Westbrook may not have had conventional shooters, but McDermott, Kanter, Oladipo, Gibson and Adams are players that can put it in the basket. 2

Nope. Gretzky has 4 rings. 9

Those people see him as the next Paul George. Perennial all-star and in the conversation for an all-defense team when at his best. 1

Your wife should be enough. 0

Schwag - James Harden 1

Its possible, but we wouldnt know so theres really no point in discussing it unless some family member somehow snitches. 1

The less Kyrie has the ball, the more Tatum shines. 1

How is that not a tech on Bron? 8

Every Manimal dunk is Luke Walton inching closer to the door. 7

The historic season won in 16-17, so if the voters are consistent, it should win again this year. Whats a shame is that Harden an historic season too in 16/17. 5

Imagine resting LeBron/Kawhi/etc for the only game he plays in London in the year 1

No. 3

Harden.Roughly 8-9 games back from the Bucks, missing the 2nd, 3rd and 4th best player on his team for weeks in the stronger conference, while playing above average defense and historically elite offensive numbers. 1

Ive put him there despite not listing him at all at first because of the most upvoted comment in the thread, but I couldnt find video evidence. 1

Thank you for that, Ill change it. 5

Vincent Goodwill, Scottie Pippen, Jason Kidd, Dennis Scott , Drew Goodon, Max Kellerman, Steve Smith, Richard Jefferson & Reggie Miller are all from the last 5 days or so. Goodwill, Kidd, Scott being from the last 2 days. So youre wrong. Id link all t 3

Man came to work sipping a glass of wine. Cant get much more Hollywood than that. 2

Lavars only Ls hes taken are from his & his sons names 1

Between his resignation and LeBron having trouble getting players for Space Jam, you can definitely reach far enough to get to that conclusion. 0

No.... Im calling this logic a reach. 1

Maybe he meant as in Spain as one team and then the rest of the Europe as another team (French, Slovenians & Serbians) 0

Philly booed Santa Claus 0

How has he been better than Harden in the last 2 years? 1

No but if yall could crowdsource a max contract for me that would be awesome thanks. 1

No way 1

Yall were waiting for this so hard. Fuck r/nba for real. 0

fuck r/nba 1

Shut your bitchass up 1

KD is the only superstar ever other than Wilt that can only put up big numbers in losses and still be called the 2nd best player in the world. 0

Houston is already a weak rebounding team. Losing Capelas rebounding ability would hurt so much. Relying on Tucker and Harden to get rebounds means theyll have less energy on the offensive end. 1

In the conversation for best player in the league with 5 other guys. 1

If anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, its LeBron. Lets wait still 1

Every single team that can money wise. And the ones that cant would do what they can to put themselves to get him too. 1

Hes already a hero 9

Yeah but uncontested dunks 1

Which is crazy how Shaq bullied Dwight into thinking he didnt have any post moves to the point where Dwight would refuse to play pick n roll in favor of postups. 1

People are downvoting but youre right. Harden was going toe to toe with Durant before he got injured. Giannis couldnt keep up with Kawhi. Giannis is clearly behind the top 5. LeBron, KD, Kawhi, Curry and Harden. 9

Most definitely. 1

Hes a grown man. 1

Damn I missed that. Ill take the L. 8

Trying too hard to play point guard because he has the title 20

You clearly didnt watch the game you bum -1

MVP like James. 2

MVP 4

Harden stans never gild any posts lol. We dont even gild his highlights. FOH 4

Gets doubled and denied the ball from inbounds. Hes just strong and big enough to get the ball around it. 0

They were heading down that path even with Curry. Surprise MVP campaign my ass. Feel bad for the people that bet for the Warriors to sneak into the playoffs. -16

The 3-1 Rockets? The 36ppg James Harden lead Houston Rockets? -12

I mean handchecking isnt allowed so thats definitely a foul if Harden goes in a shooting motion, which he did. 0

Yes. The narrative in the league was that you couldnt touch Jordan without being called for a foul. 24

Jordan definitely kicked out his legs and snapped his head back. -2

Harden drives more than anyone else in the league, so the slasher argument makes no sense. 2

No. 1

More like NBA refs are holding a grudge against the Rockets protest + Harden isnt attacking the rim as much because his shot is falling way more right now 1

Doncic easily. Is that what you want? Now gtfo. 1

Rockets won. Fuck off OP 1

This is cruel. 2

then fuck that all star 12

What would be a trade package equivalent to this one when LeBron was in his 2nd year? 2

and yet this sub loves Embiid & Giannis and loved D Wade. 1

I see what you mean OP. It is condescending in a way, but at the same time its also **mostly** playful and not ill-intended. Theyre not trying to bring their teammates down, but it definitely reminds them that they are inferior. 1

I respect the audacity lmao 2

Too late bossman 4

Is this r/NBA or TMZ 6

Tatum>Simmons>Ingram for me. 24

A good ass player 1

If CP3 could beat his man off the dribble, hed still be on the Rockets. 5

Yes, the casuals were so busy hating, they never saw the genius in his game. 0

Some of those passes were off, but its also clear that at this point DJ has barely to no athleticism left in him to convert those lobs 1

Also jumps into players on his floaters 0

Feels like a cheap copout. If CP3 can co-exist with Harden and Devin Booker was known for being really food offball, there’s no excuse. 3

>If James Hardens name was LeBron James he would be leading MVP candidate right now. And he is not an all star starter lol. Media keeps robbing this guy of all kinds of awards and it just keeps and keeps happening. If Harden, lets say, deserves Finals 0

This subs leans more towards LeBron than against him. Get over yourself. -5

Los Angeles Victims back at it. -1

MVP is a regular season award. -2

He is though. -2

If LeBron can win MVPs playing for Miami, theres no reason Curry, Durant and Harden cant be in the MVP race when they are/were on superteams as well. OP is 100% right. -4

Adam Silver said no. 2

Boring as hell to watch too 0

Theyre not. Lakers fans just cant accept losing legitimately. 1

Shut the fuck up 2

Hornets say no 1

Nah 4

Reddit hates black people. Its the same on r/soccer anytime the topic of racism or representation of black coaches comes up. -5

Danny Ainge is the one that needs to step down or at least have other people around him to challenge his decisions. Brad Stevens shouldnt be moved at all. 1

Your sense of humour is horrible. -2

What about that question required hard hitting analysis? Are you dumb? -1

THE oHiO STaTe! 0

I know you got clowned earlier, but Harden is definitely more humble than most stars, but I think it has to do with his playoffs shortcomings as well. him asking out of Houston was more out of character than in character despite what other posters have 6

I agree. Most of the time it comes off as fake anyways. 0

wait Ive seen this before 2

Yes the Giannis one especially. -2

Yes. 36 pts and 7.5 assists in much tougher Western conference on a much worse team. 1

Facts. If LeBron, Lillard or Curry put up those stats theyd be unanimous MVP 2

Caruso is the Lingard of the NBA and McGee is the Phil Jones of the NBA. 0

Cant quantify narrative. 2

CP3 and Booker > Dame and CJ as of right now. 7

>His personality seems fine on the Nets to me. He went AWOL before the Harden trade. Hes a great guy and I love him, but he can definitely be seen as problematic at times lets be honest. 2

He is a basketball genius. 1

Watch the games. 1

Hes really not. 2

Posts that are just there to suck off LeBron. -1

She is 100% right that it shouldnt be acceptable, but Nick Young also has a point. They do that shit for other "lower level" sports where their facilities for both genders will be jokes because the money investment isnt worth it. Hell they probably outr 15

Ok. 2

James Harden: Leads the league in assists and did so even when he "quit" in Houston 25.5 - 8 - 11 Same record as LeBron and the Lakers 14-1 without KD. -6

Count them in his record then. If Harden finishes 4 games ahead of LeBron that wont matter by that point. -3

Harden > Kawhi Kyrie > PG 0

To extend Giannis and show him that they were trying to be good and compete. 1

Both. Especially if the Heat get Lowry. 3

Better than Frail Curry. -1

Still better. 0

3 more years of cost control. 1

LeMao take 2. 1

The truth is, none of them match well and theyll all lose in a best of 7 against the Nets once theyre healthy. 1

Were not the Warriors, but were way better than the Bucks, Sixers and Heat. Theres no point in continuing this argument, well see when the playoffs come around. 1

Dont worry he wont. 2

Further than Curry. 3

Watch the game. The refs were calling everything tonight. Harden fouled out and got a tech too. 1

n/a 1

No but the win against Portland despite his bad shooting night did. 1

We dont have Roberson anymore. 3

Unanimous MVP as the 4th seed in the West and 6th seed overall. Come on man.... 3
