    Harden is taking up entire segments on TV on a consistent basis

    before Giannis made those comments about being the face of league and talked about Bron, the amount of time the media had spent talking about him this season probably didn’t even add up to 10 minutes

    Harden is being talked about so much because what he is doing is legendary...he should be MVP

    Thought it was hilarious on Tuesdays ringer NBA podcast the dude from Memphis who just despises Harden said without joking that obviously the thing people are going to remember most when they look back at this regular season is the Greek freaks dominance.

    this is just a side note, but I’m tired of people acting like Rockets fans are being hypocritical for wanting Harden to win over Giannis as if it would equate to another Russ type MVP...that is so dumb

    Isola had it right. They hate Harden because he is too "urban" for them instead of SJW. When he was hitting the club, being a young man, and hanging out with a lot of THOTs they looked down on him as trash. This is just like Cowturd. Once someone decides they don't like you their bias makes them find any excuse to justify it. I agree with his criticisms of Wall (on the court and locker room only) and Brodie. He wanted to lump Harden in there. Harden is not the DPOY but he is not trash either. Idiots still keep talking like it is 3 years ago because they really don't watch the Rockets' games. If Harden was in NY or LA then they would be all over his jock. I won't get into the other biases but the corporate media is consumed by groupthink because they are mostly lazy cowards. You still have some good ones and the underground ones you see pop up that will stay fair. Most have a mainstream reputation to protect and will just go with the flow. Oddly same thing happens at times in research circles. People go where the money is and people pay for desired results.

    I never imagined myself liking PP more than Tracy. Tracy disgust me with his jealousy over Harden’s success.

    The older T-Mac gets, the douche-ier he becomes.

    Time to retire again, Tracy. Go play baseball or something.

    1 milwauke isnt the best team in the league, they play in the east church league and their record doesnt count the same as the west teams record

    other than that
    2 giannis has more help than harden - allstar teammates, and harden has ZERO all star teammmates
    3 giannis had a healthier team than harden

    translation

    harden is a clear cut MVP
    if not
    the award is broken

    the nba media wont allow anybody to surpass Lebron as a player, even when lebron is past his prime. I just popped in NBA 2k19 and noticed they lowered hardens overall from 97 to 96, but at the same time they lowered lebrons from a 98 to a 97. So even the video games are on that bs, 2k didnt want harden and lebron to have the same rating. I dont know if LeBron has a contract with 2k sports to only have his name rights in the game if he is the highest rated player or what. I remmeber in the 90's michael jordan was not in a few video games

    Interesting coming from someone who bailed out on the team to get his knee scoped in NYC. Him and Kenny deserve each other. Lol.

    No, he was always a douche. The red tinted glasses are just wearing off since he doesn't play for the rockets anymore. He sucked and was no better than Francis. At least Francis wanted to be in Houston.

    Turncoat McGravyboat. Working for the man.


    Harden is probably just jealous he’s not on mcgrady’s level of international fame.

    Yep. If LeBron was doing this for the Rockets or if Rockets were LA, NY, or Chicago.... Giannis losses by a landslide.

    Steven A introduced the West's superiority over the East for one of first times I've heard any media mention it.

    Hopefully the trend continues.

    Yeah also, his facts aren't even accurate considering Harden did similar before MDA arrived.

    People sound so bias and/or ignorant by omitting obvious facts.
