Yi emphasized more that Ginobili is the strongest among these three people. He said directly that if someone thinks McGrady or Harden is better than Ginobili, then it can only be said that this person has never watched Ginobili's game at his peak. Take Ginobili's performance in the 2004 Olympics and 2005 games for example. At that time, he could do everything on the field, breaking through, passing the ball, scoring, and making his opponent dizzy.

Yang Yi also mentioned that Ginobili played the sixth man in the Spurs for a special historical reason. At that time, the Spurs had Duncan at the peak. Duncan's dominance in the NBA interior was second only to O'Neal and his strength was particularly comprehensive. As an old-school coach, Popovich has a rigorous coaching style and the Spurs are also disciplined. Ginobili plays with a big and creative style, and he doesn't know how to use him well for a while. After all, once Ginobili is reused, the team's tactics have to be played around him and the ball has to be handed over to him. But Popovich asked the ball to start from inside Duncan, so he asked Parker to start and play the pick-and-roll between Parker and Duncan first.

I really had no tricks, so I replaced Ginobili. As soon as Ginobili came on the court, he had to solve the problems that the team could not solve and was responsible for tackling the tough problems. Even when Ginobili was older and his speed and breakthrough ability were not as good as his peak in 2013 and 2014, the Spurs had to rely on him in the end. As long as he is on the court, the team has a little hope, he is the life-saving straw for the Spurs in desperate situations.

And, Yang Yi also gave an example to say that the scoring difficulties of top events such as the Olympics and the World Championships are much more difficult than in the NBA. Just like Doncic scored smoothly in the NBA, it was much more difficult to score in the Olympics. Even though Ginobili is still the absolute core of the Argentine men's basketball team in the Olympics, he can still beat the field. So, Yang Yi felt that Ginobili could not be regarded as an ordinary sixth person. His strength and role were much stronger than this positioning.

In my opinion, Yang Yi's comment is mainly because Ginobili's own strength is too strong. The technology is so comprehensive that it is impossible to say. The breakthrough speed is fast, the passing field is wide, and the shooting is accurate. At critical moments, he has strong psychological quality and always shoots key balls when the game is in a stalemate. In the Spurs, although they are mostly substitutes, their playing time and role are no worse than starting. Just as Yang Yi said, looking at Manu in a desperate situation, he can always stand up and change the situation when the team needs it the most.

Also, Ginobili's performance in the international arena was so impressive. In the 2004 Olympics, he led the Argentine men's basketball team to defeat the American Dream Team and won the championship. It was really a sensation. In the World Championship, he faces top players from all countries, but he can perform at the dominant level, which can fully prove his strength.

In comparison, Harden and McGrady's influence in the international arena is indeed not as good as Ginobili. Of course, McGrady's cool style of play and Harden's explosive scoring have also made fans crazy. But when it comes to comprehensive strength and performance in key games, Ginobili is even more powerful in Yang Yi's heart. Although this view is bold, it also has its unique angle and basis, which gives fans new ideas about the strength comparison of these three stars.
