    On the contrary, his use of the word "fun" probably wasn't haphazard. As about 105% of his former teammates have said, it's not fun playing on a CP3 team. Harden might have been taking a little dig here.

    Hell, CP3's funk last year might have been what caused Eric to make his now-famous comment in the first place.

    #RocketsIsMyHome has to be the 2020 slogan.

    That one word, plus CP3's history, plus what I saw last season, plus the news that Harden pushed hard for this trade. :D

    He should have worn a brace last season, doing the work of two stars and all.

    It’s not fun because Paul is arguably the one of the top 3 smartest players to ever play the game . He knows it isn’t fun but he knows what it takes and he’ll let you hear it. James has thin skin and never wants to be questioned. Even in the clips of the huddle where Paul called him out for losing his man and not trying on D you saw how pissed harden got. It wasn’t fun at all playing next to Mj either.


    I’m disappointed in James maturity. We’re getting one of the most inefficient players in the league so he can have “fun” and he with his buddy

    The first year is always fun. The second year is a different story.....

    Despite being a "mature" leader, CP3 is universally disliked for the manner in which he leads. That can be as important as the knowledge and the IQ to spot problems. If you're a dick most of the time, people will tune you out.

    If there weren't so many other stories out there about players talking about what a penis CP3 can be, I'd be more worried about Harden's reactions. Sure, Harden can probably stand to grow up a little, but there's an awful lot of gray area in this particular situation.

    Christopher Paul has no room to talk to James Harden about anything for obvious reasons.

    Paul appears to lack tact. If he hasn’t developed it by 34/35 then he likely never will.

    MJ is a winner, Chris Paul is a guy who is the McGrady of the second round. Now he’s old and breaking. A guy like that doesn’t get to talk like he’s a superstar.

    Why? Both will get you the same results. A playoffs exit.

    Just like Christopher Paul, except he usually exits in the second round.
