Look at Lance Stephenson. The guy literally gets pissed off after everytime something doesn't go his way. In Game 1, Mahhimi (However you spell his name) dropped a pass that would have been a wide open lay up and he looked at him hollering. Look at his body language when something doesn't go his way. I love his game. but if he wants to get paid, he has to chill with all that wining and bad leadership. I would NOT want him as the best player on my team. Terrible leader.
good thing he's only the 3rd or 4th best player on his current team. Sure he's decent but I'd still say he isn't as good Deng. I'd even take Kwahi leonard over him. A poor mans Ron Artest.
It does looks like he plays with more heart though. You don't often see Harden get pissed and amped up. Frustrated but never amped.
I don't think Harden is a bad leader. He just doesn't have any personality. He always has the plain and non bothered look. Chauncey Billups was like that also, and he was a good leader.
That Pacers game @ home this season was the most hype/emotive I've ever seen him. That Harden is awesome.
It's a proven fact that champions get amped. Until Harden learns how to get amped, we have no choice of advancing past the first round, much less winning a "chip."
There's a big difference between Harden and Lance. Lance shows passion. Harden doesnt show anymore, he stopped giving a ****. There's locker room issues I think with Parsons. He also wants to get paid and not play defense. You always see him stroking his hair.
Here are the keys to winning a championship, as taught by Clutchfans "NBA Dish" posters: 1) Have good body language. 2) Get amped. Frustration is not enough. 3) If you have the plain and non bothered look, you must be a good leader. 4) Don't stroke your hair. It causes locker room issues. I hope the Rockets are listening.
We should get Charlie Villanueva. His body language isn't the best but he is one guy who definitely doesn't stroke his hair.
i get what you're saying but using lance stephenson as an example is terrible. would've said prime wade or kobe or something.
