[TMZ]James Harden went to the strip club at 1:45 AM after OT loss

Michael Jordan also played with an unquenchable thirst to win at any cost.

 

I wonder if we won would people still be b****in about this.

 

He knows our scrimmage games consist of chucking 3s and just plain incompetent coddling coaching.


Wait till Thibs gets a hold of this clown. He'll think twice about going to the clubs.

 

I doubt it. But that's the point here.

 

No. People would've gave Harden all the credit for the win.

 

I agree there is a difference to party hard and work hard

and party loosely and frequently, nonchalant attitude in games

 

I wish this was an Akeem Olajuwon to Hakeem Olajuwon legacy but it's clear that Harden will never change

He's embarrassed Houston and everyone that gave their support

 

I can see why its annoying, but it's really not that big of a deal.

 

Why is that so obvious?

Was it so obvious that Akeem was going to become Hakeem?? I was around for that, and I'd say it certainly was not obvious.

 

Here's what you're probably talking about.

But while McGrady's abilities were awe-inspiring, his willingness to further cultivate them wasn't, according to panelist and ESPN NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy, who coached the Florida-born star with the Houston Rockets from 2004 through 2007.
Van Gundy estimated McGrady at "probably 1,000 hours of practice," just one-tenth of Gladwell's rule, a figure that elicited laughter from the crowd. Noting that McGrady was as close to he's ever seen as a basketball natural, Van Gundy went on to say that T-Mac "should be a Hall of Fame player."
"His talent was otherworldly," Van Gundy said.
Van Gundy's tone was echoed by his fellow panelist and former employer, Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, who inherited McGrady when he took the Rockets' reins in 2007.
After praising McGrady's talents, Morey said, "I do think [that ability] got in the way of Tracy's development."
"Much of the game was so easy — you see this in the AAU level, where they have freakishly talented players," he continued. "When it's that easy to dominate at that young age because of your physical tools — his wingspan was freakish, his size was enormous, his IQ — my sense was, all that did get in the way of Tracy reaching his highest heights."


This is all common knowledge. Pretty even Tinman knows he could have been one of the greatest given his natural talent that he never really perfected like MJ and Kobe. That still has nothing to do with going out and getting drunk or skipping practice for the super bowl.

I'm also pretty sure JVG was joking. Players can't choose when to show up for practice. He was there the same amount as Yao bc everyone on the team has to be there. Of course he could also mean he couldn't practice due to injury.

 

Chug down a bottle of vodka and I'll see you tomorrow for a training session. Let's see what that does you

 

Objection: assumes facts not in evidence.

 

The Clutchfans moral police on patrol, what a pathetic place this site has become.

 

It took Hakeem finding religion and Charlie Thomas refusing to fulfill HIS trade request.

 

Basically.

 

Harden can do whatever he wants to do.

However he needs to realize that if you are dating someone who is a walking paycheck for TMZ, that makes you a walking paycheck for TMZ.

 

he is a loser right now, he's not a winner yet-?

 

It's just 1 game guys. He gets a pass. You know what, it's just a damn silly basketball game

 

You mean the "never going to be elite again" Howard?

 

JVG was accurate. things came easy for Tmac, but when things get difficult, he leaves. His fans want things easy for Tmac too like when he was a bench warmer for the Spurs.

the basketball gods punished the Spurs for doing that.
