In the regular season harden has basically shut all the haters he can possibly shut up. The rest of them will never change their opinion on Harden so it's pointless. The only thing left for Harden to accomplish is winning it all. Unfortunately for him the deck is stacked against him with the Warriors literally rolling out an all-nba starting team. Also his running mate seems to always get injured at the most inopportune times and takes up a huge chunk of the cap salary. It's likely Harden will never win a ring unless he goes and joins the Warriors after his contract's up. He'll be 32 by then and maybe he's not the type to leave a franchise as long as he's getting paid so he'll more likely end up being one of the "NBA greats" forgotten in history by most fans because he never wins a ring. It's sad but likely to happen because of the mistakes Morey has made again and again by overpaying for players. First Ryno, now CP3.
CP3 will lead the team to a championship this year if he's healthy, that I'm not worried about. Only reason they aren't the champions now is because the goat was out.
