    That’s a True Worrier, who made that.

    He’s overthinking things at the end by saying Harden is embracing being the Villian. James just loves to ball. I mean, embracing crushing the souls of Curry, Kerr, Durant and Draymond does not make you the villian, except for fans who cry when the Worriers lose.

    Did he actually make GSW and the Lakers out to be the good guys, puke.

    "The truth is, James Harden is capable of defeating whoever it is, you call a hero." Not gonna lie, that was a pretty cool line haha.

    I reserve the right to be protected from whoever thinks this is corny as well.....dont @ME

    RICHARD: Now is the winter of our discontent
    Made glorious summer by this son of York;
    And all the clouds that lowered upon our house
    In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
    Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths,
    Our bruisèd arms hung up for monuments,
    Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,
    Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.
    Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front,
    And now, instead of mounting barbèd steeds
    To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
    He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
    To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
    But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks
    Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
    I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty
    To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
    I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion,
    Cheated of feature by dissembling Nature,
    Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time
    Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
    And that so lamely and unfashionable
    That dogs bark at me as I halt by them--
    Why I, in this weak piping time of peace,
    Have no delight to pass away the time,
    Unless to see my shadow in the sun
    And descant on mine own deformity.
    And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover
    To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
    I am determinèd to prove a villain
    And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
    Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
    By drunk prophecies, libels, and dreams,
    To set my brother Clarence and the king
    In deadly hate the one against the other;
    And if King Edward be as true and just
    As I am subtle, false, and treacherous,
    This day should Clarence closely be mewed up
    About a prophecy which says that "G"
    Of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be.
    Dive, thoughts, down to my soul -- here Clarence comes!

    I won’t @you, but I’ll @ @DreamShook, because he gets it.

    Keep in mind that the theory of people needing a villian is also a glimpse into his retired future of how fans likely will also be unfair to Harden’s legacy, out of need to protect their hero’s legacy against the memory of the villian. As long as vids like this keep using Cheating — and the Step-back is traveling — as a primary issue with Harden, they are laying the foundation to his legacy.

    If Worrier fans want to make good vids like this of Harden as the Villian,,,I’m sure he likes it, but the cheating part is for whiners, that they are.

    It’s the same as current old-timer heroes and fans of those heroes needing to protect their past legacies by trying to dismiss what Harden is doing as not possible in their era, and if their hero played today, he’d crush it more than Harden.

    Really Tinman? I'd rather listen to Max Ketterman than some fanboy from our enemy's fanbase.

    Unless we're talking about captain jackhole.. that dude rocks the camera down by streams like you wouldn't believe.

    Did you listen to the whole thing?

    it explains the media narrative not feeds it.

    Kellerman doesn't care about the Rockets. He gets paid millions to talk bout every sport.

    And suckers on Clutchfans believes he cares.

    Hell, if I had that job, I want people to believe I care about every sport and every team.

    I think lots of young new players coming into the league are going to be doing the Harden stepback. You already see Doncic doing the exact same move, and he's the golden boy of the NBA right now. Everyone who is dying on the hill of "Harden travels, he's cheating!" has to say that Doncic is a travelling cheat, too. Kevin Knox on the knicks did it the other day. Once there are players on every team doing it and "getting away with it" every single night, people are going to wise up and realize that Harden isn't cheating, he's not being officiated differently than everyone else, and the cheating/travelling narrative will have to die. His legacy will be that he invented and pioneered the move.

    The most Senseless Video I have ever seen. The Villains are Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, LeBron James.
    James Harden is a private person in general, just because he doesn't talk with charisma. It doesn't mean he's a Villain.

    The one who made this video is a hater, Jealousy is at a All Time High.

    Hakeem Olajuwon traveling was a constant complaining by teams and media. Now Everyone Forgot Hakeem's traveling, now it's praise.

    Well, I enjoyed it for one reason...this vid is proof that

    Mean Girl Achievement Unlocked — awarded for Getting Players/Fans Obsessed with You, just one year removed from them arrogantly laughing at the cuteness of you being obsessed with them.​

    We now need to do a counter video of how popular Mean Girls like Regina always end up losing the game to unique, originals like Cady, who come out of nowhere to threaten their dynasties. Even when fans are conditioned to accept the Regina Dynasties, if not need them out of Social Thirst and Envy, true culture balance is not achieved until the underdog wins in the end.

    The Villian vs Dynasty video needs an Underdog vs Dynasty response, complete with Regina trying to convince us that Cady cheats.

    Can't people just watch sports without reaching for nonsense in order to justify their stupid takes?

    Harden is no more of a villain than Giannis is a hero. They're simply guys playing elite tier basketball. Both can be loved by a random 8 year old living in Nebraska.
