    For the billionth time he wanted to be the #1 pick it doesnt matter what city had the pick he would have said "I want to be there". Thats what he was saying with this comment. Why on earth is that soooo dificult to understand?

    Yes. I would rather Harden give his all to the Rockets like Yao did.

    We most likely would’ve been a bottom seeded playoff team.

    Like I said per the FBI, and that is 2021. Image the unreported numbers because nobody cares or doesn't want the heat of telling the authorities. Houston isn't perfect. I've lived my whole life here. I've traveled to most major US cities. I'd rather live and work here and visit the rest when I feel like it dealing with their crap to enjoy the better aspects (number one on that list San Francisco). Yeah we flood, massive rain storms from time to time will do that. We froze solid ONCE, it sucked but not really that big of a deal considering it was a one a century winter storm, personally gas fireplace and well insulated house, I enjoyed the change, lots of cold walks and burned my wood pile outside. But Motown has been a living hell since the fall of the big 3. It was once a great city but ruined now.

    I'm know Green wanted to go #1 but I think he is truly happy he's in Houston. He needs to keep his words short and his play can speak for itself.

    very possible. Or since he's clearly a JGOF, he's just following him around so that part of being new would make sense with his arrival

    Yeah likely some douchy LOF resurrecting the same anti-harden schtick.

    Saw it briefly with Melo too.

    Same tired annoying tactics to divide the board. Almost word for word from "newbies" who claim to be new and innocent.

    He's a JaGOF alright

    Could I see the link to where you read that, I like keeping track of these things and I think there might be some sort of misinterpretation? The national homicide rate is around 5-6 per 100k any given year, 150% would be 7.5 per 100k, Detroit's homicide rate is around 40 per 100k, Houstons is around 14-16.

    I think you might be referencing Michigan's state homicide rate.

    Of the same accord some of these Harden Only Fans are the worst and are only here to attack Jalen because he's not Harden.

    I found the article that I saw it in. It is the crime rate in Motorcity.

    Y'all should take a look at the KD and Draymond's interview on Bleacher Report. KD talked about how super stars use anything and everything to motivate themselves to be better (reminds you of someone from the Bulls?) KD also said how going 2nd instead of 1st overall made him have a chip on his shoulder and he used that as extra motivation to prove he was the better player. Not saying Jalen will be as good as KD, but you can understand why someone as competitive as him feels he should've gone 1st overall and why that bugs him. I have reasons to believe that Jalen will prove it with his game.

    Weird website lol it lists the crime rate per 100k to be 6260, and the national average rate to be 2470, and then says it 150% higher, but the difference in those numbers is over 250%. But yeah crime rate and murder rate was the confusion here.

    They do have a correct-looking murder rate listing for Detroit though if you stroll down.

    Nah that's dumb. Jalen is our hope and our future.

    Harden fans only respond and knee jerk when idiots bring Harden into the conversation with underserved shade.

    I'm rooting for Jalen on what he will do, not what he's already done.

    Wrong there the first mention of Harden in this thread was by HP3 and he was calling me a whiner over something I said about Harden almost a year ago lol This entire talk about Harden in this thread was started by a HOF when he was called out for being overly sensitive about what Jalen said.

    What he said. ^ not sure why we can’t disagree about harden without someone asking whether or not I’m vaccinated. I think that was a different thread though. But some of these harden fans are wild.

    So not to derail or argue because its stupid, seriously thou when you say trust the science.....Is it because Fauci said its scientifically proven (and its not) that the vaccine is safe and effective or is it because you have done research on your own about how the vaccine works that made you think this is totally fine.

    Fauci flip flops all the time,


    Fauci also said AIDS can be spread by contact....
