Harden on Giannis: “I wish I could just run and just dunk. That takes no skill at all.”

It's subtle but Harden is saying:

"I'm upset
Fifty thousand on my head, it's disrespect
So offended that I had to double check
I'ma always take the money over sex
That's why they need me out the way
What you expect?"

"I'm upset
Hunnid thousand on my head, it's disrespect
So offended that I had to double check
You tryna check?
This is real life, *****s think we playin' chess
So what's next?
Jump up out the bed like I'm possessed
I go out on tour and I say I'm drinkin' less
End up gettin' loose and gettin' pictures from my ex
SMS, triple X
That's the only time I ever shoot below the neck (skrr)
Why you keep on shootin' if you know that ____ dead? (Skrr)
That's the only kind of **** that gets you some respect"


"Got a lot of blood and it's cold
They keep tryna get me for my soul (for my soul)
Thankful for the women that I know (that I know)
Can't go fifty-fifty with no hoe"

Harden's loyalty is tied with his work ethic as to why he's one of the greatest.

 

I doubt Giannis will play in that game. More than likely the Bucks will have already won the Eastern Conference by that point, so they'll start resting a lot of their stars against the tougher teams.

 

it’s actually pretty easy to stop Giannis. All we gotta do is force him to post up from way out of the paint. U take away the paint this guy is so ineffective. I think Boston might beat them tho in Ecf.

 

Rachel prob so excited she got such a big story line out of this ****. Espn got all the clicks they were missing post allstar game

 

Harden should never do any interviews with Rachel Nichols, she's just looking to stir **** up. Gotta be smarter than that.

 

They agree with Harden 1000%. They said Giannis way out of line cuz no matter what people think of Harden he is still a lot better than freaking Kemba Walker. Secondly Harden is justified to defend himself cuz Giannis took 2 shots at him already. Third Harden led the league in assists and is already a good defender so Harden was right when he said he didnt get the joke.

They kinda left out the most important part which is Giannis arguably choked harder than Harden in the playoffs which is why he cant be throwing **** at Harden in the first place. At least KD won a ring first before he started shooting his mouth all over the place Giannis has been acting like trash just cuz he won an MVP.

 

??? Harden is justified to defend himself after Giannis took 2 unprovoked blows at him in public. Listen to Harden's comments he already decided to get back at Giannis if he ever got asked those werent off the cuff remarks.

If anything Barkley is the one who should be getting hate cuz he suddenly called Harden "the Dribbler" when Harden didnt do anything to him and egged Giannis on to make fun of Harden for no reason.

 

They're also playing one of the softest schedules the NBA has seen in years.

 

I agree he is justified in saying what he's saying. I'm just saying I don't think it's very smart strategically. At the end of the day, its his choice of course.

 

Yeah cuz strategically the smart thing to do when somebody keeps making cheap shots at you is take it like a b****. Cuz you know bullies stop when you don't stand up to them and people respect those who let everybody push them around.

Harden isnt trying to be the NBA's golden boy like Lebron or Curry he isnt obligated to take the high road all the time. And he shouldn't.

 

Meh. Everyone's highlights look great, and everyone's lowlights look horrible.

Giannis took cheap shots during a national telecast. Not sure how Harden standing up for himself was a dumb strategic move.

 

Why do you keep posting that same video?

It literally wasn't his fault. He had 2 guys on him and passed it to Howard, who was wide open for the shot, yet Howard passed it back to Harden knowing he had 2 guys on him instead of shooting that wide open 3pt shot. And Harden was getting hacked by 2 guys, which should have resulted him getting free throws.

 

This cannot be denied.

 

He didnt set that course

 

Let's get real folks. I have found the source of the endless Giannis salt mine regarding Harden. It's because he can't play 5-out on this Rockets team.

If Giannis is on this version of the Rockets, he's fighting with Thabo, Uncle Jeff, Carroll for the role of Covington's backup. His 31% three point shooting makes him a bit of an anchor on offense. Players will cheat off him.

IF you replaced Russ with him, it's a different story, as he can take up the "nonshooter" slot. But, Russ has been playing pretty well lately, so I'm loathe to make that switch.

Sorry Giannis, no room for you here. Try to get over it, you've got a nice little team up there in....*checks notes* .... Milwaukee.

 

Yes Harden proved he wasn't a b**** by coming back at Giannis through the media. But his comments will probably inspire Giannis to play even better than he already is. I don't think giving your opponent more motivation to destroy you and play better than you is a good idea. Guess he had no other choice.

 

Yeah if only zion was white he might get more hype
