    Kinda true, but this is an internet bball forum not a court of law. It's gossip - juicy gossip. You don't get Exhibits A-Z with gossip. I wouldn't think it'd be hard to assess the poster's credibility, since he has 9 years of posting history here. Unless he has a history of posting garbage, I don't see why he would suddenly decide to make this up.

    I think you're needlessly stretching the facts here. Your story about Harden could be true even if a fight between Barnes/Fisher witnessed by several people at a party was reported regardless to whether the NY Post original sources were from the LAPD. I mean, stories leak all the time by witnesses. I guess you're saying the original sources were from LAPD. Seems like LAPD sources would have contacted TMZ in LA to leak the story vs the NY Post, no?

    What's weird is why you felt compelled to validate your story at all by insisting a fight witnessed by several people would never have leaked, and everyone would have kept their mouths shut, except the cops were called.

    Here's the original break of the story in the NY Post.

    Is this post serious? I'm merely pointing out that a lot of stuff happens that we aren't aware of, and just used the most recent public drama example. Reading in it too much.

    As for evidence, got me there. Due time, due time.

    If what you say is true, that is highly discouraging for all involved and appears to make more sense in regards to the events that have transpired compared to what we have heard.

    One of things that may assist all involved to move forward in a more positive direction would be for Harden to acknowledge his wrong doing and to re-gain the trust/respect of his team (if he hasn't already done so and if at all possible).

    Considering that what your saying is still speculation until proven otherwise, your timing for breaking news still leaves a lot to be desired.

    and every time it happens it gets out through multiple sauces much more validated than yours. And you probably weren't around when a vicious rumor around tmac came out while he had back problems.

    Brent Bary/Tony Parker
    Derek Buttwad/Whoever
    Gilbert arenas and guns
    and the story goes on

    people don't keep their mouth shut.

    Why are you getting angry about a poster talking about something he has heard? :confused: Because you don't like the message? Yes it may be b.s. but no harm in talking about something you have heard...

    No idea if it is true but I wouldn't put it past Harden...the dude is a hound and Josh has a super hot wife.

    I didn't challenge your evidence at all in my post about Barnes/Fisher? I'm merely using the story of Barnes/Fisher than you provided to point out how hard it would be for sex stories of high profile NBA stars (one dating a freaking Kardashian no less, and one who plays for an LA team) to stay under wraps. TMZ pays big money for the juicy stuff on hot stars.

    You're getting a wee bit too defensive now about your story.

    if you're seriously confused on why it's not right to spread unfounded rumors about someone and the harm it could do - you've got more problems that just not understanding my rationale.

    Well, DraftBoy13 didn't start a thread about it. So he's not whoring the info. Actually, I wonder why he didn't. He's not shy about starting threads. Why sit for so long on info of something that happened way back in the pre-Khloe era of the Summer.
