Guess where the natural momentum of a shooter takes him? That’s why you can’t legislate it? See above. Some shooters kick out or flare when shooting also why is it that this has been done at times by others to draw fouls but only should be illegal because Harden is great at it? You’re basically trying to outlaw a lethal pump fake because if a player catches a defender with a pump fake and then jumps forward to grab the contact, by your opinion that’s illegal. Didnt even watch the videos. Save em for a Harden fan.

And to be honest saying that Harden’s game should be illegal undercuts his mastery of the game. He extrapolates maximum efficiency without breaking the rules. He puts opponents in foul trouble and the NBA has no defense for it because he’s still got a slick offensive game minus the flops. That’s ultra valuable. If anything his already stout shooting percentage would maybe get better if he didn’t have to concentrate on collecting fouls.

My God, Sir Skip Bayless, led me astray: Bro it’s 35 points ppg. Those flop points don’t count less. Really can’t change it though. Defenders can’t just play loose because he’s still a dead eye shooter.

Top two in steals and deflections. And flopping points still led to 35 ppg. Which is valuable no matter how you spin it.

I am <30 but still a team fan as well. Never bought a jersey for anybody. I have loved my Panthers since Dehlomme, Stephen Davis, Moose, Steve Smith, Proehl, Julius Peppers, Captain Munnerlyn, etc s Have liked Dallas Mavs since Marquis, Dirk, Josh Howard, Devin Harris, Dampeer, and the Jet were there. I do like Damian Lilliard and professed it way before @Tiger ever did, but you know, I only get so much satisfaction out of player achievement from someone out west.

Good for Giannis. Don’t know that he deserved it though. He flamed out in the playoffs just like Harden did. Harden averaged 35 ppg and 7 assists a game for the season. First ever to rack up 2800 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists in a singular season. Steph Curry even thinks Harden deserves it. But whatevs.

I think you’re right. Not sure why some willingly accept being the “holler back at you” recruit is acceptable when 99% would take him in a heart beat.

The NBA has banned the word “team owner” for being racially insensitive. Replacing it with the word “governor.” These are sad times.

Awesome article.

Did the Purdue white guy that could drain 3s go pro?

The 2 point guard offense?

With the real nice parents.

No, there is vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.

Props to a poster finally not ganging up on him for possibly defending the HC more than a LB coach that is never criticized to begin with. Oh the horror for Mikey to ever do that Shame!!!

A Lebron fan just called you Wi Fi. You triggered someone today. 👍

👌

I don’t know man. It was read by me to be a juvenile and nonsensical question. 1) what does it matter if he does back the HC more than the LB coach? 2) were you expecting a reaction or a confession out of the question? 3) I don’t think anybody actually ranks who they care or back more. I’ve never considered that with anybody. People can gain organic affinities that build some up more than others I suppose, but I’m rambling now. I guess what my long winded post is saying is

I remember in elementary school when I was like “no you’re friends with him, we cannot be friends! ” Isn't it amazing how my elementary self and your current self are fit for reality TV?! Perfect candidates.

They just mortgaged their future to have AD play with an old man. Previous thoughts rescinded: Clear number 1. Michael Jordan 2a Lebron 2B Kobe!!

Woop woop

Sorry bud. Too bad your city only has a thousand or so trophies hanging around to comfort you. FWIW the Blues weren’t supposed to celebrate . Doesn’t even sound right. Obviously rigged.
