    We used to call CP3 a whiny flopper back in his Clipper days. *Demarcus Cousins gif*

    I feel like the same could have been said with John Stockton over his career.

    The smaller PGs of the league usually have to be a bit more crafty with how they work in the paint so they don't get out muscled and smacked around down there.

    Unless you're an imposing PG ala Magic, Harden, Westbrook, or Mitchell... this rule typically applies to you. If you're not exploiting what you can then you're just not doing it right.

    That's not cheating.

    It wasn't even happening a lot in LAC.

    Harden is a top 2 or 3 player in the world, easily, I respect his game a lot. But he and CP3 getting similar levels of hate these past years is insanity. CP3's hate is insanely unwarranted on several levels.

    Really? This old and tired narrative is back? I thought this had been debunked enough times by now for even the casuals to catch on.

    If Gordon gets traded I'm almost certain Redick is a Rocket

    What? It’s true... Harden consistently gets slapped on the wrist that’s what makes him so good. His ability to show you the ball to bait you into swiping at it but he is just to strong and he can fight thru it and finish anyway. I don’t care if people think it’s cheap or not. A foul is a foul.

    Paul on the other hand has a long history of blatantly flopping, not drawing fouls, but straight up falling to the ground.

    Well you've got this a bit wrong. Harden was a huge flopper when he was in his younger hou days. As he's gotten older it's definitely calmed down a bit and same goes for cp3. If people can't remember a lot of harden's gimmicks then you just haven't followed him long enough. I guess you forgot who started the hooking of the arm. And that wasn't even that long ago. He went through his whiplash flops stage just like cp3 did. You only speak about him showing the ball when there's plenty of other material to highlight and what made a lot of the public hard to root for him

    People should take off those homer glasses if there's people that actually think harden didn't do a lot of acting and flopping. Who can forget this classic

    Paul is the Biggio of basketball... crafty with an ******* vibe.

    Not saying there's anything wrong with that.

    Nope. Like it has been said. Hate it when they play against you. Love them on your team.
