Lin by a mile. False modesty aside, Lin simply has the alpha dog mentality. Remember that this is the dude who tells Melo in no uncertain terms that he won't get the pass unless he runs the plays. Parsons is the joker; Harden is the philosopher; Lin is the leader.
On the court -- the playmakers, so Lin and Harden. Locker room leader? I have no idea. Maybe Parsons. He's the "vet" LOL
Les Alexander just called Morey, look at these number! We got a joker, philosopher, and a leader all in one off-season! Good job, Morey!
Lin, quiet and unassuming leader which will filter to the bench. Harden will be heart and soul of the team, he'll be the backbone for the Rockets.
Maybe he can start selling some Official Rockets New Age Tarrot Decks to make up for the money he's not getting from AT&T, DirectTV, and Dish Network. Also Parsons isn't from the same offseason. So White is the Hanged Man and Asik is Death?
Agree with Lin being the leader. He's been there done that. Harden I see more as someone you just don't ***k with. The kind of guy you want on your side when your at war.
Well, since you got Parsons in prior year, l'll double your bonus this year! BTW, I'll send you a few cases of my finest wines. The best part is if you are in New York, you can stay in my Penthouse!
Lin, no doubt. This is a 23 yr old kid telling 20 mil superstars what to do on a basketball court. And they're doing it.
Should be a joint effort by Jeremy Lin and James Harden. Hopefully they can become good friends and work well together but if I had to pick an overall leader I'd say Jeremy Lin because of the fact that he'll have the ball in his hands for the majority of the game. Also, Harden has yet to lead an NBA team by himself like Lin did when Melo and Amare were out. Harden had good stretches as well with the Thunder when KD and Westbrook weren't playing well but it's a lot easier to step in and lead when you know those two have your back. It's completely different to try and lead the team when you know you have to be one of the two top options.
Combination of James Harden, Chandler Parsons, and Jeremy Lin. I could see them forming a leadership trio similar to the leadership duo of Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher.
I just canceled Wednesday night dinner engagement so I can watch the game! It will be fun and exciting to see Harden in Rockets uniform! Watching you #13!
