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.

ahahaha

Let you're game do the talking Jimmy. You're also known as the best tipper at the strip clubs too, why don't you add that to you're public resume

very good defender

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

LOL!

This guy has a ridiculous ego.

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.

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

Laughable. Jordan would average 45 on this bum.

I think he forgot that defense even exists.

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**.

Theres this other guy youre forgetting named lebron james

Also id list amfew more ppl before harden if were talkng all around, a lot more

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

Like, work for real.

best at flopping

Wishful thinking. Question is will he TRY to be a better all around player next season?

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.
