He had a poor career so far period and like I said before is highly overrated.  I guess Harden has to win a title shut up all the haters but I take Harden over Lillard easily.  He just needs to adjust his game in the playoffs a bit to be more effective because its harder to get foul calls in the playoffs.  That being said he got way farther in the playoffs this year then Lillard will more then likely ever get in his entire career.  Out of the team in the West that made the playoffs OKC will drop off the most and Portland will drop off the second both should miss the playoffs next season.

How has Lillard had a poor career? He's never been on the kind of championship capable team that Harden has had multiple times in his career. Lillard once won a playoff series pretty much single handedly. When has Harden done that? 

And again, their stats are VERY similar, so I don't know how you can say one guy has had a poor career, but the other is all that.

Lillard: 23.1PPG on 43.2% shooting, 36.8% from deep, 88.4% from the line, 6.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds

Harden: 23.0PPG on 44.3% shooting, 36.4% from deep, 85.4% from the line, 6.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds

If Lillard had been put in the same kind of team situations Harden has had in his career, there's no question in my mind he'd be handily outperforming him. Just my opinion. 

Harden numbers could be a lot higher but OKC didn't realize how good of a player he was and he came of the bench in his first three years.  Also Harden didn't have much of a supporting cast last season and he lead the league in assists and came close to leading the league in scoring also.  Again Lillard is very overrated also led me remind you again he got owned by Rondo in the playoffs this year that sweep was pretty much the most embarrassing defeat in in this years playoffs.
