Harden and the Rockets complained all summer when he won MVP, said it was because of narratives which was disrespectful to Giannis.
Giannis has every right to attack him whenever he wants too.

him going to the Finals and getting his ass whooped by the Heat, choking it up at that as the 3rd option to Russ/KD dont matter nor mean shyt.
ever since he has been traded and became the primary option, he has not been back since. He has gotten just as far as Giannis has. Let alone even winning a chip

That's debatable
I’m not saying he’s not better but if you’re superior why do you bring him up every chance, especially if it’s unwarranted?

I hear you, but he said that they were going at whoever was being guarded by Harden, which is what they did. I mean that's not even talking shyt tbh, it's facts. Harden held his ground, Giannis is pissed about losing and he obviously doesn't respect Harden and doesn't care about sugar-coating it and being PC
Imagine Steph Curry talking a bunch of shyt about Kevin Love right after this happened:
He’d look dumb as fucc, just like Giannis does right now.

harden carried OKC in that series, they had no business winning it. Spurs swept the two series prior to that. In shortened season which was beneficial for old teams like spurs.
OKC fiasco is one of the biggest fukk ups in major professional sports history. Bunch of hillbillies looking how to save money completely missing out on the big picture, how even with poor coaching they still had 3 elite players that could generate your team a great offense for every minute on the court. This is karma for taking that team away from Seattle the way they did. They don't know how to run shyt, now watch NBA gifting them a good player in a few years when they can't make the playoffs anymore.

You mean imagine him saying "I went at Love because I felt I could get my shot off against him"? Well that's stating a fact we all saw : he went at Love and got his shot off. The fact he missed and Love played better defense than expected doesn't change that fact

what's crazy is i really like harden and hate to even be kinda honest about him.
that is how much I root for that kid.
especially since i typically know the NCAA top scorer will get shafted in thr NBA just because.
so to see him persevere. Amidst that theft in the night type organization in okc. similar to the Baltimore colts that broke my dad's heart as a kid. When the thunder completely stole Seattle purposefully away from that market. At a time. if they never traded principles around dursnt.
they had the bones for a championship team there.
so now to see them get harden and russ.
then see them play harden like every other top NCAA scoring guy.
it is like, dis sum bullshyt.
yet i rooted for that kid. I remember where i was and what bar I was in and i don't even drink anymore. Let alone at that time. Yet i still remember him beating san an and where i was. Even where the tv in the bar was at the time.
so to see jim finally coup okc and go to Houston. I was all for it reluctantly. As long as harden got his shine. Yet in that. This idea he can pringles gimmick ball and then check out. Just because gimmick ball is doomed to fail. I just will not accept. As harden is smart enough to put his foot down and then demand better in scheme from pringles. Plus harden should demand pringles fix his lack of bball iq where it is essentially flawed. As it pertains to situational lineup and positional changes that lead to real wins regardless of the setting. Which means pringles should be putting out sou d high iq bball rotational lineups. That lead to talking a group for winning in thr post season. Not just being there, and then systematically being destroyed like the warriors have done by simple scheme to pringles. Especially when pringles has been told by his former exec in kerr. To fix xyz and still plays him along the same confines as those exec to head coach employee discussions.
harden is the player I would enjoy rooting for like when he was drafted to his comeuppance. Yet to be the goat.
you need to also do wtf Jordan did as far as DOUG and Phil. Which means you either demand better or lead a coup to remove the weak link.
harden has yet to demand better.
plus has failed to will his way when i have seen him impose his will as well.
oh and that nikka need to hit the weights.
harden got ol slave hand mamie buffalo wing arms.
that shyt a no no.
especially when air Jordan to kobe was only successful.
as kobe put it because when he looked at mj and scottie after the pistons series. That they became strong.
harden needs to re-apply himself in the intangibles. As long as he does not. harden will never be fully successful. Plus, he will continue to leave an indelibly dark mark on his culture card as a player. Which questions his leadership to bbal iq and conditioning. All areas he should not be havinG issues in.
for the type of skill player James harden is.

no Steph should have deferred.
simply because love was playing that well defensively in the finals that entire series. not to mention love is/was Completely active and listed at six ten.
although league wide Steph is larger than most pg's.
alternatively Steph is not a top of his jump jump shooter.
nor a strong line drive top of his arc jump shooter from three or anywhere on court. Plus Steph is not known to be a leaper at all. Nor does he have the elevation as a leaper.
nor shown a real handle under duress of that type in that moment.
from a much larger player active defensively.
to be able to consistently convert under duress from that large of an active defender.
plus previously convert under duress in the finals.
the warriors lost that series.
simplh because they actually by a war of attrition, circumstance and injuries.
made the warriors Into the small ball team. They created an illusion they were in that time and were never a small ball team.
which i have discussed numerous times leading and after that wrinkle of time.
during the warriors success from the dumbest trade in NBA history.
the overall size and rotation of the now fully healthy cavs players.
along with the perimeter ramped x factor of love on defense.
are or were the little talked about kernel to the Cavs success in that series. Which never gets quoted much in the main stream media. Just like kyrie is not given much credit as well. While being a fully integral reason for the actual outcome of that series.

No, you’re giving the generous construction that Giannis is stating this matter of factly when we have multiple events and evidence to show that he doesn’t like Harden and was going at him as a personal attack.
Giannis took shots at Harden during the draft, this isn’t some “oh he’s discussing strategy in a vacuum” event.

Oh I can agree with all of that, I was just saying that if Curry had said that it basically would've been describing what we saw happen on the court. And you're right that Cleveland had overall better size than the Warriors which is why I never understood why some people were saying it was the Warriors' title to lose. For me it was a very even match that year. I think a big illusion with the Warriors was that they were this small ball 3 point team when a lot of their success came from the mid-range and they always had serviceable big men. I feel that not having a David West type player last year cost them dearly.

I've already stated earlier than everyone know that Giannis doesn't like Harden and that he's pissed off in that intw about the loss. And that people complain when players are all buddy-buddy and that people don't care about the game, but now that Giannis isn't buddy buddy and clearly cares (in that he's mad) about losing, yet they still complain lol. He's saying what commentators say sometimes in games when team A tries to exploit team B's perceived weakness. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Big deal
