It is funny the whole strip club shtick used against Harden as if this nygga ain't spend the last 5 full seasons averaging 79 games played per year, at 37 mpg. Last year he played in 68 of HOU's 72 at 36.5 mpg. Basically he's more durable and reliable to be on the floor than most other star players, regardless of what he does after games.

And sure he's failed as a #1 option to win a championship... just like every other mf'er not named Lebron... KD... Curry... Kawhi... since 2012.

It's like the ppl who were clowning Giannis for "not having what it takes", but then got shook and outraged at the thought of him joining Golden State. Well go ahead and pair Harden up with another top 3 player in their prime like what KD got with Steph, or a hovering top 5'ish like Lebron got with AD...

The issue is this dude is usually gassed every postseason.

He ain’t a bad postseason player at all, but he has dramatic losses and usually tires. That year where they got smoked by a Kawhi-less Spurs at home is a major black Mark.

don’t know about international

But I love it. U can download games. The streams have 5 resolutions to choose from. Perfect for me at work , because there is no way my signal at my job can smoothly run 720p HD. Also Comcast is onboard with nba tv. So now I have access to every televised game on the go.

I'm illegally streaming half this shyt cause nba hasn't thought about making random teams available in the popular broadcasts so I can't watch my squad. Then another thing is this 7 or 8 o'clock games are at 3 or 4 am in the morning so only die hard fans catching them.

There's another tier they can access

I'm literally the furthest thing from a Harden stan, and I feel sick typing this: reading all the comments on this board and elsewhere, Harden is being ridiculously underrated, and folks are completely exaggerating the [negative] effect he'd have on a team.
:picard: Never thought I’d see the day.

Has more to do with his style of play and the amount of minutes he plays a season than it does his extracurriculars.

Something about the perception. I'm a wizards fan and I've loved john wall. But bro was out in the club a lot. Sure he's free and can do whatever and he's a gamer. But the work ethic difference and lifestyle choices Russ had vs him is night and day and the numbers reflect. And then the influence on rookies. For instance Deni says he's a homebody. Now imagine wall out all the time and that's his vet.

Granted I thought wall has changed having kids and mom dying. But he was still out throwing big Bs.

So Harden beasting and I get he gets his work in and produces. Wall too. But franchises looking for examples to younger players. I love wall but technically theres something Russ brings despite the fact I thought he'd have lower iq and shot selection. And part of that is dedication.

I had the Mumbai League Pass last season for $14.

I think if his people are healthy...he has a fukking good lineup if he isn't thinking about himself.
Wall if healthy he's a beast
Harden
pJ tucker defending smaller players
Christian wood is very good and coming up
Cousins.

Harden should stop throwing fits and assess how healthy thes people's are.

He has a team with him if healthy.


I think the issue is his play style that's not team friendly.
