Morlock O · Oct 2, 2013

Defensive leader = Howard
Offensive Leader = Harden
Moral Leader = Lin
leader at having fun = Parsons

I feel that a leader need to:

Communicate well: I feel Parson and Lin communicate pretty well while Harden and Howard keeps it to themselves. History shows that Howard never says what he feels

form 1:1 relationships: Lin and Parson again excel in this as Parson was a big part in recruiting Howard to this team. Lin also have great 1:1 relationships as he always try to keep in touch with his teams such as sending a text message to T. Jones and other D-league players that are on the rockets roster to don't give up and keep trying. He's like the caring mom of the team a little bit.

a good listener: You have to be a good listener, you can't just be like it's my way or the highway. Not forcing your way and listen to the other side of it first. It seems like they are all average in this aspect.

Ability to identify their own strength and weaknesses and address them: Lin in my opinion, did this all last season. His handle, turnover, 3-pointers were all bad and slowly improved. he always talk about his mistakes and how he wants to improve them. Harden did talk about wanting to improve on his defense this off-season but throughout last season I didn't hear him saying anything about owning up to his mistakes.

need to acknowledge the need for change: Lin as stated above. Howard too in this regard since he denied more money and came to us.

Optimism and confidence for morale: Lin fail at this. He looked like a sad puppy last season. Harden and Parson are always confidence on and off the court it seems like.

Be passionate: they all are. I know that not many people know that Lin have a very harsh work ethic but he does. Harden does too and he goes at his workout very very hard.

Influential, ability to make people do things: Parson seems like the best at this. The combination with his pretty boy face and soothing voice and his whole persona, its hard to not wanting to do what he wants.

In these qualities, everyone have different deficit but they are filled by the others. But Lin have a lot of these qualities.

I couldn't quite gather from your post. Are you a LOH?

“I’m just trying to set a tone,” Harden said afterward, “set a tempo for the younger guys and even the veterans on what we need to do to be good this year.”

Harden’s new superstar running mate wasted no time echoing the importance of establishing that industrious attitude and work ethic right out of the gate.

“[Harden] ran the floor hard and pushed himself to the limit and as a leader that’s what you have to do,” said Dwight Howard. “Me and him, we’re on the same page and we understand what we have to do as leaders of this team. We’re going to push everybody to the limit.

who is our team captain this year?

leaders sometimes are not the best players

i think Battier for example was a good leader but he is not the most talented guy

i would probably have Parsons and Lin and co-captains

Dwight has baby mama issues and Harden loves paying for hookers so not the most stable bunch in the group

LOL, I have to say I laugh every time I read that last sentence. Does Harden really pay for hookers? Going to a strip clubs is one thing, but paying hookers, as someone says that's just messed up for a star player like him. haha
