NBA Presents: James Harden The Defensive Specialist

[kurt]

this makes no sense to me. Like Bruh, just watch your man and stop ball watching.

The effort is also . Have some pride my dude.

They had 3 minutes straight of dude biting on pumpfakes



What's funny is they left a lot of stuff out

 

[OTC]

If they included everything that clip would've been well over 30-40 minutes

 

[Broad Street Bully]

shyt looks like me when I first started out on 2k myplayer

real rap

 

[mvp_status]

And yet Id still happily take him with max contract on my team

That's only because Thibs a.k.a the God H-C has proven he can produce a top 3 defense regardless of who's on the court

 

[HiphopRelated]

May God guide Harden to Islam.

Islam needs defenders breh

1. This video couldn't have come out at a better time.
2. Kelvin Sampson talked about his defense a couple of weeks ago:

Fan and media standpoint, James Harden's defense comes up and is criticized often. What does he need to do on defense for this team to win big?

(Laughing) What does he have to do on defense? How about play some defense first. I get on James a lot about that. James is a 4th quarter defender. There is no perfect player. LeBron is the greatest player on the planet and has defensive lapses, especially this year but when it's nut-cuttin' time and time to win the game, LeBron guards and so does James. When James gets older and more mature and starts respecting the game more, which he'll do, all this is new to him, being the man, being the star. Next year, the season after, he'll start wrapping his head around playing both ends. Michael Jordan was the same way. Michael didn't guard his early years but then it became more important to him. That time will come for James. When he wants to, he is a tremendous defender. It'll become more important to him and he'll respect it more as he gets older.

So you feel there is something inside him that he'll realize that he needs to play a certain level of defense.

I do. Your question is a fair question. Can't tell you how many film edits I've gotten of him where he's ball watching and his guy back cuts him. He knows it. There's a lot of responsibility on that young man on offense. Our offense is James Harden a lot of nights. ... Right now, he values offense more than defense but that time will come when he values both.

(and yeah I stole the short transcript from another board

I'm mad you made this thread before me..... (I had it planned better)




It was gon go something like this:


Title: Why the fukk do nikkas keep talking about how BAD James Harden's defense is... Seriously....?


Body: WTF are yall watching? [WorldStart clip]

The nikka LITERALLY plays no fukking defense.... It's a difference between "bad" defense and NO defense... This nikka don't play any defense at ALL





Was gonna go something like that.... This nikka james hardine (sardine) is sickening and I don't know how anyone could be on a team with this character.... I would say I've never seen "defense" that bad, but I then remembered, he's not playing "defense" at all.... Bad defense is giving some type of effort but just sucking at it... This nikka just stands around, doesn't chase his man... wtf
