Dude was in his best shape since his OKC thunder days last season and he made a discernible effort in getting into that shape last off-season by having a strict diet and it paid off with an MVP season. So you are right, his body of work is self evident. And him being in his best shape allowed him to have a MVP season.
Your take is very reasonable but I have to play devil's advocate here. Is it really "Our" team? Last time I checked, Tilman owns the Rockets. So unless somebody on this board is him, then we aren't in any position to hold any player on the roster accountable. You can't hold anybody accountable unless you are supporting them financially.........Harden's checks will still get cashed if nobody ever watched a single Rockets game ever again. ************** Look I'm as much of a fan as everybody else, but if we are going to keep it real then lets keep it ALL the way real.
I feel you. We can't really dictate anything to the players or hold them accountable. All we as fans can do is put out a vibe. The more of us share the same vibe, the better the chances are that players/coaches/staff pick up on it.
Fat or no fat he amazed me with these private run killings. He looked unstoppable out there, he's the juggernaut b****.
I'm sure Harden dgaf what a bunch of nobodys say about his physique on some random website... why do u? U probably tell yourself that you're 'making a stand for what's right' and 'changing the narrative' or whatever... welp, maybe you should get over yourself... the rest of us are just having some fun... u can take your pc bs and shake it on down the street... imho... lol ...jus sayin...
He was a puppy in okc compared to what he has been here for the last 4 maybe 5 years. The one year he came in heavy was due to injury, which he pretty much played back into shape in like what....a month? He has come back every year stronger. Looks like the trend continues. I just don’t get the need to openly deny such things.
Again. Since joining our beloved franchise only the guy who has a strong argument for the GOAT has done more to add to the W column than Harden and only by a tiny margin. Yet every year it’s the same ****.
My God..... some of you need to pull out stick out of the a**. You think James cares about those comments? Just go to Meek Mills instagram with this photo and read through comments section. Even Rudy Gay poked fun at him for that belly Let me explain it to you why these thread exists and is getting attention: Internet boards = entertaiment I love Harden and I was just playing with yall putting my thread into the bee hive. Cause I know the effect that fat James threads generate. But if you want to be analitycal you can't deny that for a pro athlete small things matter in the long run and bad eating habits + substances(what you think he doin with all those rappers @strip clubs? drinking beer lol?) can hurt him down the line. If you think this weight doesn't affect his joints then you know nothing bout ball. Everyone has his 'best weight' and Harden is no slim dude. He plays better when he's jacked. But if now he can overcome it easily due to genetics Im just not sure it will carry over in the long run. And habits will carry over. And for those of you who act like our team is all that let me remind you that we didn't win shi* yet and James has history of running out of gas in crucial moments
Have seen him consuming A1 sauce but where is he drinking beer? Would luv a pic. He also does not rely on pure speed, he changes the pace and moves well enough with the ball due to his craftiness. He'll never be cheetah type of player.
There is only one guy and he is a GM with chins. He is healthy looking. Comes in every offseason the same way.
