Harden on Giannis: “I wish I could just run and just dunk. That takes no skill at all.”

    It was the last time when Harden really cared more about a run than his fashion week in Paris.

    Hard work is a skill and Harden can be all giddy about his talent all he wants, Giannis has found a way to maximize his talent whereas Harden has not. I rather have Giannis in crunch time and a play-off situation over Harden. Yes referees having been less inclined to call fouls for him, but that's what happens when you fish for them. And Giannis has gone through the battles and stayed with his team, while Harden failed to close out again and again, while getting his wishes granted and then bolted so just respect Giannis and at the same time be honest about Harden's shortcoming, while both seeing what they are doing in context.

    For the people saying Giannis just runs into people and gets to the line, as if he's only won because of the referees, how did Harden get his 40-50-60 points? How many FT did he average? In fact, how much has he not profited off of kicking his legs out on threes, hooking people, cocking his head back and actually by running into defenders? Just because one runs a 100mph and the other 30 doesn't make Harden so skilled at getting to the line and Giannis just a bull. Both still have to play the angles. Both profit off of the way the game is officiated so stop it. Giannis now is a champion with 2 MVPs and a FMVP under his belt so kudos to him. Harden is a one time MVP, best SG in the league and multiple scoring champion. It is what it is.

    Partying is only excused when you get results.

    Giannis showed everyone what Mamba Mentality can bring you.

    Hard work and talent destroys talent when talent doesnt work hard.

    Nothing against the Mamba but Giannis can trademark his own mentality now.

    Gym rat mentality.

    Giannis is an athletic freak of the highest order who works his ass off. He truly a freak because of it. He has it all, and even showed shooting touch from the FT Line! His performance was legendary. It’s was as good as you’ll ever see from anyone.

    No other player in the NBA really represents the spirit of Houston right now like Giannis.

    immigrant that busted his ass to lose in an afterthought city only to stay loyal and humble and reach the top.

    that’s the story of Houston. Always discredited because it isn’t flashy but doesn’t care

    He more than a gym rat the dude works on his game not just his body.

    Made 17/19 fts tonight and made Cp3 suck it.

    Only ones in complete denial mode are Harden stans who cant accept Giannis is better than Harden. Ask any objective person they gonna say Giannis is better than Harden. Its just facts at this point.

    I have no problem with the saying, more cities will identify with his take.

    That motor inside a mind and body that is an
    Compared to Milwaukee, Houston is ten fold famous with oil and NASA programs. But then again Milwaukee is also decently on the map when compared to other cities.

    While James was wearing rompers in Paris playing grab ass with his homies Giannis won a championship. SMH. Seems like James will always be a joke to Giannis.

    Damn and PJ just slaughtered all his ex teammates on the way to the ring - Ariza, Cap, James, CP. Crazy.
