There's nothing Harden can do about people like Kellerman and Sharpe because they've shown that they hate Harden and won't be convinced regardless of evidence. He just needs to win and ram all their crap back down their throats.
I don’t know why this thread has 9 pages already. First take, Kellerman, SAS, that blonde I don’t know her name, and all these crappy “analysts” are supposed to have conflicts so they keep their audience, or even to fill up the time of the show. Yeah they pretty much extend their crappy comments so much. That’s why SAS changes so much his opinions. Last year, it wasn’t a consensus that Brick was the MVP in these programs. The year before with Stephanie, also not a consensus. You see the logic here?
So apparently some group of people took what Max Kellerman had to say about Harden seriously and started #PlayoffHarden on Twitter, to the point where Ben DuBose and other Rockets guys had to address it directly (still think media narrative doesn't matter? smh) It's a really good listen, in which Ben gives the most objective assessment of Harden's strengths and weaknesses that I've ever encountered.
People who played the game see what Harden is doing and acknowledging it. People like Kellwrman are just chat room haters with a podium. His argument is nothing more than 'Lebron is the greatest ever .. stats .. win streak .. the end' ... It's weak, subjective and contrived just to get a rise.
I never said this. You're a liar attempting be relevant. I hate on Harden when he is playing hero ball and not playing defense. WTF
Refer to this page in the "trade harden" thread where you reply to @Reeko http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/trade-harden.282771/page-29#post-11151466 Trade harden for Wiggins!?!?! That's even worse. Glad you aren't in charge. Epically stupid.
Harden played hero ball last night and won. You hate on harden when he is exhausted and teams play good defense hugging up on shooters in the 4th quarter and require harden to create. Like @vlaurelio has said, now that he has cp3, he has fresher legs in the 4th quarter and opposing defenses have to worry about two superstar threats who can beat you 1 on 1 when they have extra space due the defense hugging up on shooters You just hated on harden trying to help us win when he was exhausted and had no superstar help
Last year, who deserved the ball more than harden? Who can produce more points either by scoring or assisting per possession?
