    When Harden first came to Arizona State I thought he was the next Jordan. But coach Sendeks system shackled him the same way Dean Smiths system stymied Jordan at North Carolina. I was surprised Harden did not flourish sooner in pros. Can hardly wait to see this flower completely blossom as he seems to be doing now !

    Well, I choose to believe him nowaday...:cool:

    Harden is like a horizontal MJ :)

    He gets a lot of baskets by streaking to the basket with deceptive speed, which is more effective than going over top imo.

    Sloooooow down...

    Harden's great, but really, to be in the same breath as Jordan you gotta play amazing, and do it for a TON of seasons, AND you better have a bunch of MVP's and rings to boot.

    In the entire league, there's 2 players that you can remotely talk about in the same breath as Jordan... Kobe and Lebron.

    Lebron is Nowhere near there yet.
    Kobe still has work to do.

    Comparisons to MJ? Talk to me in 6 or 7 seasons...

    Harden fans look foolish when they say things like this.

    also he's talking about what he thought in the past when Harden was in college... he didn't say "Harden is the next Jordan!"

    Deceptive speed is an understatement. Harden looks so slow but somehow always manage to blow by his defenders. It's probably the beard, makes him look old and slow.

    He isn't slow... he just knows where to position the ball when he drives to draw fouls.

    Lin never liked the hype and I am sure Harden doesn't like it either. Hype is great for NBA, rivalries, ticket & merchandise sales, and media stories but really bad for the players themselves. If you care for Harden as a Rocket, or Lin for that matter, stop the hype!
    My 2 cents........

    Can't watch the games, so I haven't seen him play, but it is common sense that teams will start focusing on defending him and forcing the other players to beat them. We (you) are likely to see double maybe even triple teams. The supporting cast will have to get much better.

    He used the word "might"

    but then used ALL-CAPS on "MICHAEL JORDAN" for emphasis

    And its based off one dudes's random comment from under a box score...

    And he posted a pic of the comment and quoted the comment

    its all the looks of stretching it. Though the OP doesnt seem TOO serious, hopefully
