    Horrible article.

    Basically Harden just wants to Play on his own team with nobody else to take 'being the man' from him.

    He showed his ability to take a reduced role when coming off the bench in OKC.

    Yeah. Harden is obviously very unhappy that after months of personally recruiting Dwight, he got exactly what he wanted.

    WTF

    clicked to see who wrote it. It was Kevin Ding. I actually like that guy. He writes for the OC register.

    So disappointing.

    People don't realize he left OKC because of the MONEY not because of playing time. He would have happily taken max to be a sixth man in OKC, they just didn't offer that to him.

    Basically, what this boils down to is the media having their feelings hurt.

    What's up with that, Kevin? I'll tell him. The LA media has been INCREDIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL in their behavior after Dwight's decision. They've attacked the guy relentlessly, either intimated or outright said that the Lakers would be better without him, saying he isn't "Laker material", that he's Houston's problem now, etc., etc. The butthurt and sore loser mentality from the LA media has arguably been worse than from Laker fans themselves. It's downright embarrassing from what should be an objective group.

    If Lin is willing to play along, good for him. But if Harden or anyone else doesn't want to, can you blame him? It'd just be a nonstop "gotcha" session of attempting to paint James into a corner. If I were in James' shoes, I wouldn't take any Dwight questions, either.

    Unfortunately, all that hurt Kevin's feelings. :( Poor guy, just a responsible journalist, right? :rolleyes:

    The author is an actual sports writer who works for the OC Register. Not saying there's anything to this (haven't read it), but we should perhaps distinguish Bleacher Report items written by fans versus professionals.

    No I read Sports Illustrated online.

    Sadly BR has really REALLY gone downhill.

    They really loathe the Texans as well. BR gives absolutely no credit to Houston teams at all.

    I agree. From what I heard around town here in Galveston, Beard is actually a likeable and friendly guy. Generous even.

    We should also distinguish based on proximity to California.

    That actually proves the lack of legitimacy even more. If there were anything to it, he'd have it published in his actual outlet, a newspaper with standards. He just wanted a sophomoric hit piece because his Laker ego was bruised.

    Actually BR never made it up the hill; it started at ground level and proceeded to go into a sinkhole.

    Rockets section of BR is nothing but a Lin circle jerk since he came here.
