    Crazy how Chriss once said Harden was no good because all he does is shoot free thows

    That’s one of the most respectful interviews I have ever seen.

    I feel like players never really talk **** about Hardens game, it's mostly social media.

    Harden plays a very physical game and seeks a lot of contact, it might look floppy from the outside but when you are in there with him and takes hits from him it doesn't seem all that soft.

    I took it as:

    The game is becoming garbage, it's catching up to James Harden.

    Harden Diss.

    I didn't even expect him to be able to string together such coherent sentences. Pleasantly surprised.

    Imagine being like this lmao. I mean, people have picked some pretty dumb hills to die on, but “James Harden isn’t good” has to be one of the dumbest.

    I had to stop at the lady's question. I'm sick of questions like that. You would think Harden was the only guy to ever go to the free-throw line. A-holes.

    Glad Chriss is making some sense. He played like he was stoned when he was here.

    Agree-- pretty coherent interview and a lot of good points. Gamesmanship is part of the game.

    Other parts of the game-- refs swallow their whistle in the playoffs; moving screens are not going to be called (Warriors 2010- current); opponents can be out of bounds and maintain possession (Mavs- Stackhouse- 2005); players can screen maul defenders (Mailman on Drexler '97)

    The interviewers are either Warriors employees or fans. That’s why they are so biased. To be fair, we aren’t much better when discussing Warrior players.

    If the world economy somehow gets back to normal and NBA is open for business, Chriss would be the best available free agent with the departure of Covington and J. Green.

    You're probably right about them being Warriors' fans. In that case it makes it easier to swallow. But it still sucks to hear stuff like that all the time when Harden is so damn gifted.
