    Harden left the Philippines more than a week ago, but this interview was only posted yesterday.

    In it, Harden reveals his mindset in playing the game. He has set a new goal for himself: "To be the best player in the NBA." When he steps on the court, his millions don't count. He remains poor and hungry.

    We got ourselves a winner when we got Harden.

    Poor? I don't know. But he definitely should remain hungry; he has a belly to burn!

    Joke aside, all stars have this swag. I wouldn't expect anything less from our star.

    I hope he reaches his goal while Dwight is still in his prime.

    I love it when Harden says things like that. Me is motivated

    He just needs to learn how to play team ball and work on playing defense and all will be good

    There are about 450 guys in the NBA who want to be the best player in the league. So what?

    Lebron might get old and degress enough where harden can become the better player at some point in the future but passing up Durant is going to be a tough task.

    I love this attitude. Always good for your superstar to remain hungry.

    I can see it now.Aafter Howard forces a trade elsewhere: "Harden was constantly telling me how he could teach me how to be the best player in the NBA."

    Aw, I am disappointed. His goal is not winning a championship.

    On offense he tells himself "I am the best in the game." On defense he says "I can wait till offense to be good again."

    I hate to be a party pooper, but isn't every player's goal to be the best?

    we just need harden to produce 20 points (48% fg), 6 rebs, 4 assist BUT play GREAT D and team ball and we are all set

    we have a deep team and need to pound the ball inside to Dwight like our days with Olajuwon and we will be golden. dont need any heroball or hardenball
