When requested if LeBron James belongs within the class of all-around gamers like Grant Hill, Scottie Pippen, and Penny Hardaway, Harper provided a special perspective. “Nicely, 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 amazing passer. Now when you’re speaking about guys who can rating the basketball? Grant Hill can rating the basketball, he wasn’t an amazing passer. He may rating the basketball. Tracy McGrady was an amazing passer and he may rating. So, you may 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 unsuitable, they’re all nice gamers.” -via ScoopB.com / March 7, 2025
