    Apparently, you know nothing about show biz... It got tweeted out by a known Rocket Hater didn't it? Now everybody is reading about it and know the content of the book without having to ship out books or other media. It's genius. Go out and make a sex tape if you wanna be rich and famous.... make sure it's with another race. You're gonna go viral.

    That dude works for ESPN/Disney/Media Machine... He has to tote the company line and the narratives. "Selectivity" is whatever Disney dictates. You think he's gonna tweet out snyding comments to Cuban? Kerr? Hell no!

    The Warriors were able to be low key because the media kept jamming it in our ears that Curry was going to win MVP since the 2nd week of the season.

    Warriors had free "Curry for MVP/Best Player Ever" endorsements all season with those Jamie Fox - Under Armour and State Farm Commercials.

    James Harden had a 10 second plug about how awesome the breakfast at Taco Bell is..

    And people like Zach Lowe wonder why Houston fans get angsty about our lack of media attention..

    This was the video inside the book:

    The designer of the book had this project up on his online portfolio and had it included in there: https://www.behance.net/gallery/25514781/James-Harden-2015-MVP-Book

    Lol Kerr.

    You should be for the NBA banning Twitter than, too ... Because we all know we haven't heard enough from Draymknd Greens mom yet...

    The Golden State we don't care about awards just winning except for when we lose awards Warriors.

    Having watched the promotional video, it is stylish, but it is also chock-full of hard DATA showing Harden's overwhelming dominance and value to his team this season. Data, not anecdotes. Are these guys going to ignore all of that (don't answer that) because it came in a slick package instead of a boring press release? Morey's answers are, of course, efficient and slicing.

    These writers can eat a fatty.

    There's nothing wrong or even unusual about a team promoting its players to the media.

    Agree with you.
    The numbers make it hard not to vote for Harden.

    I just watched the video and I am offended.

    Seriously, why is this even a news story again?

    That green week comment by kerr had me rolling! That's media savvy, folks. That ******* is playing politics.


    If Morey's not careful, he'll end up with another cuban type rivalry.
