    Harden not being a gifted athlete is such a ludicrous myth...

    McGrady: 6'7" without shoes, 7'2" wingspan (+7 inches on height), 40" vertical
    Harden: 6'4" without shoes, 6'11" wingspan (+7 inches on height), 37" vertical

    If anything, Harden is only slightly less athletically gifted than McGrady. If Harden had a Draymond Green attitude, he'd be a beast.

    He already lapped T-mac, Tmac can't even get out of pole position.

    Harden blew past T-mac even stuffing Khloe and Drake in the back seat.

    Yep. But if this is lapping T-Mac then Dream would lap Harden ten times over. Harden has a long way to go to prove that he's Clutch City material.

    T-Mac is an old Lamborghini you bought used. It's best days are behind it, but at times it can still beat anyone in a race. It's very unreliable and maintenance costs are high, but that's not the car's fault, it just wasn't built to hold up well.

    Harden is a brand new Mercedes SLK. Lots of glitz and flash, but where is the substance? Yes, it starts up every day so it's reliable, but it's not easy to drive. Some days you drive it great, other days it's awful and gets lapped by cars like the Corvette who don't have as much potential but handle more consistently. You are left to wonder, is this car worth it?

    Michael Finley's out of bounds steal was a travesty.

    In keeping with the theme, you could say it was a Volkswagon Diesel of a travesty.

    A simply stunning sequence of NBA basketball. I was jumping around my living room like a lunatic. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Say what you will about McGrady and how he ultimately let Houston down, but in that moment, that 33 seconds, he was playing basketball at a level few will ever match. There are a lot of things I won't forgive McGrady for doing while in Houston, but he played some great basketball at times when he wasn't injured or busy being an egomanianicle *******, and those 33 seconds were his finest stretch of play as a Rocket.

    Thanks for a great memory, you prick. Seriously.

    I agree. I don't hate him. I still have very fond memories of him as a rockets player. I can't say the same about Pippen...

    McGrady was a like a Jaguar.

    Took a while to run it in, once it got going, you thought it was the best car ever for a few weeks. Then it kept breaking down, had sluggish handling, and you waste a lot of time and money tinkering with it just hoping it gets back to that fleeting moment.
