[ESPN Insider] Truth about James Harden's D

so you're a bad defender if you sag off your man to help with a double-team?

 

I wonder how much Cuban paid him to write that article?

 

Bout to be on 610

They were trashing hardens def mm
Harden is 1st in def win shares
4th in steals
4th? In blocks for guards

Anything else relevant

 

I stopped after he admitted he was a legitimate MVP candidate. How can you be a legit candidate if you don't play D? Genius writer here

 

Did anybody check his body language last night?


I see he had five steals but I wasn't able to check his adjusted DefBLangEff-ARP numbers.

 

So, according to the writer there are but 4 "2-way" wing players in the entire NBA? That's defining the term a little narrow, don't you think?

 

Wow 610 mad radio guy is calling James Harden a minus on the defense side. He says he still loafs too much. I'm sharpening my pitchfork right now

 

I'm going to guess that that radio guy's exposure to harden this year is more or less a few offensive highlights on ESPN and the skullcandy commercial.

 

If the Rockets were on 610, I bet he'd be lobbying for Harden to win DPOY.
