Harden needs to miss the ASG

While I'm definitely not against Harden sitting out the all-star game, I very much doubt that he will. The players seem to treat participating in the all-star game as a badge of honor, so I have a feeling everyone who can play will play.

However, I also don't think he's in danger of over-exerting himself in the game, simply because nobody really plays hard in the all-star game anymore.

As long as the media circus doesn't get too circus-y, James will still be able to get a good rest over the break.

 

Harden just parties and then jogs around jacking up threes on Sunday during ASW...you’re acting like he does any actual work

 

Oh wow.
an fellow '03er with such a post?

I feel proud of being in the same class.

 

Harden knows that since Tilman is cheap the only trophies he can earn are MVP and All-star MVP.

Just you watch. He's gonna launch so many step backs.

 

Seriously. Harden literally puts in zero effort at all-star games.


Also, James doesn’t need rest, he needs strippers and a 40. #ComptonGoat

 

He NEEDS that all star MVP. Got to catch up to Westbrook!

 

Harden just learned all these video game moves he needs to pull off during the allstar game...He is definitely gonna try to pull off 'The Teleport'.

 

I dun see why he has to.

He will play his 20 minutes at best.

 

I've watched him enough to know he will show up likely Hungover and on a lack of a normal sleep/eat routine and will lazily go 4-12 while being 1-9 from 3.

I'm happy for him. It's his mid year vacation. He loves basketball and the environment around it. He should and will celebrate over the all star weekend.

 

I just wanna see him attempt the streeball / And1 moves in those YT vids.

 

James Harden needs to prove himself at the All Star Game, there are days off in between the All Star Game.
The Rookie Game the next day the 3 Point Contest, Dunk Contest, Skills Challenge.

James Harden can only take so much bullying from LeBron,Giannis, Media, Dumb Derrick Rose fans.

James Harden just for once needs to be Selfish in the All Star Game, create and get assists and score layups, please no deep 3s, if you are hot from 3 go for it, if not keep attacking the rim.

James Harden needs a 40 point triple double.

 

He should do nothing but jack up 3s in that game. No driving to the rim and risk a potential fluke injry (Ex: Kobe's nose). Don't even bring up the ball and exert energy. Maybe some random flashy passes but that's about it.

 

Attack the rim and risk a fluke injury?? I don't think so..
