What an article indeed...Thank You both for posting the link to this article. I read it during lunch. an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING read!!!

 

I thought we overpaid for Harden. Now, along with his defensive improvement, he's better than I ever imagined. His last challenge
is playoff success both statistically and winning. He has an excellent chance to not only overcome that, but completely flip it.

 

Great great read. Interesting how only Terry and D-mo quoted. From 6th man to MVP candidate. Wow. Or should that be woowoo!?!

 

yup, the MVP campaign machine is rolling. the senior media people know Harden is the real MVP

his IQ (not just BBIQ) is outstanding. he sees a problem and then thinks of a way to solve the problem. that's why he keeps improving

now we just need to get him some help.

 

So I was waiting to get my copy of SI in the mail because of the Harden cover and I end up with this crap:



What's going on here? Does SI have different cover photos based on what region you live in? Is there a Jimmy Butler version out there too? I know TIME Magazine does this internationally, but I don't think I've ever seen this with SI. Can I contact them and ask for the Harden cover instead? I knew I never should've trusted these guys after what they did when the Rockets beat the Knicks in the Finals, smh.

Edit: For those that asked me via rep what happened after the Rockets beat the Knicks in the Finals, it wasn't ESPN. By "these guys," I meant the people at SI who initially had planned to publish a special commemorative issue only if the Knicks had won. Then, it wasn't until the public in Houston found about this and made their displeasure known and protested SI's decision, that they finally published a a special commemorative issue for the Rockets winning the championship. IIRC, it was one of the fastest selling issues of SI in all its history. So, in the end, SI got the last laugh... they laughed all the way to the bank. Safe to say they didn't make the same mistake after the Rockets beat the Magic to win B2B championships. They couldn't publish that commemorative issue fast enough. I hope this helps.

 

espn garbage saying "he's a volume shooter" And 2nd or 3rd in mvp

breaking news guys, he's a SHOOTING guard

 

Sweet

 

It's his TS but it's now .650 and .602

 

I guess so, smh,

 

it's odd they'd give Arizona Thompson, Harden seemed to have almost as much support from his ASU groupies at that Suns game as the Suns did.

Thanks for the info, J.R. I didn't see all the fine print. I will call and ask for a Harden version. If not, I'll just tell them to send me one and bill me for it later. It just sucks.

 

rofl damn

 

Klay Thompson's Warriors eh?

 

wtf is this bull****.

 

I went around to a couple of places to try to pick up the issue -- could not find it anywhere just saw the Klay cover

 

I know what you're saying. Sampson was on the cover of SI 5 or 6 times, and we know how that eventually panned out. Yet maybe Harden will plow right through the jinx, leaving it in the dust, a distant memory. I sure hope so.
