    Aside from thinking kellerman is a racist. One could argue that long term choosing luka over harden might b the smarter choice to "build a team" since luka is younger and can still improve while harden is getting older but still great. But if u were like h2h at this moment who would u choose to help win a ring now, u pretty dam bias if u aint picking harden. The man is insane at the moment.

    my theory is westbrook just like derrick rose before him were just pawns to keep harden and lebron from winning another mvp. The year LeBron lost to Rose his advanced stats were better, and the year Harden lost to westbrook they changed the rules to keep Harden from getting his first. Its all about controlling the narrative, If Zach Lavine had the season harden had in 2019 he would have won mvp over Giannis. Believe it or not, the nba doesnt see Harden as marketable

    Harden is right there with Giannis as the best player in the league according to most if not all advanced metrics. Luka is being carried by the mavs who boasts a solid 5.5 srs when he sits, at this point in time, luka is overrated. His impact stats dont justify him being on the same level as harden. Harden is never placed in the top 5 where he belongs, meanwhile giannis despite never making a finals is always given the benefit of the doubt. The media slams harden for his perceived lack of defense but that never stopped them from almost making nash a 3x mvp or curry the first uniamous mvp. They always move the gaolpost for harden

    MJ was dark-skinned as you put it, thought people had learned.

    He was part of Pop culture.

    Shaq was the same, people liked him and his weird comments.

    Thats why i said Harden would be more loved in the 90's. A guy like jokic or to a lesser extent KAT would be seen as more marketable than hakeem today

    you think im joking, but im serious, They so badly want Lavine to be a star. Look at how they pushing ingram and tatum, guys who are solid players but something you wouldnt call all-stars. If tatum, ingram, or lavine had a season like harden in 2019 and all the 50 point games, they would have had the media narrative on their side for mvp

    I would think that he doesn't really show boat and show his athleticism did play a part too.

    And that he seemed too introverted, doesn't speak clearly but mumbles into his beard.

    And his beard is not a mustache but an arab looking beard really early on and you know who isn't popular after 9/11? Yeah.

    Kudos to him that he turned it around and into a brand.

    So the media is upset that a black black guy was voted the top player over Mahomes? I've read media accounts saying Jackson is deserving. Is Aaron Donald a black black guy or a white black guy?

    Harden is the lunchpail old school nba player, just shows up goes to work. He doesnt believe in load management. The media like tnt guys and espn bully him, try and meme him and he still just goes out and dominates, thats gotta make them feel some type of way. The media cant get into hardens head like they could get to durant and dwight.

    Harden gets memed and bullied by the media, i was bullied my freshman year in high school for wearing the same clothes over and over again. I got so pissed one day i got up and hit the kid so hard i broke his orbital bone. Next thing i know i was put in handcuffs as a 14 year old. My mom had no money, but was able to raise money from our church to get me a lawyer. The most annoying thing about that whole time period was how the judge kept reseting the court dates and hoping i would plead guilty. I ended up getting offered a 1 year deferred adjudication deal and had to complete 40 hours. I did that, but i was still sent to an alternative school. The crazy thing about that was i was pretty much a lock to make the varsity team at waltrip as a freshman. I have never been in any trouble since then, but i know whats its like to be an introvert and be picked on and then get so fed up all the rage just comes out at once. This is why i will always say harden is my favorite athlete of all time

    Still waiting on Kellerman to weigh in on what he believes Harden's manscape situation is like. Coach Nick threw down the gauntlet.

    1. ESPN never gives ‘love’ to the Rockets
    2. Clutchfans complain but wait to see if ESPN changes their mind
    3. See 1

    repeat for 30 years plus

    Sorry to hear about bullying.

    That's a lot of suck.

    I think Harden got over it with millions, which were hard earned and big booties.
