When requested if LeBron James belongs within the class of all-around gamers like Grant Hill, Scottie Pippen, and Penny Hardaway, Harper supplied a special perspective. “Properly, I don’t know if LeBron is a better athlete than what Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway was and what Tracy McGrady was,” Harper said. “If I’m going to group LeBron, I’m going to group LeBron with Oscar Robertson and Magic as a result of he’s an ideal passer. Now in the event you’re speaking about guys who can rating the basketball? Grant Hill can rating the basketball, he wasn’t an ideal passer. He might rating the basketball. Tracy McGrady was an ideal passer and he might rating. So, you’ll be able to group these guys in no matter opinion that you’ve, none of them are going to be proper and none of them are going to be mistaken, they’re all nice gamers.” -via ScoopB.com / March 7, 2025
