Brother, if someone brings in politics in the GARM for no reason? doesn't violate the rules and the member could be banned? I think the newbs need a refresher course on how this place works. We built this city We built this city
Rockets fans should be the ones that are most aware of the power of social media. Not only is First Take the largest sports show in the U.S. in terms of viewership, clips like this get shared on the internet and become part of the narrative regarding certain players. Harden has already suffered enough damage to his reputation with all the defensive lowlights that got blown out of proportions, so he doesn't need any more of this bullshit, OK? If you're going to criticize Harden, criticize on his playoffs performance because that's one area I do think is a fair game. But rest of Max's arguments are just pure garbage and could be countered in a split second.
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/12/nba-tnt-inside-behind-scenes-shaquille-barkley-turner NBA on TNT has averaged the highest viewership among cable NBA telecasts for 11 consecutive seasons, and according to Nielsen, Inside regularly draws higher ratings among key male demographics than The Tonight Show
Every year when James gets a chip on his shoulder, he works in the off-season to work on the criticism. Can't lead with an unearned max contact? Beat everyone's expectations by far. Ball hogging scorer? Learns and becomes one of the best pgs I'm the league. Can't fit in new coachs system? Does it and more. The biggest regression we've seen is after he won the players mvp and decided to get Kardashian stamped on his forehead. Maybe he needs this motivation until he reaches the promised land of the greats. I didn't even think his chubbiness was a bad thing because of the minutes and contact he draws. Then he sheds double digit pounds and surprises his biggest fans even more. That's an intense amount of discipline and work ethic I don't think many of us has. He's on his way to another hundred million he doesn't even need.
that's great, because NBA on TNT has been so fair to Harden after all these years, right? Charles, Shaq, and Kenny for sure love to gush about Harden whenever his name is brought up.
Relax dude, this is going to be the narrative until Harden redeems himself in the playoffs. The memory of game six is still fresh on ppl minds
24 points 7 assists 3 rebounds? Yes on higher efficiency but Harden had higher efficiency than westbrook but it didn't do him ****
Because Lebron paces himself throughout the year. This year he saw that if he doesn't go into playoff mode RIGHT NOW the team is f'd and you see the results. If you don't think Lebron is capable of putting up these numbers every year you're crazy. Anyways, right now the two are neck and neck.. beard gets the edge because of record and better stats
Lebron media bias. I told you but you guys will take a bullet before admitting this. If Lebron wins it's "wow, look at how Lebron carried the whole team on his back". If they lose it's "poor Lebron needs more help". The guy can't lose with the media. James Harden has better stats, a better team in a much harder conference, yet Lebron's the MVP? Max Kellerman must be getting paid to praise & protect Lebron's brand. James Harden is BY FAR the best player this season. It shouldn't even be a debate anymore
Isn't that the problem though?? Last year, everybody said "it's a regular season award" after we blasted Russ's ass out of the playoffs. Now all of a sudden, it's "get back to me when Harden has a good playoff series. YAWN." FOH ESPN.
The goal this year is to win a ship. Who cares what the media says. They can talk all the s@*t they want. Look what happen with the stros.
Is that the tears of Daryl Morey, Tad Brown and Les Alexander? Because they seem to think media narrative matters, unlike some idiots here http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/charles-barkley-apologizes-to-the-rockets.274405/
