    LOTTA jEALOUSY OUT THERE. GROWN MEN TALKING ABOUT WHO IS THE MOST LIKED--RIDICULOUS.James Harden gets paid to bust them in the mouth any chance he can. Sounds like they just don't like the fact that he does it so well. This is why winning the championship has to be the only goal. MJ had haters like this to, always making a big deal about how much he shot the ball opposed to the fact his team won. When he won they had to dig for other things. I hope James gives it to these chumps in the second half

    I would guess there's a lot of resentment toward Harden even among star players, since most of them don't continue to find ways to improve their games every year even after they become stars.

    James Harden is reinventing the game without the backing from nike

    Harden is probably the most imitated player in the league.

    Euro Steps and Stepbacks are the best flattery.

    LOL at the jealously, envy, and hating

    weird wasn’t he name mvp by the players on the espy
    They prob get annoyed he gets so many calls but they do respect what he is doing. He is doing everything he can and more with guys out. He has done that for a couple of seasons too. People can get frustrated over the calls but they should respect what he has done.

    "Some of these players don't like James Harden"

    What is this, elementary school?
    James Harden's dad could beat up Brian Windhorst's dad

    This is the same guy who said Lebron is 280lbs right now.....

    I’m sure it was some players just saying they don’t like the calls he get and he took it as “NBA players DESPISE Harden!!!!” to sell a story.

    I’m sure some players don’t like him but I bet a lot of players like him as well.

    The sports media hates James Harden in the same way the political media hates Donald Trump, it's the same methodology for the same reasons. Michael Crichton was right though, the moment the topic becomes something they're not acutely aware of, and instead reliant upon the media for said information, they just become trusting of anything that reinforces of their negative perception.

    So the media will constantly present their skewed narrative for consumption by those who hate Harden, who will continue to believe that Harden is some sort of cheater rigging the game, having their views confirmed by the media whom they will continue to consider are "just telling the truth" so long as it fits their pre-existing view.

    Tell people his step back is a travel, and a small percentage that he messes up are, those are the ones we show on video, all of a sudden his step back is a travel. Rinse repeat, same cycle over and over.

    This one is a travel, these ones aren't, the vast majority aren't travels but he occasionally messes up his rhythm (not unlike every player mind you), but that's not a story they would tell, it wouldn't fit their narrative.

    We know they're deliberately overcritical of all the Rockets' fault, and James in particular, present skewed information and create a narrative rather than inform, but nah, they're just telling the truth about those other people.

    And he's attached himself like a remora to Lebron's nether regions.

    Fat man puppet.
