Hung out with Isaiah Canaan and Troy Daniels this weekend

I love that they're still close.

 

Both could be Eddie House 2.0. Come in, jack up some open 3's, move the ball around, hopefully don't get destroyed on defense.

 

No to Canaan for being only hot and cold shooting. Maybe to Daniels if he can create his own shot or does something else decent on the court.

 

TWSS.

 

Thanks for the insight & info. Would love to them back.

 

Didn't James or Dwight do something amazing for Daniels or Cannan? My memory fails me, but didn't one of them buy those guys like a super cool pair of kicks right on the spot?

 

yeah when TD was here him and Harden were out shopping in a pricey store

On James Harden:

“So I didn’t have the kind of money where I could afford to buy that type of shoe…And before I knew it, James looked at me and he went…”put them up there on the counter. I’ll get’em for you.”…I can afford nice shoes now, and that’s a blessing. But none of them — not even the ones I’ve bought for myself — mean as much to me as that first pair, from James. And the irony is, I don’t even wear those shoes now because the gesture meant more to me than wearing them ever would.”

 

Thanks op. I still like these guys (add Covington), would be cool to have them back.

Designer Sneakers

I’m really into designer sneakers, high-end sneakers: Balenciaga, Giuseppe, Christian Louboutin. What I like about high-end sneakers is that they’re so well made. I don’t wear them so people can look at me and go, “Nice shoes.” But at the same time, I like to collect quality things.

I’ll tell you how I got my first pair.

About two years ago, I was in Atlanta with James Harden — back when James and I were teammates on the Rockets. We were at the mall, and I saw this nice pair of shoes. I mean they were real nice. And I turned to James, and I said, “Hey James, you like these shoes?” And he said, “Yeah, those are fly.” I just couldn’t stop admiring them.

They were really expensive, though — and this was when I was brand new to the League, not yet established. So I didn’t have the kind of money where I could afford to buy that type of shoe. But I still kept looking at them, sizing them up, just, you know … taking them in. It was this aspirational thing.

And before I knew it, James looked at me and he went, “Hey man, throw them up there. Throw them up there on the counter.” And I asked him, “What? What do you mean?” And he was like, “Put them up there on the counter. I’ll get’em for you.” You might think that that sort of thing happens in the League all the time, but trust me, it doesn’t. James is one of the real ones. I was so appreciative.

I can afford nice shoes now, and that’s a blessing. But none of them — not even the ones I’ve bought for myself — mean as much to me as that first pair, from James. And the irony is, I don’t even wear those shoes now because the gesture meant more to me than wearing them ever would.

 

You know what they say.

Anyone, literally, anyone, is better than Brewer.

Harden thinks that just because he purchases sneakers for his teammates he can then slack off on defense and they'll cover for him? Trade him!

 

should've asked him about the nutgrab and how numb it was the following days

 

Thanks, AB. Always glad to see a post of yours.

 

they are the light out shooters we need, plz get them morey

 

I have a huge fondness for both players as Rockets, especially Tr3y.

 

If anybody wanna bump my Troy Daniels slept on FA thread that'd be greeeeat

Very nice. Thanks for the info. I agree about the potential to attract talent, but what he does with them is the 2nd part of that story. lol.
