Dwight Howard dubs teammate James Harden the best left-handed NBA player ever

Bill Russell, David Robinson, Willis Reed ... apparently James Harden of the Houston Rockets is a better left-handed player than all of those basketball legends.

At least, that's how teammate Dwight Howard sees things, according to a question-and-answer session on his Twitter account Monday:

Howard implied Russell could be the greatest player of all time before sending out his tweet about Harden, which raises the question of how the Boston Celtics icon can be considered the best ever if he's not even the most dominant lefty.

One follower made sure to point out that flawed logic to Howard shortly thereafter:

The eight-time All-Star never mentioned that he was looking to identify the best left-handed shooter, though. Perhaps it was his way of saving his hide from disgruntled Twitter users looking for any reason to engage in heated basketball talk during these slow times.
