Harden: I'm The Best All-Around Player In The NBA 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Aug 20, 2014 2:10 am

During a promotional event, James Harden declared himself the best all-around player in the NBA.


"I'm the best all-around basketball player in the NBA," said Harden.


While Harden has become one of the NBA's best scorers and was an All-NBA First Team selection in 2014, he has received criticism for his lack of commitment on defense.

Harden forgot that defense is included in being an all around player?

If he considers delusion, unfounded arrogance, and being a boring Baron Davis to be key aspects of playing in the NBA - and more important than defense, offense, being a good teammate, passing, and other aspects of the actual game - I'm inclined to agree with him.
That's hilarious and co

I really liked Harden's game until he became a primadonna and started inflating himself up...

James Harden need to stop smoking whatever he is smoking. Can we establish that Paul George is the better all-round player, then Kevin Durant, followed by Derrick Rose, and finally James Harden. Harden needs to get his head out his a**.

In the one-on-one battles with Durant and Paul George, Harden was giving them both serious work.

Like, work for real.

A statement that should only be made while holding a Finals MVP trophy over your head.... but at that point it doesn't need to be said. After a first round exit you should probably be walking quietly to the gym.
