what a FOOLISH statement, do you know how long the nba has been around. If a guard could do what Harden did this past season, then it would have been done literally more than a handful of times. Harden is better than lillard, klay, lowry, draymond, all these guys but somehow he wasnt on all-nba, it makes you question the voters integrity at least in the NFL, the voters may not like a guy like Cam Newton. But they are not gonna screw him out of an mvp or awards that he busted his ass for like James Harden has been in the NBA. Just another reason why I find the NFL a more honest league than the NBA, around the NBA all-star game whenever i hear people debate who should start between klay thompson and james harden i cringe. Simply because one guy is a limited player, and the other is multi-talented. It would be like somebody naming aldon smith 1st team all-pro over jj watt because aldon smith had more sacks( totally ignoring what jj watt has to go up againist being the main guy teams gameplan for in comparison to aldon smith) If you hate Harden fine, but when you allow that hate to affect how you vote on that said players season. Then you have a broken system and correuption at the highest level. P.S. the NBA Players and NBA Coaches should vote on NBA Awards, NOT MEDIA MEMBERS, dudes like shaq who have a platform name a top 5 player shaqtin a fool. And if Harden was insecure with himself like dwight howard, he would have probably got on tv and cried like a girl after that, thats just something you dont see in the NFL. Top 5 players being shamed
Not very clever... Shall we wage war? Brang that ass Cletus!! You'll walk over but you'll limp back!!!
We already know its a travesty harden didn't even make an all-nba team. He literally put up the same numbers as an MVP rose and wasn't voted on. Media members who didn't vote for him at all should have their rights to vote removed.
'F' em - Hope this pisses him off and he comes into the season better and meaner than ever. Glad he's signed an extension. Glad he's a Rockets player. I watch the games and know what he brings. He has my respect and love.
Blame it on Dwert for not accepting the role he's best suited for and that helps the team. Those two running the pick and roll is about as unstoppable a play as there is in the game of basketball .... If Howard accepts that role and continues to play great defense and rebound .... they are a lot better team than they were last year and this is all moot.
It's a media and fan bias/agenda against him.... Players around the league respect his greatness... From the best of the best like SnakeD... From greats like Kobe... From role players like Jared Dudley or borderline all-star caliber guys like Isaiah Thomas.
Well when he didn't follow Cyber's claim of us going hard at him (No shade, Cyber ), of course he is underappreciated. 2nd leading scorer on a team who can shoot (Brewer/KJ) and doesn't make nay of the all NBA teams. That's some bull. James is training hard. Watch him come back and show who the real MVP is. This isn't tracy mcgrady.
There are two sides of the ball. If you don't bother even pretending to try on the other end, you don't deserve an all NBA slot. Perhaps they should make an all NBA offensive team like they do defense so the one sided players can feel redeemed. Or James harden could play defense this year.
