    Nah he compares him to Melo because he believes they are both way over rated players, who don't make others better and that you can't build around either one. Of course JD just tried to set him straight but it won't change.

    Trust me he has an unhealthy hatred for Harden it's weird.

    He compared Harden with Melo by saying they aren't players you build around.

    And what makes you think I'm freaking out... I'm chill:cool:

    Nice takes from Dudley. He is a good role player. Would be great on the Rockets.

    I like Colin Cowherd but don't always agree with his takes. And usually when a player gets on his bad side, that player stays there. Colin just isn't a fan of Harden and that isn't going to change.

    And it's funny how Colin lead his question with his bias against Harden and got swatted back by Dudley's response. Players respect Harden. Maybe Colin should reconsider his judgements.

    You can tell Cowherd wanted to so badly for Dudley to say something negative about Harden to validate his stance lol.

    Cowherd is a buffoon who just wants to be the next Skip Bayless

    Colin Cowturd was disrespectful of Harden. I think Dudley was, by and large, very respectful.

    He sounds like a Rocket because he treats himself as an asset.

    You can't build a contender around Harden. He is only averaging 32/9/7 on 50% shooting in the WCF against a team loaded with guys who supposedly can slow him down.

    Horrible player.

    And to give you an idea of Colin Cowturd's sports knowledge here were some of his other takes:

    - Biggio isn't a true HOF, he just played a long time
    - Watt is overrated and overpaid
    - Harden and Dwight aren't true superstars.

    Seriously..I will sound like a crazy now but if Dudley was a Rocket I guarantee he would be the fan favorite of this forum. As he has been in every team he has played except his one year at the Clippers. The guy is just too smart and too wellspoken. He's my most favourite role player.

    Good take and he's very well spoken. People forget that Harden was the vocal leader on the last Team USA. The guy is well respected by players.
