well obviously he is not being paid like a “rando” and he just made the all star team last yr. so y is harden getting more smoke when haden hasn’t made an allstar or all nba team since 2020
i’m not talking about historically. i’m talking now and the facts are harden hasn’t made an all star/all nba team in 4 yrs while derozan has. yet harden is critiqued like he still is providing mvp level impact
Same reason embiid gets crucified every season and nobody says a word about dame. One guy matters, one guy doesn’t. The one that matters gets the hate
why does a non-all star/all-nba player get more smoke than pg13 who literally just made the asg this year you are saying harden matters more than pg13
Not sure how familiar you are with history but harden was an mvp, and had multiple top 2-3 finishes as well. He's a top 30 all time player. PG13 is nowhere near that, never has been never will be. Guys at harden's level get treated differently, again, look at how much everyone trashes embiid. Dirk is another great example, he was mocked and ridiculed for his playoff failure probably more than even harden or embiid, till he won and it all flipped. It's just how it works.
Probably because Derozen doesn't keep quitting on teams and teammates, demanding trades, telling people he's "the system", or accusing GMs who did everything for him of being liars. Humble players get a lot more slack. Arrogant or *******-ish ones don't. That's why no one really roots for a Kyrie Irving type either and no one hated David Robinson. It's also what made people like Lebron, Kobe, and Shaq so complex - arrogant but also won a lot.
so why was harden hated in houston, long before all the “i am a system” and trade demands ever took place morey did everything for harden.. that’s laughable, all morey did was trade for him. harden was elite by his 3rd season in okc. also luka ain’t humble and the media loves him. luka even made an 1st first team all nba despite missing the playoffs last szn
but that’s my point, he’s not that guy anymore since the hamstring tear. i would understand if they treated curry, lebron and durant like that cause those guys are still making all star teams. harden hasn’t in 4 years lol.. what is the media expecting harden to play like yo ho out and get 30-35 points every game.
not since 2020 has harden made an all nba team. the ringer and cbs had their top 100 players and both list had harden in the 50ish range behind players like derrick white and jrue holiday lol
And he swears he’s not @HardenVolumeOne and @RocketsDraftTV lol. I knew it was that racist joker right when he reappeared again.
I am fairly confident the Clippers will not improve in the off-season. So it follows that we will get a slightly older version of what we saw this year in 2024-25. Look forward to it!
