Why does the mainstream media always dislike Harden?

If he wasn't on the rockets we would hate him. Just like we hated rivers or cp3 until they got here. I would still say kd and LeBron get more hate than harden. People just like to hate.

 

The hate is REAL for James Harden, the Rockets and Houston, TX.

*** the haters.

 

His performance has embarrassed the media and their hate. It really shows you their is an agenda that's excepted and theirs reality that people don't care about. James Harden is not a cheater he is adjust ahead of the curb.

 

How is he not a great shooter, ball handler, passer, or defender?

 

It is Dwight Howard's fault.

Before the Rockets signed Dwight, they were a league pass favourite, an exciting, up and coming, running and gunning team led by the emerging superstar James Harden.

After we signed Dwight, Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe started the campaign against the rockets, saying before the season even started that they would be painful to watch because Dwight shot as many FTs as Harden.

Then you had the defensive lowlights vid and it's snowballed from there.

But originally, the Harden hate manifested from peoples' dislike of Dwight

 

which fanbase?

They're protecting Lebron

 

Yup, same reason that Davis always gets MVP love.

All these talking heads predicted Davis to become an MVP early in his career so instead of admitting they were wrong, they repeat the lie to try and speak it into existence.

Same talking heads said Harden couldn't lead a team on his own after the OKC trade, let alone become an MVP. And instead of admitting they were wrong, they just double down on the unfounded Harden criticisms

 

Trust me, it's only because it's Houston sports. Guaranteed if it was Lebron doing the exact same thing, there would be non-stop 24-7 coverage of how Lebron is changing the game.....for the the better.

never hated cp3, he is and always has been one of the best guards in NBA history. only casuals fail to respect greatness.

rivers was just a role player, like draymond. everyone is free to hate those guys

lebron and KD maybe get more pure volume of hate but lower hate %

 

I'm sorry, but I don't think they will ever respect Houston.

if he consistently plays better in the playoffs, which looks like it has started to happen and will continue to happen, they will respect

 

There is no such thing as 'dislike'.
Constant mentioning of him and the Rockets is always good.

There was a period where we had unbelievable players and nobody talked about the Rockets.
