I'll start off by saying it: He's the greatest left handed player period. Now, as I pause and prepared to be massacred, I'll pull a few rabbits out of my hat.

In the beginning, There was Russell, and not (Westbrook), THEE sometime forgotten about Bill Russell. 11 rings in 13 season says it all, and battling a goliath named Chamberlain speaks for its self.
The quiet-fundamental game of another Lefty that makes my personal list is Mullin: Chris Mullin. He was a part of the Run TMC, and put up 25 plus a night FIVE straight seasons.
Nate Archibald had a nice start his career, and often overlooked because of the numbers he put up after Cincinnati/Kansas City weren’t the same.
My personal favorite was Nick Van Exel. You would have to catch highlights of the memories I have of him, because the stats don't quite tell the whole story of how good and exciting he was.

San Antonio has two guys, and you can say the torch was passed (left handedly) of the lefties. The admiral David Robinson excited us for 14 seasons, won a scoring title, and won two championships. His appointee would be Manu Ginobili. He's primarily been a 6th man, but I would say if there were a HALL OF FAME for sixth men, 1st ballot all the way. Even being a 6th man, he has excited us in every way. He has played with excellent energy and has been a class act on and off the court.

LeBron James "technically” is the best Left Handed Player. You may or may not know that James actually writes with his left hand. With that, from a technical stance, it could be said that he truly is the best left handed player to play the GAME: or as I'll put it, the most exciting and athletically gifted.
With all that said, it to this point belongs to Harden by default, as he (Harden) uses his left to play. It's probably going to be a while before we see another like this.
