First thing is, if you don't respect James Harden's game in terms of the way it looks...or if you think it's gimmicky...that's fine. That's a matter of personal preference that doesn't really address his effectiveness in his prime.

But James Harden 3-5 years ago was absolutely a star and a fantastic scorer. And it was right to praise him and compare him to other great players back then.

That said, James Harden in 2022 looks like a shell of himself. He's out of shape. He plays uninspired basketball. He looks unmotivated.
Put things in the proper context though. Don't compare this James Harden to the best version of your favorite heroes of yesteryear.

He reminds you of some random nikka from the 70s that scored a bunch of points but never won or amounted to shyt, and was lost to history….but at least those cats had cocaine addictions to blame
This sounds like you want to make someone specific

We never said James Harden wasn't a star. But even 3-5 years ago, you had 5-8 years of Harden being the most playoff shrinkable superstar arguably ever. And he's recently been given a thread to make an All-Time comparison to Wade and Iverson (who, while somewhat overated, I'm taking over him).

Point out the egregiousness is deserved.

He was one of my favorite players ever. But he’s 13 years in as been doing the same disappearing act for a decade now. Every fukking year...one way or another he goes out like a sucker. Dude said in his post interview “the ball just didn’t find me” wtf does that even mean? nikka u the primary ballandler
