James Harden said he was the best player in the world. Everyone shit on him. Called him delusional. Now people are crowning him top 5 and an MVP favorite.

It's because of all the negativity he received from fans and the media. Almost every fan of the NBA sees him as a loser, a flopper, and a giant ref baiter. They said he was all about stats and didn't care about his team. They said he would never improve that putrid defense he once had. People were saying all kinds of things to ruin Harden's image. This season, he's a different player and he's proved to be a legit MVP canditate. I remember when we were arguing whether or not he was even a star last year.

Things can change pretty quickly.

Probably because he is all of those things.

Okay. Don't think they saw him as a "star" player though. Now fans and media see him as an MVP candidate and a legit franchise player. I remember you saying last year that Monta Ellis was better than Harden

He really has evolved as a player. I can't wait to see how he does in the playoffs. His improved mid-range J, passing, and defense should help him perform better even if he doesn't get the calls he normally gets in the regular season.

Ellis was better than Harden last year, and it wasn't even close. This year Harden has probably surpassed him but it's really a tossup imo.

Great point. He called that shit.

Life must be tough for you with Harden balling out every night. At least the Bucks are decent.

I agree, I am one of Hardens biggest detractors, but he has proven me wrong, again tho, I wanna see this translate in the playoffs this time around.
