James Harden Playoff Highlights

So when did Haren pass Bran?

Im amazed you still speak WCF. You had people drafted in 1981 on the squad the last time your team was there.

Funny how little success it takes to turn a fanbase into douchebags.

One guy is an entire fan base?

I actually like Harden more than I used to. For all his faults, he seems like a good teammate. He's not a leader, though...and when he's not scoring, there's little else he can do to inspire his team. But, he doesn't bitch, he's trying more on defense, and you never see him yell at a teammate.

Lebron, on the other hand...**** that beta ass *****.

2x NBA Finals MVP. Same numbers of Finals MVP as Kobe.

Nah it isnt winning. Hes never won anything that would upset anyone.

I respect James Hardens talent...I gladly admit that hes going to the hall of fame if he stays healthy for a while. His handles are ridiculous....his shooting off the dribble is pretty amazing. He can pass his ass off....great player. He is a great...great player.

That doesnt mean I have to enjoy watching him play.

There is a wide group of the basketball watching public he annoys. Not like its just this kinda fan...or that kind. Fans of play x or player Y.

Im a Bulls fan...James Harden has never taken a meaningful shot against my team nor any team I cared to see win. His success means nothing to me.

But you know what? He simply plays like a bitch.

Not...a female. I played women who wouldnt do half that shit.

He plays a brand of basketball that might cause fights. Hes the worst offender ive ever seen of a player going out of his way to generate annoying foul calls. Hes not the only one to get said calls...but hes the worst offender among guys looking to create them.

I watch ball generally with a group of friends. Bulls fan(me), 2 Laker fans, a Lebron bandwaggoner who goes where he goes, A 76ers fans, and a Spurs fan who roots for the Thunder when they arent playing the Spurs.

The only thing everyone agrees on....not liking James Harden.

Nobody thinks he isnt great....but "Man....I dont like that *****..." is said 3-4 times a game.

He plays annoying basketball, he looks annoying, and he runs around making annoying gestures and being corny.

People often dont like those types. Dont take it personal.

And dont act like its haters mad over wins either.

James Harden never won anything vs a sizable fanbase.

Hes widely disliked because watching him play basketball is annoying.

You have to see that its too many different kinds of fans saying it for it to all be about wins...or just irrational hatred.

Nobody has this many people annoyed...for nothing.

Doesnt mean he isnt great. It just means hes annoying.

People have to like a guy who behaves like a clown, flails for whistles, and bores them?

When hes hot...hes entertaining. Everyone is entertaining when hot. Who doesnt wanna see great stepbacks, floaters, and crossovers?

But hes just....bothersome. Plenty of totally unbiased fans find the guy bothersome to watch. Some dont like watching Duncan. Some dont like watching Lebron. A lot of people dont like watching Harden. To quote Common:

"If I dont like it I dont like it that dont mean that im hating"

Agreed and well said, you pretty much nailed it.

1981 you said?

I never said the Rockets would lose game 7. Not in this topic or any other. In fact...the second part of that was really the point.
