    I don’t know, but he is legendary for not being able to deal with injuries. He will play and he will play hard but he gets frustrated when he cannot play like he does when healthy.

    Hmm odd, if as someone said it’s predominantly related to product endorsement maybe he is changing his platform or doing something in conjunction with a big sponsor but that is a bit odd. I’ve been speculating that this dunk he’s been in is more than an injury thing ... perhaps it is a chick deal.

    it wasn't that much product endorsement. you absolutely see many of his close friends posted and such.

    He's definitely still grieving Kobe's death, I'm sure growing up in LA that was his idol & good friend. Plus he hadn't posted anything about him, he's probably just overwhelmed by emotion I'm sure, everyone grieves differently. I actually like this move, similar to what Giannis did. I just wish he'd take some games off & heal his body & mind.

    The combination of his childhood friend Nipsey being murdered, not even a year ago, and his childhood idol Kobe dying suddenly probably is taking its toll.

    Kind of feel this could be it. He had two impactful losses in recent months, he's human, could be affecting him more than he let's us know.

    He is selfish at times, c'mon man. Making Harden a victim of his own actions makes me question you

    Personally I'm not big on Social Media sites either (data collection from big Tech).

    But you and I also aren't a mega famous NBA superstar :D, it is kind of a big deal.

    That’s definitely very strange. Most people that delete social media is when it gets too toxic for them

    Let this be the start of a trend. Distractions are distractions. I'm deleting my Instagram also. Who's with me?

    Not trying to diagnose him or even speculate on the reason for it, but Harden has definitely seemed a bit glum for the last few weeks. Even before last Sunday's tragedy.

    Seriously...Not sure if it’s depression, but something really seems to be going on.

    I’m not chalking this up to a slump. I know he had a better game last night, but something is happening with James.

    Quite frankly it’s ridiculous that some of you are calling for his head. How much has JH given this team and city? I’d like to see an outpouring of support. Actually, I’m headed to twitter to give some.

    It’s interesting that this should be considered a big deal. Though I admit I still don’t really get instagram. Posting pictures as a means of communication? Hmmm.
