Suns fans: "Devin Booker should be an All-Star"
Everyone else: "Nope, it'a all about the wins"

Suns fans: "Devin Booker should be the bubble MVP"
Everyone else: "Nope, now it's all about the individual stats"

Lillard is definitely the MVP of the bubble. His shoulders must be tired from carrying the Blazers so hard. Booker is playing well, but some of the things Lillard has done is just unreal.

Dame is going to win it and rightfully so, but man his game reminds me a lot of hardens, a lot of dribbling and Jacks up a ton of shots.

I don't think their games are that similar. Dame is more of a shooter, and a much better shooter and much more clutch. Harden likes to try those stepbacks and launches a lot of 3s, but I don't think of him as a shooter. He is more of a driver and tries to bait people into fouls, flop, etc. Not to say Dame and a lot of people, Booker, etc, flop too on occasion, but not like Harden. He is very good at drawing fouls. I just wish that type of play wasn't rewarded.

I absolutely abhor Harden's game. He thinks of himself as a pioneer but really he's just finding grey areas in the rule books and exploiting them. It's making the game more difficult to watch and it's something I don't want the future generation of basketball players to admire and mimic. It's incredibly boring. Basketball is for entertainment purposes and watching Harden is similar to watching paint dry.

Definition of a pioneer.
