    Harden is super chill. Don't understand why the media hates him.

    These chump-ass b****es aren't paying attention. This is who Harden is. No matter how many times media tries to bait Harden, no matter how many times his peers tease him, He doesn't respond much. stfu, Colin.

    I thought Harden would have to be more combative like Russ to garner respect, I guess I was wrong. All Harden had to do is agree with a statement from Laker God and person who can do no wrong, Kobe Bryant.

    If you notice, Colin is only taking Harden's side to dig at Westbrook. It's his signature move.

    That 3:04 video was like, 0:20 loving on Harden and 2:24 Westbrook bashing. No idea why he needed to bring Westbrook into the convo, when he should have just spent that time praising Harden.

    I seem to remember something about tasteing ass.

    Colin’s a pompous *******. He always sounds like he’s trying to explain something to a 5 year old.

    "My lord and savior Kobe Bryant acknowledged him and Harden responded 'maturely'. I guess he isn't Hitler after all."

    "Back then they didn't want me, now I'm hot and they all on me"

    Not a huge fan of Cowherd, but I think his general point stands about Harden. For those of us who have followed him since he arrived, the reality is he has changed a lot (and yes, grown up). His body language has improved dramatically - no more 'nose bleeds', 'cooking,' etc., he's just playing. A few years ago I think he reacted a little harshly to McHale's criticism of his leadership by calling him a clown, etc. Now with Kobe he's taking it in stride.

    This season he has clearly placed a big emphasis on defense, has improved his passing, offensively he's gotten much better, and although some of the shortcomings still remain (no ones perfect, and one of Harden's flaws is his body language when things start going downhill), he is far and away a leader and more mature than he was just two seasons ago, which accounts for a lot when you think about how immature many of the league leaders are (Russ, Lebron, KD, etc.)

    Sports analysts most likely get ad money from the shoe company everytime they mention the player's name.

    Yeah well, Harden going medieval on the league and showing no mercy tends to make doubters look
    beyond stupid and would have all audiences questioning said doubters knowledge on any topic
    going forward. The line of Harden apologetics formed a long time ago. See your way to the end of it.

    But his whole premise is dumb..fact james has got better everyyear he has been in the league...just let that sink in every since year. Man came from sixth man to mvp. So why would u get on him about in the past not being mature when he was still young..its a process even the defeats he has had. Its part the process. Il

    Cowherd is just a contrarian, and he usually rants against the likely MVP or the accepted best player - he hated Lebron for years, for example.

    He's just realised that because everyone in the media hates Harden and will only begrudgingly pay him respect, the contrarian view is actually to sing his praises.

    I don't think Cowherd believes a thing he says, it's just a stupid act.
