I've never seen a pro athlete shyt on his sport more than James Harden shyts on the game of basketball. Everything he does revolves around traveling and flopping but the NBA keeps rewarding this guy by not calling his 3+ step drives and sending him to the free throw line.
:dwillhuh:
when did hell did it become the cool thing on here to hate on James Harden? traveling?? the nikka has some of the most effective penetrating games in the NBA and is so deliberate and calculated with his steps that I rarely ever see a travel call. not to mention he can shoot the shyt out of the basketball.

this is common place from him.

Face it haters, James Harden is just HARD to guard:bryan:

I know it's annoying but he pretty much mastered a few moves and can't nobody stop it. If the euro step is a travel they soon ban it like Iversons cross over:manny:

And all you criticizing harden getting foul calls and passing to teammates at the last minute better not be Kobe fans :comeon:

Lol I thought I was the only one who caught on to that.
Nah I been holding the fort down since 2011.
whats with this board turn on james harden?

the hate didnt come to that ranking came out

Everyone now seeing the light. It took them some time, but they here now.:shaq:

If defenders were smarter, hardens game wouldn't work. I don't know why people blame harden or the refs that these gambling undisciplined defenders are getting exposed. He's not a dishonest classless fakkit like Derek Fisher. He really is getting hacked on these drives.

No. Him getting fined twice for flopping says otherwise (plus he should have been fined last season). Does he get hacked on drives, yes it's inevitable, however more often than not he's accentuating any lil contact to levels of pure ridiculousness or he's just creating the act of getting hacked out of thin air, just to get a call.

He HAS flopped, so has just about everyone else in the league. Thing is, Harden is exploiting the rules for perimeter players in a similar way to prime Wade. Uneducated fans say they're just flopping and getting fellated by refs but educated basketball fans know better. If a perimeter player routinely drives to the basket with a purpose and exposes the ball to defenders while maintaining good balance and footwork to avoid charges, he's going to get a ton of calls because he is going to be fouled often.

This is the coli. You can't have a negative opinion without identifying your team so awkward unfitting comparisons can be made.

Oh gtfoh with this bullshyt. This is just all types of wrong. He's been warned TWICE for flopping, it only makes sense that he does it during drives too (because anybody with any cotdamn sense can see he does). It's hard for refs to distinguish during the play to see how much if any over the line contact is made. I bet if they could video replay every single time he got sent to the free throw line, a GOOD percentage of them would be overturned.
