Was there a nation wide COVID pandemic this week? Check. Was Harden partying indoors with a bunch of people without a mask and is now planning on going to training camp three days later with no 2 week quarantine? Check Does this give insight to Harden's maturity level? Check. I'm logically consistent on this if you read my D&D posts. Please tell me where I'm wrong.
So I'm guessing you are on the COVID fake news camp also? Didn't know so many Trump supporters exist in the GARM. Millions of Americans are having the self-restraint not to party I doors without masks now.
don’t even try this bullsh*t with me I’ve said for months now that all u can do is protect yourself and if people want to not wear masks or gather there’s nothing u can do to stop them Me agreeing that it’s fake news? No. Fck off
Nah sadly a number of them aren’t. They think they can tell harden what to do, when to eat, how to eat, when to do what he wants. It’s Fcking pathetic. Here’s the typical losers around here looking down on a rich young black man doing what he wants on his own free time
Is OP Harden's mom? The "incessant partying" was one night during the off-season and we have no details other than there were birthday presents involved.
People need to understand hardly ANY of the players wanted to start back this soon. The season damn near just ended. Let the man do what he wants.
Jordans "partying" differed imo from say Harden and Rodman. Jordan was for sure drinking, but mostly golfing, and some instances at a casino, each involving fulfilling his competitive need. He was competing and focused on winning in these activities. It's easier to stay more sober when you're hyper focused on activities while having drinks. Clubbing/Strip Joints aint much to focus on except getting wasted and getting laid, surrounded by drugs and potential for violence to erupt at any moment. I can not fault a young star for these activities, especially if they're not on Rodman level of self harm, but by 32, you expect them to mature into a different escape. I stopped caring and grew out of those things by my mid 20s, but i could go to bars etc whereas i'm sure an NBA player can't. That's why Larry was a legend. It's so Boston and so rural small town kid of him to just show up at Boston dive bars in a denim jacket and just sit at the bar by himself drinking some beers. Hilarious image. BUT, he also got into bar fights lol.
Your argument about COVID is a different argument. The thread’s argument was not about COVID. It was about alleged rampant or “incessant” partying by James Harden and whether it will affect his performance as he ages. All of this, which has not been supported by any facts or information other than him attending a few social gatherings here and there. The thread rests on assumptions biases that makes the argument problematic and illogical since there is no confirmed truth to the premise.
There's nothing to debate. Your posts suck. If this exact same thread was made about any other player on the rockets you wouldn't be posting in it. We all know it, and you know it too. And that is why most aren't interested in the content of your posts.
I would say Harden has an issue with expressive partying if he still feels the need to during a pandemic where people are trying to actively avoid having these type of gatherings. It's an insight to his mentality.
Have you heard of any stories of harden getting drunk or intoxicated or is this an assumption? Do you know for sure Larry Bird never got intoxicated? How much does Harden drink compared to Bird? Strip clubs are “surrounded by drugs” and “violence”? Are you saying there’s no drugs or potential violence in dive bars? What are you basing your statements or perceptions on? Are these facts or just what you think is true? Are these assumptions and judgement? Or is this sound information you obtained from a secret source? The biggest problem in your argument is when you compared Bird to Harden actively choosing one person over the other when both were engaged in establishments that serve alcohol without knowing the facts of how much actual consumption went on during each men’s visit. It’s an active conscious choice to pick and choose what we want to support and believe ignoring facts and judging an individual’s character as a result. Judgement my friend.
And my argument is extremely relevant to this thread. It's about his party habits. His habit even forces him to violate pandemic restrictions.
