James harden is a one man wrecking machine. I love his iso game and the step back three. That euro step cause him to look like he's traveling , but it's really two big steps he's taking and a lean to the basket at times. Looking forward to seeing what he's Gonna do with Howard. James can pass but that's not his game. Should be a great 13-14 season. If Lebron play better this season than last season. Lord have Mercy on the players guarding him.
People said the same things about T-Mac, but Doc Rivers said he was one of the most unselfish players he had ever coached. It's all a matter of your position on the team and what you're asked to do.
This guy really reminds me of paul pierce.the way he gets to the rack and how he creates space is very alike.the guy is a great shooter scorer and passer
The Thunder time and time again have said to balance their offense, they need bench scorers. So long as they have Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka in the line-up, why start an offensive SG? Sefolosha is important believe or not, and he also allows them to bring guys like Harden, before, and now K-Mart off the bench for balance.
@Harry DAvis yea he is and I agree maybe I wouldn't have traded westbrook but I wouldn't have traded harden either, I would've found a way to keep all three of them, and I agree on sefelosha, everyone talks about his "great" defense but every time I see him he gets cooked, and Perkins is a liability as well, he can't score, rebound, and he doesn't block many shots either, he's just a big body and you need to be more than just a big body
You must not watch enough then. Those guys come in handy situationally. Sefolosha and Perkins you might not need every game, but when it comes to playing teams with either a great perimeter scorer, or a great post player, or both, Westbrook(the one with the overrated defense) and Ibaka(Can't guard post players) won't get the job done.
Ya, but Westbrook is literally the most explosive and physically consistent player in the NBA. Comes to work everyday and gets it done. He a way better fit at point than harden. I just dont know why the hell they keep Sefelosha as starting SG. He has good defense, average offense
I love hardens game, especially since he like me is a lefty... But dude travels so bad... The NBA needs to get rod of the euro step cause its straight up a 3-4 step move with no dribbles.
he already is, fool. whos the better shooting guard in your opinion? harden is a top 5 player in the league according to all the advanced stat guys. every single one of them. this is coming from the guys who know most about the value of a basketball player, not the clown analysts on ESPN. theres not even another shooting guard in the top 10 so its kinda not even close
IM NOT A FAN OF JAMES HARDEN..IM A BASKETBALL FAN..AND THE WAY JAMES HARDEN PLAYED,,HE'S ALWAYS PLAYING FOR THE MONEY...JAMES HARDEN IS THE MAN WITH A MILLIONS MOVES...
To me I see more of a version of Ginobli at his best from Harden. Very skilled and impossible to guard when they are on fire. Nothing like Kobe. I know Kobe was compare to Jordan and so Harden should be compare to Kobe. My personal opinion is, Harden is very skilled, but compare to when Kobe was 24-25, the athleticism isn't that great. Kobe was dunking on everybody. However I think this season for Harden is going to be his best with Howard. And his going to show more of it.
@AJVersatility if he's only giving me 4.3 ppg I'm going to need more than 6 rebounds a game, and you must not have watched the nba finals last year because everybody could notice how much of a liability Perkins was being on the floor, even so much to the point where people said that he shouldn't even start anymore games for the finals because he was too big and slow to keep up with the heat
@AJVersatility19 believe me I watch enough I know my basketball and I doubt you watch enough because if you actually watched sef against those great perimeter scorers he gets burnt most of the time and in today's NBA there is a lack of post players on every team except for maybe 2 which makes perk a liability againt most teams especially against Miami who they will need to beat in the finals
To the guys who r saying that james harden is better than Lebron James... I am fan of both of them and i think that Lebron is better cause of his experiences.. James Harden will be star of NBA in the future, but now Lebron is better... GO ROCKETS!!! #FearTheBeard
no way, an NBA player traveled? breaking news homeboy, every NBA player travels. if the NBA were to call a game like refs do in highschool, no one would ever score a point.
Oh and Westbrook "way better fit" than James is a flat out lie. Watch the OKC offense. Westbrook and Durant are either one or the other, they're rarely featured together.
No kidding, getting rid of harden but not westbrook??? dumb move. Personally I thought all three together had a great chance at winning it all, but without harden, im sorry to say the thunder is doomed
