How does that have anything to do with being a "better" person, which by the way is your own projection? Both Jordan and Kobe are by all accounts terrible people, but both have led their teams to championships. Wilt's character by stories are extremely questionable and yet he is the considered GOAT. Chris Paul might be a "better" person in your opinion, but why is it that Harden has led his teams further in the playoffs with far less talent? The answer is extremely simple, neither have anything to do with each other.
I heard Harden is one of those people that don't re-fill the coffee pot after drinking the last of it in an office. Probably why his defense sucks.
I beg to differ, I don't think it's a lose lose situation. If you're a new player on the Rockets and base off of previous history, who's advice would you follow, CP3'S OR HARDEN'S???
What about Michael Jordan? He was the face of a Fortune 500 company, was the leader of his team and won 6 titles........... he also regularly cheated on his wife with p*rn stars, had children out of wedlock that he paid off and regularly went to the club. What about Kobe Bryant? Shaq? Magic? Bird? ..... all have done some really terrible or irresponsible things.
Harden and it's not even a question. This is his team and he is the Rocket's future. He has also had more postseason success than CP3 has ever had.
Kobe nor Jordan were bad people, per se. And I think you're taking my statement out of context. I'm saying Harden needs to get his priorities in perspective and do BETTER! And since you brought up Kobe and Jordan or even T-Mac, I DON'T THINK YOU WOULD CATCH EITHER ONE OF THEM OUT AT A CLUB AFTER A HORRENDOUS BLOW OUT AT HOME TO END YOUR SEASON......IT'S JUST SOMETHINGS....YOU...JUST...FLAT....OUT....DON'T....DO!
Some of u lames need to stay out of his personal life and worry about your own damn self. He's young, rich, and likes to have fun. So what? This thread is corny.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to pit CP3 against Harden but it's common sense. I'm not throwing Salt on Harden but how many organizations is Harden apart of? How many charities do he attach his name to? Where is his foundation? What does he do outside of making donations to Treasures and other Strip Clubs, besides his usual Feed The Homeless doing Christmas? I'm sure he has other charitable contributions but I'm just saying he needs someone to point him in the right direction and I think CP3 is that person, both on and off the court.
If you polled several Ex-NBA Players, you wouldn't know it. They give Harden NO Respect and I think Harden is top 2 or 3 in the league, outside of LeBron and Durant. I think if Harden had the IMAGE of CP3 he would have won MVP last year and 2015.
Yes you are. You're clearly stating that you know right from wrong and how do you know right from wrong? The Bible and church tell you and that's how you know better than everyone else. Harden isn't breaking the law, he's breaking your biblical sense of 'right and wrong' and that's how you brought god into the discussion. Because you pretend to know what is right and wrong and your source of your conviction is what? God?
That is your own opinion. Who are you to project onto others how they handle disappointment? Different people have different methods of venting stress and frustration. Jordan handled losses by screaming at people and throwing a temper tantrum like a little kid. Would I want Harden to do that? Hell ****ing no. I will answer that the same way as everyone has been answering it... WHO ****ING CARES?!? What does ANY of that have to do with basketball? Charities don't win games and Harden has won more games that counted than CP3 and all of his charities combined. To bring this up as somehow it makes Harden a lesser leader on the court is the epitome of stupidity. Now you are just pulling **** out of your ass. Ex-players... you mean the same people that that keep calling Harden an MVP candidate type player? Hell, even CURRENT NBA players have voted him MVP one year and had him at either 1 or 2 last year. Also, you do realize that MVP is NOT decided by former players, but by clueless journalists right?
But but Harden doesn't go golf with former presidents. He's not a great person until he hangout with retired government officials.
Adidas, BBVA Compass, 2K Sports, New Era not big enough companies for you? Or are they too urban for your taste which makes them classless?
