Why I don't want James Harden To Ever Win a Championship 

You don’t have to wish for James Harden to never win a championship. He is doing an exceptional job keeping himself from winning a championship.😂😂😂

This guy is one rap song away from representing everything wrong with today's NBA

I like this new side of your content. Bad behavior and bad attitudes NEED to be called out. Keep up the great work.

I actually liked the Clippers, until they got Harden.

I hear you man. Stephen A: "statue of liberty moves more than Harden" lolol

For years, I've felt the same way for Westbrook. I don't wanna see him win a chip as well. But seeing Russ play for the Clippers, repurposing himself, which made him a valuable teammate to Kawhi and PG, I'm rooting for Russ. And now the freaking beard is on board again, to mess the system once again. Seriously, I can't fathom why teams keep hiring him. I never wish something bad to happen for someone. But good lord James is making the NBA which I loved since I was in elementary look bad and stupid. I wish teams would one day wake up and end everything with James. See you in China or the Philippines or wherever.

James has always been about James, and likely always will be. I'm with you, I don't want someone who plays ball like a lawyer who expects the world to be handed to him just for being a bit clever to have a ring. It just feels like complete injustice (but sometimes happens, of course).

A lot of us are with you on this bro. Great video.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships" - Michael Jordan

You're right about "dribble, dribble, dribble", "I am the system" and the no defense. Very problematic. At least, he could try this time to share the ball and play for the team, and to put massive efforts on defense. Everyone would appreciate. Despite of that that would be cool for the Clippers (a team that never won NBA championship), with some players like Leonard, Westbrook and George, to win the championship this year. But not with Harden as MVP.

That one commentator was going hard lol all facts though

Guys like Michael Jordan Oscar Robertson Wilt Chamberlain Kobe and Kareem at one point played a style where it would lead to putting up huge numbers but eventually they changed their style cuz it was better for their teams in order to win championships and James Harden has yet to do that

Kinda felt similar about Carmelo, didn’t want that style of play to be rewarded with a ring. Harden puts every else in that category to shame.

I’ve seen this dude disappear in the post season so many times and seen ppl constantly giving him a pass it irritates me. I refuse to put him in the top 3 sg of all time. I refuse to put him in front of iverson and wade. I’ve never seen a superstar have as much help as much as harden has and still has come up short and teams are still throwing bags his way even though kobe said on live tv that hardens play style doesn’t win rings

The worst part about harden is he could actually be a great defender if he wanted to. He just lazy af lmfao. And his slasher/playmaker style he used to play with in OKC, which he replaced with the more 1on1 style of his houston years, would have eventually got him a ring

Self-realization is an impossible ask for the self-absorbed

The biggest Diva i have ever seen in the NBA. When i heard the shit he used to pull in Houston, like changing the team schedule for him to go to Vegas to gamble i couldnt believe it, like not even Jordan, coulda been "hey guys like lets get there a day before or leave a day earlier so i can go to Vegas real quick and gamble a few 100ks" and Jordan liked to GAMBLE 😂 insane this Harden.

I feel like all these stars could've been so much brighter if they hadn't been so spoiled.

Great video. I can hear and feel the emotion in this one. I definitely feel the same about James Harden. I haven’t enjoyed watching him since his OKC days.

Heck Yea Sean! Glad to watch a basketball historian and savant speak the (painful) truth about James Harden. \m/

Fantastic video, Sean! And I'm right there with you, hoping the Greek Freak can secure another chip. He deserves it, and is an outstanding role model for athletes everywhere.

I totally agree with you ! This guy is so much overrated currently. The clippers made a big mistake in my opinion. They were better off before they traded him.

As a Lakers fan, I am happy he and Westbrook are playing for the Slippers 😂

Sean, you are the heart and soul of basketball. It's okay to get upset sometimes. We are with you!

Heard this as a kid in high school and 20+ years later it's proven to be one of the best pieces of advice I ever got- If everywhere you go, you end up having problems with people, the only common denominator is YOU.

BTM is about the only sports guy I like to watch. Keep it up.

I agree 100%. I want to encourage you to call out LeBron for the bad example he sets for the next generation too if you’re willing to do it to harden. LeBron’s body language on the court is about as disgusting as a teammate can be.

I never thought it would happen. But I became a fan of New School NBA. Denver and The Joker won me over. Always a fantastic show. My favorite part of the season was watching Mr. Big Ego Lebron James and the Lakers getting swept. Who would have thought that the clumsy looking Nikola Jokić, with a 6 inch vertical, would become one of the MVP Greats. His passing is even better than White Chocolate JWills. His basketball IQ, and court vision is off the charts. He throws buckets like Steph Curry, and he's unguardable in the paint. He's too strong for highly physical players to mess with. On top of all that he's clutch. Peace from BC Canada

On the point. Couldn´t find better words for this debacle. Love from Germany!

As a Sixers fan ... never been happier to see someone go.

I can agree with you and understand your frustration. I am a fan of Kawhi, Russ, and PG so I do want the Clippers to win. But I don't think they needed to trade for James Harden. To his credit, Harden is a good player that is a good passer when he facilitates. The problem is that he wants to play iso ball all the time with no effort on defense. And the point I agree with most from you is that this is what is wrong with today's NBA. James Harden being on 4 teams in 22 months tells you what you need to know.

I never really liked the guy but the beard flop ended the sliver of respect I had for his game.

I really appreciate honesty in a topic that is not at all easy to communicate about without bringing potential misinterpretations, let alone problems. I respect this channel very much. I think the league HAS to do something about this kind of behavior. Some players think they are bigger than the sport they play, and that will never be.

The speech at 4:09 🔥...pure facts i actually read that comment somewhere today and im happy it was shared publicly!!

His effort on defense, his treatment of Daryl, how he treats teams and fanbases, him stating he has nothing to prove in the playoffs. At this point it should not be difficult for him to self reflect. Never seen a guy trying harder to ruin his own legacy.

Definitely resonated with me. Stuff I've been thinking about Harden for a long time. Great iso player, but a net negative in the team game. I honestly think the only reason teams want him is that he sells tickets, not because they expect to win with him.

"it's too much" 😂 funny 🤣 asl. Love the content

It's like the NBA has fallen off a steep cliff with players like James Harden

Where yall at ???? 😂 nah nah the apology must be as loud and public as the disrespect

It's a shame that Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden weren't able to win a championship during their time with the Thunder. Still, the Thunder were the best team back then.

Amen Sean, just amen

Sean, it's good that you called him out.

The Clippers don’t learn especially their fans. It’s crazy to see how most fans were in the comments saying Harden brings 22pts and 10 assists. They should trade Mann and all these other players for him. I would have never traded Nico and Roco for Harden.

As a kid growing up in Houston and admiring Hakeem the Dream, I was disgusted with the entire Harden era.

Spot on 👏

Great content, needed to be said THANK YOU!!

It used to be the players who didn't or couldn't play defense sat on the bench. They were role players who only got off the bench to score. That was Harden's role in Oklahoma when he got drafted. He was successful coming off the bench. If he had stuck with it, he would have a ring today along with Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

I’ve been saying for years now that Harden is everything wrong with todays game. Thanks Sean! Everything I’ve ever said to people about Harden has come true.

Agreed with your thoughts 100% Great video♥️♥️♥️♥️

Love the content my man. Sometimes you gotta be a playa hata!

Harden have great Statistic's as a player, but any team with harden will suffer from bad Chemistry and I truly do not understand why the clippers wanted to have this player in their lines, I am sure this will not succeed and soon they will be looking for another trade.

The comment from Stephen A. Smith about Paul George, James Harden and Russell Westbrook having more games combined with no championships on the same team might be true, but the duo of Karl Malone and Gary Payton on the 03-04 Lakers had played a total of 2461 by the start of that season. At least Malone and Payton were able to compete for a championship. I doubt this trio will.

Love the passion. Love the truth. Well said.

Lazy bums don't deserve anything. Great content, Sean 👍. You just earned yourself a new subscriber, From Guam, USA 🇺🇸

Harden had heart and intensity coming off the bench for the Thunder. Changed the tempo. Kept that energy for a bit in H-Town. Then figured out how to exploit some fouls, and revolved his game around that. Being absolutely lackadaisical when the ball isn't in his hand. Time caught up a few years back, age, lazy af, rule-changes, but people and (team owners) still believed James Harden was this scoring king. His high production was based on being allowed to travel and tangle himself up in defenses to draw fouls.

I've been watching your videos for years and have to say I really appreciate your last two videos saying what we all think about Gilbert Arenas and James Harden.

Absolutely. Each era had a distinct 'personality'. We have been in the era of "self" since the retirement of Dirk. There are some exceptions as in every era but the so-called "great" players today really aren't when compared to the GREAT players of the past. They have insane skills nowadays but greatness and skilled are not the same thing. LBJ is all about self, Giannis is more about self than most realize (take his brother as a prime example), Harden is the poster child twin of LBJ for "self", Kawai Leonard, etc.

You make the best video fam!

I personally never wish bad or ill for anyone but I do hope for people to eat the fruit of their labor. To reap what they sow! How he has conducted himself in these situations has definitely soured my opinion of his character.

Basketball is not a team sport anymore. It's about brand recognition and money. It is horrible😢

Not just Harden the NBA is full of clown players 🤡 I really miss the 80 and 90

Harden really epitomizes everything that is worse in today’s game.

I'm cracking up, because I say the same thing...dribble dribble dribble dribble 🤣😁

New to the channel. Good stuff!

BTM I thumbed up even before watching this one great job!

Preach it brother! He's a terrible example, but it's not good to wish ill on anyone. Maybe he'll get it some day, and we can celebrate his victory over life.

well said i wouldnt have said it better absolute truth

Thack you so much for this video and your thoughts as well

I agree 100% with this video. Great job sir.

I totally agree with everything you have said.

The fact Sam Presti saw this a decade ago confirms why he has always been considered a great front office guy! He evidently knew something we all didn't and when push came to shove, Harden was gonna quit on the team.

I remember him being so bad on D at OKC that Thabo started. He was an amazing 6th man.

Well said man, great content

I’m with you on that I hope he never wins

James Harden podcast is going to be wilder that Gilbert Arenas podcast...

Sean, great video. I am happy that you say the truth.

Well said. Thank you.

I love grooving to that intro track

Me neither but now he is in my team so now I do😂

Its a fact. Harden is a system, who wont play in any system. Great video, Sean.

I agree with you Sir Sean....

I love the Mr. Mom reference with the rant about James. “Broke up with you Wubby”.

Fully agree with you bro.

Lead by example! Well said Sean

Once again- i couldn't agree more

That jazzy tune is amazing. I would like to know the name. Good content also lol

This was everything

Amen brother!!!

Word.

I agree w you 100%

Don’t blame the playa, blame the game. The NBA has created this monster so they have to live with him.

Brutal! but you were telling the truth.

Well said! 👏

Hey Sean D man, I'm a fairly new subscriber who is also quite knowledgeable of the game and I noticed your thumbnail photo says "I got enough of this guy" sure you meant I've had enough of this guy lol.

Bro this the funniest title I've ever seen LMAOO only reason I clicked

the "system" is wrong. Wonder how long he is going to last in Clips? Great video btw, keep up the great job man.

Preach it.

Preach!! 💯💯💯

100% agree!

Truth has been spoken 🙌🏻
