    The Houston Rockets guard told CNBC Wednesday that he’s halfway through ESPN’s documentary “The Last Dance,” which details the last championship run of the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls during the 1997-98 season. Harden said he’s slowly dissecting the documentary, analyzing Jordan’s competitiveness as he awaits the NBA’s return.

    “I just can’t watch it to watch it,” Harden said. “I want to see the ins and out and everything because at the end of the day, I am a competitor and I want to see what those dudes were going through.”

    Thought you were going to say he's also obese and diabetes.

    I can smell the diabetes off James thru the screen. On the real he's gonna be ready, rested, and ready to retaliate. Let's GO ROCKETS!!!

    It might not actually be the case that having asthma makes it worse. The data hasn't really backed that up. Theory is that the medication those with asthma take could help combat the symptoms or even getting the virus in the first place.

    I have asthma and was concerned for the obvious reason so i looked this all up. There isn't anything definitive on it. Here is just one example, but this is basically the gist from everything i've read

    And another (https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/86323):

    He also said this:

    Harden said he would play games again without fans, but would feel comfortable returning when the pandemic has “calmed down all the way to a minimum.”

    It would make sense why he was not included in the meeting of superstars.

    cp3 skipped him for the meeting and now his throwing his typical tantrum. Anyways, this is playoff time and it's not like he ever shows up.
