    lol, didn't know ppl actually cared about the most boring event in the season.

    I'd rather watch all 300 NBA players go through the Skills Challenge than the actual ASG.

    Utter, blatant disrespect. I hope Harden uses this as fuel for his playoff fire...

    And screw using captains' names as the team names. That really pisses me off too. Should be TeamStars and TeamStripes or choose two different legends as the team namesakes. TeamMagic vs TeamBird or something.

    smh y'all wanted the draft to be televised, and then b**** and moan when things don't turn out the way you want.

    Get over it.

    peoples conjecture on its significance doesnt matter...

    He knows he isn't the ninth best player. lebron had to pick up the guys he think might actually come to LA as free agents

    Huh? Westy is an All Star, and I don’t even like him. Just saying if I was drafting I wouldn’t pick Harden either. He tries the least of all the stars in the game.

    Also Giannis was on record saying he was gonna draft Steph first because Steph picked him last year.

    Harden will never win the All Star MVP because the media has done such a wonderful hatchet job on him in previous years, that outside Houston other fans don't like him. And he knows this. We see this every away game where he is constantly booed. You don't see that with other NBA superstars.

    Since the ASG MVP is voted by the fans, he knows he won't win, so why should he put up an effort to win it. Harden is smart and can size up the wave of favoritism as much as he can size up the court. So he will take this snub, and make it pay where it counts...in the playoffs. I bet he will coast in the ASG...again.

    Lebron is just bitter because Harden drops him off pretty much every single time.

    Yep, Harden is actually well liked and respected by his peers except for a few exceptions like lebron. I'm sure Giannis doesnt have a problem with Harden but that's his rival for the MVP race so I guess that's understandable.

    Won't be a big deal to Harden, he's already dominating the regular season. Any motivation for the playoffs is welcome
