Popovich agrees ... and *this* was 2 yrs ago Popovich spoke with the media stating that during this time of the season, he actually does not watch game tape - except for one team that resides up Interstate 10 and boasts a bearded NBA MVP candidate. "Except for the Rockets," Popovich said to the media in Los Angeles before Thursday's game against the Clippers. "(James) Harden is ridiculous." Not the Warriors, not the Cavs, not the Clippers, or the Jazz - the Rockets and Harden.
It's even better because he even specifically mentioned Lebron and KD and said Harden was more difficult to defend. Not sure how you say that with Lebron on your team, but ok.
That's exactly why he said it lol, he knows Lebron can't torch him for saying that unless it's in practice.
Well, if it were Kobe, that kid's life on that team would be hell because there'd be no escaping him. lol
Harden is the hardest cause hes the one that can make you look silly with his change of pace handles. With kd and bron, they just score on you. Harden scores and can And-1 your ankles.
Harden is probably the craftiest player in NBA history. There are guys who are more talented, but Harden finds ways to get defenders off balance better than ANYBODY. Aside from him quitting a few years ago, it's been a pleasure watching him play as a Rocket
