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

Mark Aguire/Ced Ceballos asz nikka

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.

Dudes wanna compare washed Harden to Peak Wade or whoever lol. Harden peaked higher than Wade anyway----->ultimately, he won't pass Wade on the historical hierarchy, but his entire 8-year run in Houston is iconic and he deserves his flowers for it

Where was wade without shaq and bron? Getting bounced early.

Stupid post, where was a player when he wasn't expected to win. Harden came in to the league gifted with 2 other future MVPs

Wade didn't leave a fukking decade's worth of disappointments attached to his name

 

[thenatural]

I'll never forget when Bomani said some years ago that Harden would be on the path to surpass GAWDbe. That's why I take everything these people say with a grain of salt.

Harden dominated the spurs to get to the finals. He was the closer on that team and the main ball handler in 4th quarters. The Heat gameplan was specifically to stop him.

After shaq left wade was floundering. He wouldnt sniff playoff success unless bron threw him that lifeline. He never led a team like Harden did. Harden should be a multiple time MVP. He wont win a ring but it happens.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Can’t believe we had clowns on here saying he is a better scorer than Kobe or a top 3 SG of all time. Just blasphemy.

And yes I’m talking about peak Harden too.

When has Harden lead a Michael Beasley level 2nd option?.....I'll wait

Floundering my ass. A washed Wade was a game from the ECF with all time greats like Dragic and Whiteside and your argument is he couldn't lead some decent nikkas in his prime?

Young Wade was closing out series with Shaq in a suit

fukk that fraud HArden, he's been gifted great teams his entire fukking career and never did shyt

What years was Harden expected to win besides the Chris Paul seasons? Even then, Golden State was mid-dynasty so the "expectation" was tempered...

Don't do this fam...

Wade got Shaq in Year fukking 2. The sane Shaq who many feel was rightful MVP in Wade's Y2. Even a diminishing Shaq brought an invaluable amount of experience, poise, and leadership for Wade to learn from and lean and grow on. When did Harden have that?

Wade choked like the rest of his Heat team in the '11 Finals, he gets missed because a player better than him was choking harder, but don't make me post Wade's 4th quarters in the last 3 games. Wade was never the guy to the level nikkas portray him as because if he was he doesn't fold like a cheap suit and he fukking stops the bleeding when Dallas went on that 21-4 or whatever run, and stops the bleeding in other instances Miami DESPERATELY needed somebody to step the fukk up...

After that he routinely became an availability question in the playoffs and he still got two titles out of it. If you want to criticize Harden for these last two years when he's clearly post-prime, Wade played for 5 more years once Bron left and never did anything of note again...

The Wade adoration is over the top. He was not a better basketball player than Harden. He did have that '06 run and Finals that I've said many times before, is the historical bar between he and Harden. Harden hasn't had one of those, it is what it is and it'll eternally keep him behind Wade. But Wade also benefitted from organizational structure Harden didn't have as well as two of the 10 greatest players ever buoying him for the championship success he saw, benefits Harden never had. Take away top shelf teammates and Harden's career was objectively better and as basketball players Harden was more durable prime-to-prime, had the higher peak of the two, and was the more dynamic hooper period...

Wade was a great player in his own right but yall be giving this nikka a level of greatness he wasn't at. He was great. He wasn't that great...

Shaq was putting up current Harden numbers in playoffs with Wade. Antooine Walker was the second leading scorer on that squad in the finals i believe.

But nobody ever says were would Wade be without walker. Why? because the argument would be laughed into the bushes. 2006 Wade carried a bunch of role players and washed stars including Shaq to the finals.
Harden had much more talent around him on this squad then Wade did in 2006.

Harden needs to come back next season chiseled and in top condition and ball out.

Or if he don’t give a fukk about basketball anymore, retire

Harden is gonna be in the clubs breh. Plus his game was never the same after he purposely got flabby in Houston. He was never in the greatest shape to begin with. At his age, there’s nowhere to go but downhill.

Harden just might officially earn his flattop next season.
