Harden on MVP: “I need it” :stopitslime:

[Brozay]

I mean...this ring > stats and MVPs is some wack ass NBA fan shyt...just because Jordan came along and won 6 straight...people wanna act like rings make you a better player than someone...

Everybody with a non-fan brain knows that rings are a team achievement...

Stats and MVPs are an individual achievement...

An MVP means more as a player...it means you are like a top 100 player in league history..

A ring means you was on a great team...

being 'the man' on a title team is a bit different than just being a role player on a title team

 

[viktordoomsecretwars]

It would be nice if the PLAYERS got a say as to who is the MVP of the league instead of some geek looking cacs who have never bounced a basketball in anger before let alone played the game.

lmaooooooooooooo

 

[MoneyTron]

Not really...

How many great players won a ring in their prime and didn't do some ring chasing...

The list is long...

They might have been great, but almost if not all of the greatest ie the top of the top, did.

Being a man on a title team still ain't gonna put you over an MVP player...

Paul Pierce ain't better than Charles Barkley...

KD going to the warriors and beating washed up cavs teams devalued the price of rings

Harden knows that multiple mvps is gonna put him in the ATG category

All the young guns know that the easiest way to become a superstar (get your own shoe, endorsement deals) and build your narrative is to put up gawdy stats and win individual awards

Case and point: Westbrook's net worth is 125 million while dwade's net worth is 120

In 30 years Westbrook is probably gonna be rated higher cause he was a triple double machine (although this is not true)

Wtf, breh KD’s rings are devalued. Getting a ring isn’t devalued tho, still the top thing you can do in the sport. Were rings devalued when Bron and Bosh hopped on in Miami?

How many people bringing up Nash with his multiple MVPs? In no way do any individual awards supersede rings.

Right...rings don't mean shyt. Chase individual awards and concede the ships to the Warriors.

Has to be some of the stupidest shyt, WPOY race starting early I see.

 

[THE MACHINE]

I like this kinda talk

Put these other dudes on notice

 

[FS4LFE]

Maybe if y'all would stop acting like this fool and his fraudulent ass squad ain't missed 27 straight 3s to choke away a 3-2 lead in the conference finals then these players and commentators could get it through their thick skulls that these individual, isolated awards, especially those for the meaningless ass regular season, don't mean jack shyt without the context surrounding them and the overall season of the player who receives them. Who gives a shyt about how many 40 pt games Harden has right now when we're only halfway through the season and the refs are whistling for him night in and night out, when we know he's going to flame out come May when it matters? Because THAT's Harden's legacy as of now, regular season MVP awards and scoring averages be fukking damned

Cool. Harden has his flaws. So does every player. He could be the perfect player but his team isn’t beating the Warriors. Yeah the Rockets choked. So what? Would you rather Harden demand a trade to a different team? Y’all go way too invested in this.

[The Connoisseurs]

I don’t think he was talking about the MVP
Award









Yah mean

 

[CSquare43]

This is a pretty weak reason to hate on harden

My dislike of Harden's game is documented. I'm a card carrying member. But yeah, not sure how/why this is a story.....

The greatest players usually have all of them.

agreed

rings are a matter of circumstance, but no one ever won a fukkin mvp because they got lucky

 

[Buckeye Fever]

The greatest player in NBA history was the 2nd option on his team, won 6 NBA titles, is known for his long arms, top tier defense, and told Phil Jackson straight up, "I ain't goin' back in" when he drew up a play for a Croatian who lucked up and made the shot.

Oh, fukk Future, fukk Hugh Collins, and Isaiah Thomas(Zeke)

And nikkas dapped this idiot up

 

[KOBE]

man Harden gets so much hate here lmao

dude is on a tear right now, deserves more respect

He gets hate everywhere and including from the media. He games the system with the way he knows how to get fouls in cheap ways(those are legitimate fouls when he hooks the arms of defenders because the defender's arm shouldn't be there in the first place, but it's still seen as a dirty tactic as HE'S hooking their arm) and people do not like watching free throws.

They took out hack-a-shaq because it was awful to watch. It's no different when Harden is doing it.
