I wish he wouldn't do this at all. I need James, PatBev and everyone else rested for the the stretch run.
Harden should do the skills challenge too. I mean, he is our point guard lolol I hope/think Harden will be gunning for All-Star MVP this year, especially if he starts. His last few all-star games he never really looked too into the game but I can totally see him getting an easy 25+ and 10+ assist. He is on a mission this year, a sort of resurgence and redemption to silence all his critics and naysayers and place himself in the likes of LeBron and KD, if not the very greatest the game has seen. It's going to be amazing to see how far he will take the Rockets!
What if harden wins?. Would that add a star to his repitore considering he's an already good player. I mean obviously this holds no barring over how people performe in games but still I think MJ has won and list both the dunk contest and three point contest. You gotta do it all, although dunking isn't nesscarey to be good at driving.
He was expelling more energy proving his defensive prowess in those first 11 games. The. He got good at it. Now he is setting another milestone for himself... Thats called drive and excellence. And good hype for the league, so what?
1). Its a three point contest not slam dunk. 2) Through this, harden makes himself into an elite 3 pt shooter just like he made himself a good defender will make him completeley unguardable.
I feel like Harden really wants to win this , especially with Klay and Curry in there. I hope he catches fire
When is the starting 5 for the ASG announced? Kerr did say he'd decide between Klay v Harden based off of a shootout. That'd be hilarious if he actually used the results from the 3-pt shootout to determine the starter.
