Harden averaged 36 PPG in 2019 and didn’t get MVP cause “his team was the 4th seed” but Jokic won MVP in 2022 with the Nuggets being the 6th seed.
The media constantly moves the goalposts to give the MVP to who THEY want rather than who actually deserves it.
“I wish I could just run, was 7 feet and run and just dunk. Like that takes no skill at all. I gotta actually learn how to play basketball and how to have skill. I’ll take that any day.”
That Harden and Giannis beef in 2020 was crazy lmao
James Harden says OKC broke up a championship team over $4,000,000
“My rookie year, we the eighth seed. We played the Lakers, who were the number one seed. Scared them for sure. They won the championship”
“My second year, we in the Western Conference Finals against Dallas. They won the championship”
“My third year, we in the Finals against the Heat. That was LeBron's first championship”
“That summer we go to the Olympics, we win the gold medal. My fourth year, traded a couple days before the first game”
Q: “How good do you think that team would've been if you all stayed together?”
Harden: “At least two championships. At the minimum”
Q: “Do you think you would've developed into the player you are?”
Harden: “Probably not. I was going to have to eventually start starting. I only did that for the sacrifice for the team, it made us better. My swag was getting there to where my fourth year, I'm not no sixth man. It was over $4 million”
@Brazo4444@BGNHoops Right easy .. Wade got a mvp ? 4 scoring tittles .. 2 assist titles .. 6th man I can go all day .. when u watch both with your eyes u know who better so basically harden better on paper stat wise an better eye test
Harden on AI’s impact on him:
“Everything that I’m going through right now is what you went through. Criticism, negative energy, negativity… Maybe when I’m retired maybe when I’m gone it’ll catch up to y’all... I wanted to say I appreciate you bro.”
I've took the time to fully observe all the negative Harden discourse and come to the conclusion that it ain't even about basketball anymore, it's deadass just people hunting for likes and views
Best 10 guards ever:
1. Jordan
2/3. Curry/Kobe (take your pick)
4. Magic
5. Harden
6. Wade (yes, give me Harden over Wade)
7. SGA
8. Luka
9. CP3
10. Westbrook
Next up: Thomas/Nash/Stockton/Kyrie/Oscar
@_OgStu James Harden 65% career winning percentage including playoffs, Wade 58% career win percentage w/ playoffs. One was in the right place at the right time more often, and the other was a more consistent winner throughout their career. Bet you didn’t know that huh?
Cavs path to the finals if the playoffs started today
1st round: Hawks
2nd round: Pistons
ECF: a tired Celtics or Knicks team
This really might be Harden’s year lol
Free throw attempts in Games 5 and 6 of the 2006 NBA Finals
D-Wade alone: 46
Entire Mavs team: 48
Former NBA ref Tim Donaghy on the 2006 finals: “The NBA started to manipulate the series to make sure it was extended.”
It makes you question how legitimate Wade’s 2006 ring really is.
