Good Night Sweet Hawk. On this night, James Harden was more disrespectful to Atlanta Hawks franchise in mere three quarters of basketball action than the entire Atlanta management has been to its own team for past decades. PS. Yes, step back 3 is a travel and it is a James Harden patented shot. It's a patent because only he can get away with the violation, which begs the question: Why does everyone love Harden so much? Good night. PS. Set your alarm clock for 24 minutes of sleep, because you know Harden isnt coming out of your head and dreams on his own.
Can you blame him though? Imagine having to watch that team for 82 games? I'd be crabby too... Also, why do they have so many busts on that team lol? Jabari Parker, Alex Lin, Chandler Parsons, Evan Turner, are they going for an all busty team?
1) It's not a travel. 2) It doesn't beg the question; it raises the question. There is a big difference.
STFU. It's not a travel, neither was Jordan's. The league looked at it and confirmed it's not. So STFU. You go in the bucket with all the folks that are screaming for Gordon to be traded this year. Just STFU. Give it up. It's legal.
video for those wondering... If this were any other player they would have been gushing about it. The Harden hate is real.
I watched the Hawks feed. They also kept calling Harden’s three point move a definite travel and said he conned refs into giving him free throws.
I live in the Hawks TV market, so I have to watch their feed versus League Pass Rockets feed. But man, to see how ANGRY they were was just laughable.
Those are Nique's views not mine and unlike you, he has played in the NBA. You sound like an angry man. Here is a weekend reading recommendation for you to help you calm down.
Did he really say only Harden can get away with it? There are like 20 players that do his exact same move.
For those of you new to Hawks feeds, Mr. Wilkins marks the Rockets games on his calendar as soon as season schedule is removed, and places a one-click orders on amazon for extra Kleenex. One of those long nights that he is is involuntarily forced to sit through. How times have changed. Back in the 80s, grown men would not be sitting on their chair and crying all day about another grown man.
I am sure losing by 57 didn’t put the Hawks television crew in a good mood... but their level of hatred was over the top and was also dishonest. Also I have an issue with the Vice President of a team also being the color analyst of a team. It was highly unprofessional to have the VP of the Hawks on television criticizing another teams player for not caring about winning after dropping 60 points in 30 minutes. I find it hilarious that Dominique Wilkins of all people is criticizing Harden for his defense and desire to score and his desire to win. Wilkins was unfairly criticized for not being a winner because he lost to the Celtics and the Pistons and Bulls.
LOL! Is that honestly how they read this scenario? Harden is hamming it up, look at White Thunder (Harty) laughing in the background behind him! And is that 'Nique saying "it's all about the points"? Lolwut... isn't that what his career was all about? This is the dude who made a comeback to the NBA as a 37 year old (with the Spurs), and in a 20 win team, scored 18ppg. THAT is all about the points. Nique never played on a 60 win team, and, as talented a scorer as he was, his teams were as often as not a lower seed. Maybe he's still salty that, despite his 29ppg in 1991/92, Kevin "T-Rex" Willis beat him out in win shares that year?
Wilkins is such a tool that he can't recognize Harden's sarcasm. **** the naysayers Cause they don't mean a thing Cause this is what style we bring
If Kobe Bryant played, he would still played the 4th Quarter. He didnt care about peoples feelings one bit, especially the opponent. Why is Jordan, Kobe so hated and loved Killer attitude. Hawks Franchise need to look in the mirror. Their defense was garbage. Dont blame your own Lottery Team on James Harden. Great players love facing bad teams to get Career Highs. Ask Kobe Bryant. Ask Jalen Rose when he was on the Raptors, defending Kobe 81 points. Yes Kobe played in the 4th. Mike Budenholzer left that trash Franchise for a reason.
