    This thread is about a winner and celebrating CP3’s accomplishment. Can we stop diluting it by mentioning the fat bearded bum loser? K thx.

    It means he is not criticized AS MUCH or AS HARSHLY .. . . no one is saying no one else is criticized. . . .are you missing that part?

    Westbrook I don't think should have been MVP but he should be All NBA - Dude averaged a triple double and could not make 3rd team All Nba?

    The level is criticism is severely biased bc of who this original conversation began with. especially when he said no other sport clowns a top 5 player. Are you missing that part

    no he should not be all nba. for what? putting up counting stats that led to more losses than wins. Who cares about that. Beal being on there was a joke too

    just letting you know that it’s become coolant fashionable to bash harden to get brownie points from other people

    Well, turns out Doc and Byron Scott were not that great either. Doc got lucky he had that team in Boston otherwise would be ringless.

    It has to be a perfect fit down from management to the coaching and ownership.

    Chris Paul is the epitome of being second to the likes of Duncan, Lebron and Kobe, then he got old, injury prone and new stars crept up.

    If you look at CP3, all you see is a tiny person playing the game of giants and not looking very athletic.

    He was not blessed with the best physical gifts and made it up with smarts and grit.

    so you are giving cp3 the bad coach excuse but not harden interesting. Also I believe Monty Williams coached cp3 when he was on the Pelicans so what was cp3s excuse there

    load management= laziness and theft( you basically healthy and not working)

    I remember when ESPN wanted harden to take some games off and he scoffed at the idea

    I doubt it is an excuse if Harden has a 6'5 frame with longer wingspan and a lot more bulk.

    He's put in a position to succeed, and yeah, Chris Paul never had that kind of natural gifts.

    The sport is called Basketball and not Gymnastics where short people have advantages.

    And to your question, yes, I think Chris is more coachable but Harden has a mind of his own which isn't necessarily negative if put to good use.

    Harden applied his takes as he saw fit whereas Chris very likely talked it through with coaches.

    I was never a part of a team so I can't know for sure what's going on in their meeting room.

    I never said CP was the better player lol. There is no excuses, just saying a lesser player has a chance to win a ship.

    load management doesnt mean you living healthy and taking a good care of your health... last time i checked he had a lot of tattoes... it cant be good for your health to permanenty insert the chemicals in your body.... it also cant be good for health to always be so serious and restrained....
