    Strip clubs get love because of James Harden who has done more for the unemployed than other athletes. he keeps creating these strip club jobs and that's got to be a big positive

    Harden gets plenty of "love" from strippers. They've already retired his number at the strip club. He's a LEGEND. :D

    People can ignore the anterior pelvic tilt bigotry in the media, but you're just willfully blinding yourself from the truth.

    i don't buy this strip club excuse. a lot of people around the country hate harden and the majority of them are casual nba followers who know next to nothing about him off the court. i think the more likely explanation would be the osama beard that turns people off

    Reasons why James Harden gets less media hype than he should:
    1. His moves aren't athletically amazing.
    2. He scores many of his points by working the rules and going to the line. A lawyer. Boring.
    3. He's weird. Not relatable, doesn't give good interviews.
    4. He plays for Houston.
    5. He's never gone to the finals as a starter.
    6. He doesn't play great defense. Lots of stars don't. But if he played better D, he'd get a bit more hype.
    7. He has a big beard. Some people don't like that.
    Etc., etc. Strip clubs wouldn't make the top 10.

    Was it said as if we're supposed to take it as "insider" info? Or was this just his opinion?

    I like the distinction made between being respected and being fawned over. Harden is respected for the body of his career, but not fawned over for his lack of crazy athleticism or god-like shooting. In the past 4 years, He has put himself in the category of the Top 5 but is judged just as harshly against those same players benefiting from having co-star teammates (this year's different obv, but sorta not).

    We all know that the real reason Harden isn't fawned over by national media circles is that Harden's not branded by Nike. He gets points docked off for taking the unconventional route throughout his career.

    I think we're all waiting for the day the national media flips the script and starts praising Harden for what he's accomplished. It's not coming unless we win a chip and Harden wins the FMVP.

    Houston has always had to force-feed the national media to put Houston in any sort of light around the country.

    Let’s force them something to talk about!

    He relies on cheap fouls because if they called it every time he got hacked for real games would be 9 hours long. He’s required to “sell it” to get the calls so he does. Either call it every time he gets mugged or stop complaining that shitty defenders are still falling for the same old okeedokes...

    Of course, Isola speaks in favor of the isolation scorer.

    Before you know it sports stars that didn't have their spouses articially inseminated will be chastised by media for committing the crude act of sex.

    James Harden loves Houston so much he hands out financial aid after every game to local women who have to work while in school.

    James Harden>Mother Teresa
