    What has he accomplished? A former 6th man;a Melo-like ball-stoper; never play defense. Played terrible at the okc finals.Let's face it, rockets was desperate to "make" a superstar. Have you ever heard any team pick a 6th man as their foundation player?

    Because he was like 3rd in the league in scoring and he scores incredibly efficiently.

    What a terrible question.

    He has proved he can be the number one option. I haven't really figured out if he is super star status or in the group of players like Danny granger.

    He helped us get another faux superstar in Howard

    + he's got a cool beard.

    but its too early to call him a complete dud yet. He's young and he can change his ways... however, I don't see it happening under this coach.

    McHale aint no Zen Master
    Harden aint no MJ

    He can score a lot of points, had the green light when he came off bench in okc. In Houston had the green light more mins while game which equals to more points. He can put up numbers on the score board he is a super star top 5 in espn rankings

    Mostly Rox fans think Harden is a superstar, most fans outside Houston do not think so.

    But Harden is an offensive star.

    He asked a reasonable question. When doc went to LA he told cp3 "sok you not have done anything"

    When harden came to Houston, he got superstar treatment from day one.

    How to identify a crazy LOF:
    by Reach

    Rule #1:

    Frequently uses cute catch phrases like "LOH", "ABJ" to reinforce their feelings of victim-hood and to justify their frequent jabs at other players. Also look out for terms like "McFail," and "team-ball."


    Rule #2:

    Takes non-subtle jabs at players who are seen as Lin's "competitors" on the team. Harden and Beverley are most frequently the targets in this instance, but anyone else who's seen as 'mistreating' Lin (Dwight, Parsons, Mchale, Morey) may be targeted at any time.

    Rule #3:

    Is seen frequently complaining about Lin's status as "whipping boy" whenever he is criticized while simultaneously and hypocritically taking every opportunity to bash Lin's 'competitors'.

    This. ^

    The tone is obvious, but so is the OP's join-date (September 2002).

    To reinforce the LOF thing, easily 25% of the crowd at Toyota Center was Asian, so it was clear who they were there to see.

    I sat in a section of primarily Lin groupies. They cheered the Clippers as much as they cheered Lin or the Rockets.

    Then you get stupid questions like this and not, "Why did Jeremy play with his head ensconced in his a$$ in the second half?"
