Never compare Harden to D Wade ever again

[Art Barr]

Nothing will ever work for Harden. Yall already gave up on Zion but cape for Harden. This bullshyt narrative has been going on for 10 years now. It's over

I am still a zion fan tho.
Not a harden fan.
So I am not the guy to witch hunt.
I feel you on the blasphemy of the harden Wade comparison.

Only way harden would be comparable to wade in a timeline comparison. Was if he willed the thunder over bron.
after he bested the spurs to get in the finals.
Other than that.
after that window was closed shut.
I don't see how Wade was ever brought up.

in comparison to harden back then to begin with.

so i am with you on this.

The comparison was a bullshyt hot take. Where rhe stench'y funk still has to be dispelled a decade or so later.

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...

Still covering for Harden? I guess one more flameout is needed.

Wade heads are funny as fukk ...

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Harden might be a little more naturally talented but Wade had more drive and success.

If Harden had Wade's heart/soul, he'd have a ring by now. Harden's body language and off the court antics always give the impression he's just there to cash checks and be a really good but not great player. Doesn't have to be true but once you get a narrative, it's hard to shake.

Dirk was an eternal gym rat that had the reputation of a choker even though he averaged 25/10 for his playoff career (watch his highlights cooking prime KG in the '02 playoffs). Winning the ring changes a lot.

Harden doesn't do anything better than Wade except shoot the 3.

nikkas think this is close...?

[Killer Instinct]

If his harden plays point and they get a real big with coach bud.
This could be what works for harden.

You people are insane.

Whole thread is trash.





At least Harden isn’t a fakkit.





TWade?

flashier handle does not equal better handle. Even if his handle was better, the fukk is Harden doing with it ?

what is your definition of flashy¿

him being all time shifty is what allows for him to get so many threes off even being tightly guarded

[KnickstapeCity]

Knicks should go after Harden

 

[knickscrusaderm]

Knicks should go after Harden

Sure, let's give up Brunson, IQ, and Mitch to secure him

We'll have his flashy handles and Randle's all-nba game carry us to the promised land .

flashy = looks good, makes all the cameras and highlight reels go crazy.

Harden is so shifty he's been shifted out of the playoffs by a Spurs team with 40 year old manu leading them, the warriors after his team missed 27 straight threes, and recently up 3-2 vs a Boston team led by a serial killer .

Harden is the greatest basketball grifter we've ever seen, nothing more nothing less
