With the way the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder are playing, it is going to be hard to argue against Tony Parker and Russell Westbrook. Chris Paul is also quite deserving and the Clips are playing well. You can't forget about Dwyane Wade. I think these are the 4 most deserving guys. Kobe will probably bump one of them down to the all NBA third team. You can make a case that Harden deserves to be one the first team with the way he is playing, and I won't argue that point, but I don't think he gets the 1st or 2nd team based on how the Rockets have played overall. More than likely, he makes the all NBA 3rd team.
Kobe wins player of the month, even though Harden has had a much better statline throughout the month. Wow, just wow
now that tony parker is gunna be out for 4 weeks harden should have a better chance of getting on the first team.. though i still think it will be kobe and cp3 before him, even if harden is more deserving than kobe (which IMO, he is)
It really has nothing to do about how a player's team is doing, is more about how a player is doing and helping his team. Parker is doing a lot and will probably win it over him. Russel, not so much. Durant and the team around him is the reason they're good. I have nothing against Russel, I just hate ball hogs who shoot a lot. I haven't seen Russel play this year, just a few games. But a few times i've seen him, I just can't stand his game. Tony Parker would be my choice over him and Harden, he's done a lot for his team. And Kobe might win it over Harden too, he is a having a very good season, it pretty much depends who makes the playoffs and plays with all their hearts for their team. But Harden can win it over Russel Westbrook easily.
Rockets move to 7th. Bucks beat Jazz. Bucks win 4th straight. Monta Ellis 34 points 4 rebounds 3 assist 1 block in OT win. #RealNBAFans
Probably 3rd team, maybe left off? Seems absurd. One of these guys is getting left off. Chris Paul Dwyane Wade Kobe Bryant James Harden Tony Parker Russell Westbrook Stephen Curry Made Chris Broussard's 3rd team.
Harden definitely belongs ahead of Westbrook and Curry. Maybe ahead of Kobe too but that's debatable. Paul, Wade and Parker are locks.
How does a team with two All NBA first team players end up fighting to make the playoffs? Broussard is always entertaining.
Harden is a luxury player who is crap at defense and his inconsistency in offense means no all-star team.
