The blind hate for Harden around here is absurd.

He's the closest to 1994 Hakeem, 2003 Duncan and 2011 Dirk. One-man led team that made it to Finals in the more difficult Western Conference.

We saw how Durant failed by himself in 2013.
We saw how Westbrook (biggest fraud in NBA) failed by himself in 2017.
We saw how Curry failed by himself without Kerr as coach and Green in starting lineup in 2013 and 2014.

Harden can get buckets but him being the best scorer in the league or even close is a myth. He's in the second tier with Jimmy and Kawhi. He does inflate it with his foul calls which is a good thing usually until he absolutely needs a bucket which in that scenario it just isn't reliable enough. On the other hand he's probably a top 3 play maker in the league and still isn't respected as such even after leading the league in assists.

You have never in your life heard anyone say Harden can't ball. Never.

Dude doesn't play D, is a fifa-esque flopper, and truth be told cares more about strip clubs than hooping. Also as much as I encourage any black man to get his bag he's really gonna plug HOU up for a minute. Not my team but you still want your investment to win not just put up stats

great scorer but in the clutch harden is soft. this is why kobe n mj are in their own leagues. klay thompson is the most effective two guard in the leauge

You're not winning jack shyt with him as your main option because it's just a job to dude (Which isn't a BAD thing. Uber competitiveness ain't for everybody), but his stats look pretty. :yeshrug:
well he made it to western conference finals with dwight as his 2nd best player

you can't win championship with james harden yet because he is not a generational talent like shaq, timmy, bron, kobe, who won multiple championships

if he had a stacked team where he didnt have to do all the playmaking and scoring duties he could possibly win championship in a sort of paul pierce role where was supposed to be main scoring option, even though KG was the soul of that team.

but them warriors and cavs are just too good :francis:

Not really. Harden can hoop but he's overrated and plays for the whistle almost every play (and most of the time he's flopping and initiating the contact himself). I dont like his game, not too mention how he disappears.

I'm usually all for shytting on the mob mentality and shyt nikkas swear by with 0 basis but um did you see game 6 @neko_804 ? :francis: If anything he's getting off pretty light for a disappearance of that magnitude. His team had a legit shot at the CFs with Kawhi hobbled and got ran off the floor at home and that may not even be his worst elimination game performance :francis:.
