It was fun to watch in the regular season, when his all around offensive game was on point, especially that first year with CP.
Harden was much more enjoyable to watch in his first few seasons as a Rocket because he actually played as a three level scorer. When he complete took out his kid range game then it felt like he was trying to game the sport with a gimmick at a certain point.
Well go attack them for it, their opinion is not mine Multiple people also have Bird/B Russell/Kobe over Dream on their media outlet threads (shows / GOAT list), that doesn't make it true, just that show personal bias view and what they are training the general masses to rinse and repeat Only things Jalen got on Harden is youth and way more exciting wow highlights (athletic ability) This can be revisited if Green signs second extension with Rockets, that would mean success on some level TBD
His mid-range game wasn't good enough to justify it's usage outside of floaters, besides, once CP3 got here the team's mid-range shooting needs were more than satisfied. Harden simply took the mid-range game to behind the 3 point line.
Probably wasn't fun for the other fans, if he didn't score from the field, it was FTs with him initiating contact, kinda like KD with that arm-swing move (or w/e that was, if you remember), that was annoying af. But when its your team, you don't really care
That step-back started with the midrange if I remember correctly. He was a complete offensive player by 2016.
I want referees to call as few fouls as possible. Let the boys solve it on the court. I hate dudes hunting for fouls and crying about it. Play ball.
Agreed, kinda how it is now (since the allstar break), way less FTs, its definitely better to watch (pace and the flow of the game), but at the time they were calling it, so why not keeping doing it, if you're getting the whistle
Houston rockets version of harden was the 2nd best rocket ever in my opinion. Easily top 5 even if you hate him. Love green but he has got to so aloooot more to overtake harden. Harden had a 32 game streak of scoring 30 points. Green has yet to put together 32 good games in a row
Yes bro n u get all hyped up, "this is the year when Harden is gonna prove to everyone in the playoffs, this is it, he's on the mission" n boom choke artist every single time, except for 2016 when CP got hurt, can't really hold that against him
Green is getting steals, blocking shots, running, cooking. I was as frustrated as anyone earlier in the season but what we are watching now is beautiful. I’m sorry you don’t like it.
Wade is debatable. Most non rocket fans would have Harden as the 4th best SG. Winning a ring as the man goes a long way with these rankings from a neutral perspective even if you bring up context of much stronger competition Harden has to face.
Yea the 2006 finals by Wade is a strong argument for Wade. Allen Iverson ain't better than Harden, so the worst case scenario Harden is the 4th best Sg ever.
