    Whatever, man. After coming to the Rockets, Harden became HOF and megamillionaire. He's enjoying life. You should too.

    My stance is that this : https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/mvp.html has been right at predicting who will win almost EVERY SINGLE YEAR. The one outlier was Russ winning over Harden.

    So I’d say as of today still, Harden would be lucky if he was voted MVP.

    I don’t agree with it nearly as much as I did a month ago, but the thing is dead on accurate.

    The rest of the team should have to donate their salary to him. He is the team. What a bunch of stiffs that can't hit a shot! The way the Knicks looked last night, I was jealous of their role players. Glad Gordon is at least flashing in a few clutch times.

    Superstars are always underpaid in the NBA system because of the max contract and the cap limits.

    One suggestion for curtailing super teams is getting rid of max contract. That way, most superstars would be paid their real values and teams would not be able to hoard several franchise level players. But that would never pass the Player Union because it would dry up the money for the middle class players which comprise of the majority of players.

    Honestly, I don't feel bad for him this time. We all know that he's great and scoring career and franchise high is something truly special and especially hard with this current "supporting" cast ( Well, maybe some are missing on purpose :eek: lol ). First of all, the team won and he is the main reason. This guy loves to ball and seems like he loves playing in historical places. So, if you ask him, if he is willing to score with his unbelievable talents on a night at MSG and deliver 61 Points with nobody else helping him and his team still wins, and while earning max salary doing the thing he loves, I bet he would take this everytime.

    welp... basketballreference.com also says our best 3 point shooter this year is Danuel House... https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/HOU/2019.html - at .390... and it's been pretty dead on posting actual stats EVERY SINGLE YEAR... No qualifier needed...

    ...so there's that.... lmao! ;)

    I know you know that House isn’t our best 3 point shooter.
