How the NBA is Leaving James Harden Behind 

Nah he ain’t quit on Houston. Westbrook requested a trade and they only got a past his prime John Wall in return, And they were still playing that small ball lineup after it failed in the last playoffs. He played his heart out in Houston. It just wasn’t enough. And in Brooklyn, Kyrie could only play home games bc he chose not to get vaccinated. That was obviously not gonna work so he requested a trade to Philly and then Morey lied to his ass and put him in a tough situation. If you think he quit then you clearly don’t know the whole story

@@I713you hardens lil bro or something? 😂

@@marshallbeck9101he’s 100% right tho. Actually make a argument instead of copping out

@@I713exactly everyone just says he quits on teams without providing context

^ dude wrote a essay of excuses, I guess accountability isn’t a thing for harden.

That fool is never happy. He wants all t he money and to win, but he's a call hog. No one is going to win the way he wants.

He was justified leaving OKC. After that he's acted like a little kid.

@@ghost-typeBall hog but leads the league in assist?? WILD

​@@I713call hog he means like foul calls

@@I713took him how many years to do this 😂 yknow damn well he hogs the ball stop trying to defend this dude he don’t know you and neither will his meat 😢

i mean if you watch the whole video he says Harden bet on himself, trusted the wrong people, and lost

@@eliwallace3825he didn’t bet on himself he acted like a toddler now nobody wants him on their team. Betting on yourself is just denying a small contract hoping to get a better one not causing all this drama

​@@qdakid7776What do you want him to do though handle it "professionally" and not say why he wants out? That will hurt his name even more which no person would want so he gave you a good reason and know you mad because he handled it bad. It's a lose lose and he picked the option that he thought would look good on his name. Now if he comes playing bad on purpose then we can talk but as of right now he hasn't done anything bad.

@@greekyoungbuck he literally went to training camp with a "few" more pounds. does that not count as playing bad and acting unprofessional?

@@deeznewts4186 don't he always come with a few more pounds though? A lot of players come in "bad shape" I would have to see how he performs and his attitude on court before judging off of a few more pounds. Jokic has come back with a few more pounds doesn't mean much. Also no a few more pounds don't count as playing bad.

After that comes the inevitable embiid trade request

@@user-ug5sz7yz2v I’d trade him too. Dude done came up short in the postseason WAY TOO many times. Time to blow it up or hope Tyrese Maxey becomes SGA

Issue is they can’t even do it for one guy… Terrance Mann it’s crazy

@@filmonissak1597I wouldn’t trade Terrance Mann for James harden either. Harden too mentally unstable

look at that you can see the future

A lot of it is his fault though. His underperformances in the playoffs are one of the main reasons for his lacking success.

@@rocksmo3384 Very true

@@rocksmo3384 Sure, he whined his way to being awarded an MVP and blamed his teammates for his poor playoff performances, but I'd take Embiid over Harden any day of the week because Embiid is less disloyal and doesn't create nearly as much drama as Harden does.

When your best teammate is Ben Simmons it’s not your fault.

GET OFF YOUR KNEES

How has he acted? requesting a trade is illegal?

@@unknownrage7691no but it means teams around the league will say to themselves why bother?

@@marshallbeck9101the clippers were interested they just didn’t want to give up Terrence mann

@unknownrage7691 no but 3 different times ? The bs he pulled on the rocket alone showed who he really is. (Fat suit bs)

@@3self he had valid reason for each ? When Russ asked the rockets for a traded they traded him insane and with harden they said nah. They both asked early in the summer

He just did again lol

I don't know if he is black listed but I don't any team will use any meaningful amount of assets to trade for Harden. That's probably why he hasn't been moved yet. Though there might be something near the trade deadline.

No player gonna get blacklisted if they have something to offer. Dude is talented but his effort comes and goes. He acts like a entitled child and isn’t what he used to be to be able to get away with it. Wants teams to bend over backwards for him when he’s not that guy anymore. Trying to win a chip takes a lot more than talent alone. If bringing him into a organization destroys team chemistry while not being his prime self then what is the point? A team without shit going for themselves can bring him in for box office appeal but he’s not that dude anymore. All you will be doing is stunting growth of young guys. Would be fine if he was a good example for players but he isn’t even that. He still has plenty of game left in the tank but if he’s not willing to do his job then he’s useless to any team.

Players that get, “black listed,” as you say tend to have talent but not enough of it anymore to overcome the antics that come with them.

⁠@@codythompson9035harden doesn’t provide anything but team drama I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t picked up

@@qdakid7776 not sure you saying anything I don’t already agree with but I’m with you. Dude can offer something to plenty of teams if he can put his own ego to the side but don’t look like that’s ever gonna happen.

Ruins team chemistry??? That’s just wild. They were 3rd in the East last year with 54 wins and Harden led the league in assists. They took the Celtics to 7 games. Without him well they wouldn’t have gotten past the 1st round

@@I713harden the best pg in the league

@@JaKingScomezThat’s just extra and even more extra. He top 10 fs tho

@@I713 how is it extra

@@JaKingScomezHarden over Curry in todays game is just over the top

Even Ibaka’s career has been pretty wild.

you know what I always found weird about the trio guys of OKC, is that a lot of their flaws finally fell out of them in that 2012 finals, and now ever since, I feel like 3 of those guys still carry out the same flaws they had in that 2012 finals, so weird, I don't think they were ever going to win if they stayed together

That comment was taken out of context tbf.

He played Atlanta at home in a game 7 and lost.

Facts

@@BlueGrovylealso facts

Dude was playing on one leg lmao

whats 2 beats called tho

@@leiom2380did you find out what the sound track was

Gotta stopped that meat riding gang

What did kobe say

You gotta think about the fact they have to get the same amount of salary in return so “barely anything” has to add up to 34 million

​@@I713If that was the case the how could the sixers have offered The Clippers Harden for Mann and 2 firsts? Serious question.

@@YeshuaspupilThe clippers marked Mann “untouchable” since he’s like the best role player and young player on the team. And the Clippers are not going to give up more than 1 1st round pick for Harden

@@I713lol when Terance Mann is your best player, you know a team is screwed. 😂

@@dannyhernandez265 you missed the point

Jimmy Butler being inconsistent and Embiid being consistent at never showing up doesn't really sound like a guaranteed ring... but yeah, crazy how they relied so much on Ben Simmons and James Harden. People in the future will make videos trying to understand why they were so dumb

How 😂? Thats not a nba team

@@user-ug5sz7yz2v silver will make it happen

And how does he not deserve it?

@@I713He’s 34 and was ass in in the Celtics series, in what world is he a max guy right now?

​@@I713The only time he was ever worth a max was when he was at Houston when he was dropping 50 bombs like they were nothing....he's a cancer now

Because you knew he’d always find a way to choke it away. 27 threes is crazy

@@kaylenirbyjr5786”Choke it away”? Yea 27 consecutive threes missed is crazy but you wanna know what’s EVEN CRAZIER??? They only lost by 9 in a game 7 at home without their STARTING PG

@@I713You what’s even crazier? Despite the Rockets missing 27 straight threes (I still can’t believe that) they still HAD A LEAD over the Warriors before the lost by 9 points.

It’s not because of faith in one player, you just thought you’d never beat the warriors. Tbf y’all really almost did but still

@@DK_VandarynYea probably one of the most craziest moments in NBA history. Harden and 3 and D roll players competing against the greatest team ever assembled and almost beating them

because 15 million is not 40 million you twit! 😂

@@GBooneohexactly

Sorry bro they’re done for

Its just one game...

@@I713 Don't sleep on the sixers I'm telling you lol

Are you on meth?

Same, if we can get Lavine and some wings back I'd be okay with that. Only problem is Lavine's health and his defense but I'm hoping Nurse can find a workaround for the latter. Sixers didn't look awful and actually competed against the Bucks and since the Clippers won't give up Mann the Bulls seem like the most likely target.

That would be something special. A playoff choker and a guy who can't even make playoffs.

@@aaa-dk6jr Bulls made the playoffs, granted they were a low seed but they did with Zach.

@@sincerelynotme3522 Yeah, their playoff run was so irelevant, that I dont even remember.

? You mean 1 Train by ASAP Rocky (and others)? 🤔

@unrulybxite no.. I mean "Please don't shoot me down" by wayne from the carter 3

@@SwaggerIsAVirtue I was asking because where do you hear that in this video? 😅

Sir, Miami did not play against Denver

Yea and they lost Gabe Vincent and Max Strus while Boston and Milwaukee got WAY better. They might not make it out the first round this year
