    No, Hakeem's religion and accent made the media somewhat averse to him, where he had tons of respect was amongst the players (having ****ty teams for such a long time didn't help either).

    All the ex-player media these days are from his generation, which is why he gets so much more respect now.

    This is Harden's team unless we acquire LeBron, Durant or maybe Paul. There should be no doubt about this.

    A man with the elite offense of Harden and the elite defense of Howard. A fusion of the two we like to call Harvard. I'll let you figure out who that blessed man is.

    Hakeem is the dream... Jeremy LIN is something more like a fantasy.

    It's actually pretty hard to say. If I were forced to bet on it, I'd put my money on Harden, but it wasn't long ago that Dwight was a top 3 player in the entire NBA.

    It really just depends so much on whether Dwight can get back to where he was, physically. If he stays the same player he was last season, then Harden will almost certainly have the stronger career moving forward. If Dwight signs with us and gets back to his 2010-11 form... well. We'd be talking dynasty.

    It should be Harden, one of the dangerous things about Howard is that, going by his time with the Lakers, we might have to rearrange the offense from focusing on Harden to Howard to get the most out of Howard. Howard has never been on a team with a fellow superstar where they would share the ball and been "superstar" he is supposed to be.

    That being said, Harden has proven worthy of the label on a team where the two closet guys are usually minimized by the way the offense is set up.

    Last year he had to play with Kobe and they didn't get along but I think that's more to do with Kobe's demanding personality.

    I think Harden has a more suitable personality for Dwight. Plus this whole thing of whose the no.1 option. It's clearly harden and that will be made clear and I'm sure Dwight understands that now. Doesn't mean Dwight won't get his 3 touches a quarter in the low post and doesn't mean Dwight can't outplay harden either.

    Such jab of sarcasm at the Lin fans is getting old in a hurry.

    How many Lin fans have accused the Rockets staffs of being racist anyway? One? Five? Or ten? Why do you try to make it out like thousands of Lin fans think in that way? Geeze, you don't even know whether the few idiots who have mentioned racism are real Lin fans or they were just trolling you. Seriously, think before you write.

    Patrick Beverly will be #1 star next year. He will need to take out Lebron, Durant, and every opponent star that gets in the Rockets way.
