Why does he always swing his arm when the opponent drives past him? Is he going for a steal? Or is he trying to pat his opponent's back? "Well done, you deserve this basket!"
Jacky Z shows how much the game has changed. Back in the 80's you'd give your opponent a fist to the face if he drove past you. Nowadays you give them a pat on the back, lol.
+Kenneth Donnelly I agree. It's like you see everyone kicking their butts out on defense and then this fool let's in a layup, after that has the audacity to raise his hand...you damn right is your fault..just to allow another layup..its one think to leave shooters open, but the amount of layups and drives they get on this guy is ridiculous..A teammate should have already fought him in the locker room, but this generation of players are extremely sensitive...Dwight is just a teddy bear, with that size he should have put anyone and everyone in a headlock including the coach when things went left lol
+John Blaze I don't think it's worse than Garden's but Love gets a pass just like Curry does because his team is a Finals contender...just the dumb way the NBA goes
Donald Trump look at this only off ball. like every other superstar player can't play off ball defense. lebron doesn't even play good off ball defense, Russell westbrook doesn't, Durant, and a shit ton of other superstars... y'all making it seem like harden has shit defense overall. because his on ball defense is one of the best in the league at the guard position.
Lol James Harden plays defense how I play on 2k.I can play def on 2k,but I swat at the ball so many times to get a steal.Sometimes I give up a lot of points by doing that,but at least I avg 2.2spg.He literally swings at the ball every time,because he wants a steal.Most of the time I shut my man down,unlike Harden lol.
Moi u got a great point 👍🏻👍🏻. He simply can't defend only three points is what he likes to shoot 1-2-3 under his legs then shoot that's all he can do or likes to do
+A.C. Slater I got u too man but big player like him needs to make big time plays n now n then is not good enough man he needs to work on his defence a lot that's just my opinion man.
if he gets beat, he immediately just gives up. he plays like he has 5 fouls all the time. I mean seriously, at least run after the guy, he just stands in one spot staring at whoever has the ball. guys just cut and get a wide open layup. how did his college coaches not take one look at his defense and say, " you're gonna get smoked in the NBA".
This video is proof that you can't just break someone else's ankles. You can also break someone else's brains. He plays defense like his shoes are nailed to the floor.
Actually frustrating to watch him.... so lazy and doesnt seem to give a shit... just lets them go by, sometimes even putting his hands down by his side... I am actually confused by his attitude , its like he is tanking, so they score or something haha. Pure offense, clearly doesnt care while his team mates are scrambling all around him in the paint, he just watches, how can nobody be ripping his head off!!!
+Shadow this video shows how a superstar which the media created and everyone believed to be great and make a team better actually just hurts a team and should be awarded a real WDPOY award, so tired of the nba being all about scoring its a team sport
James Harden is a Elite NBA Player and the best shooting guard. He averaged 29 in his down year. If he was to hit the market next year every team, exec, and fan would want him on their team. Some of you may very well be upset this isn't occurring. Some of you non basketball fans need to watch the actual games.The 2015 James was the best player in the league which earned him first team all NBA and player's MVP. He led the Rockets to a division title in the leagues best division(SAS,DAL,MEM,NOP) without D12. This past season, Dwight Howard admittedly quit on the team. James was put in a position where he didn't have any help. HE IS THE OFFENSE. At the time, no other rocket player on the team could create a shot or even dribble for that matter.These are things that aren't being addressed when you idiots state all he does is dribble. He's the Rockets point guard. I don't hear this shit when Chris Paul is at helm.The Rockets shouldn't have even made the playoffs but only he made it possible. Stop the fucking nonsense. You new wave of troll NBA fans are the worst. You literally no nothing about basketball. Before you mention dude's defense, look around the league at the defense of every other NBA star. Only a handful of those guys are elite two way players. To only bash James for defense is stupid. He's not that bad of a defender, he just makes mistakes on defense like most young players do.
+Jack Sparrow in 2k13 he has 82 defensive rating if I'm not wrong, but during that time quickness and speed also included for calculating defensive rating, so despite his rating, it's really easy to get past him. It's kida jokes when spot-on shooter AI like kyle korver can even get ankle breaker from him.
is that why dwayne wade has worse stats than him on D last year. Now we know why you have kobe as your avater instead of MJ. It's because you know nothing about basketball. If you argue with me I have stats that will make you cry. Go play NBA2k17 with the rest of the kids that know NOTHING about basketball. Are you gonna cry now boy?
oh shit you're that fucking guy 😂 my bad bro I didn't know you would get triggered from a fuckin joke. Btw my avatar has literally nothing to do with my knowledge on basketball, so you can shove that right back up your ass. I like Kobe, that's why it's there. I'm guessing Kobe probably scored 60+ on your team in the past so its okay, i forgive the hate.
you are saying it's a joke now because I'm about to own you huh? Look how little you know about basketball that you think he plays no D at all. How does it feel to be owned?
I think y'all need to know that James Harden is basically the offense for the rockets and how much does in games. And how long he stays in you can't blame him for not putting effort in defense when he actually wants to try to play defense you get pretty tired playing offense and then converting to defense in the middle of a game or late in game.
No fucking way! I watched 2:30 against the Hawks over and over again. The prick actually side-steps out of the fucking lane to let the man through and then just politely watches him go. Forget Spike Lee, Jack Nicholson and everyone else sat courtside - this fool has the best seat in the house on the damn floor.
Kind of looks like in hockey when they're trying to kill a 4 on 5 penalty. I like how he claps his hands sometimes as if he's thinking "damn I almost got him!" LOL.
One season he's one of the top players in the league and a legit MVP candidate. The next season his defense is terrible and he isn't on a single All-NBA Team. Crazy how much of a difference a year makes, huh?
James Harden looks like my cousin when he plays ball.. hes 9 years old and has flat feet. I tell him this is what he's going to look like when he's older if he doesnt get them arches in his shoes for support. James, get some good feet man!
That's known respecting your opponents in the royal style.Harden defensive theory:-"Brother usually i m lost in my thoughts..when you are steaming in towards the basket, I will move one hand up slightly...its your wish whether you want to get a basket or give me a high five later on after scoring :)"
