    What Harden said is ture though. If you are an objective fan of the game, you have to agree with what he said.

    I love this so much. Very rare to see James ever say something like that. You know it pissed him off greatly. The disrespect he gets from the league and media is on another level. Not even top 5 in MVP voting... I know he said he didn’t see the Giannis quote but you know he did and he won’t ever forget it.

    The Crazy thing is. . . The best way for the Rockets to get to the Finals
    Maybe to pick a fight with Giannas and the Bucks
    So the Finals is a "grudge" match

    Haha, I don't believe Harden when he said he didn't hear the joke from Giannis and I laughed when he claims he doesn't talk about how he gets doubled every night and yet he is talking about how he doesn't get doubled every night.

    He's obviously bothered by what Giannis said and is throwing major shade back at him and how the NBA perceives him. Good. It clearly motivates him.

    Lmao, the majority of NBA fans are minorities. Selling jerseys as a white player is literally harder if we’re going by race.

    Isn’t it crazy how people that pull the race card also tend to be complete morons? It’s almost like a connection exists.

    Explain why the media loves Luka then. Not like Dallas is a huge media market. He copied his entire game from Harden, yet everyone loves him.

    I always felt that the worst thing for Harden to ever receive is praise from the media or acceptance from other players on other teams.

    Actually DFW is a larger media market than Houston (because it is actually 2 large cities. I think Luka get's the love because the media has a more anti-Houston bias. Also think about the commentators in the NBA - a large percentage of them are people of color, so to say that Luka gets attention because he is white..nah, I don't think so.

    Bucks going 72 and 10 while harden is gonna get his coach fired!
    Harden sneaker line has been trash for four years now.

    Harden is not gonna become a overnight celebrity by trying to throw shade at the real MVP, giannis.

    Harden is dumpster juice and needs to shave!
    Multiple sauces reveal that Harden vs giannis is the new media narrative?!?

    GTFO

    He's a new player on a team without expectations. Harden was loved his breakout season as well. People just don't remember. The narrative on Harden went south because of a few reasons.

    1. Video of his defense that went viral
    2. His ability to draw fouls
    3. Some bad games in the playoffs

    Harden said things in a subtle manner without using Giannis’ name as a rejoinder to the latter’s nasty comments about him. James is focused on winning a NBA championship by playing on both ends of the floor. He has confidence in himself and his teammates.

    James is literally the realest celebrity I think I've ever seen. He is always himself. Fame didn't **** with that dudes head at all.
