He's not a frachise player to be built around to be honest. Dwight used to be franchise-calibre but both are one way players

Dwight could still be a franchise player if he didn't insist on playing the game his way, and not in a way to maximize team success.

Holy ****, LeBron James died?!

Seriously though, there is nothing this clown Harden can do that LeBron can't do just as well or even better. He'll, he tries but can't even flop as well as LBJ.

Lebron James and Durant both say WTF are you on Harden? I would take a healthy Paul George and Anthony Davis over Harden hell give me Westbrook over Harden

This was taken out of context...and all you guys are jumping to conclusions...so typical.

What he meant to say was, he is the best all around player in the NBA by far.

I think he is right. He is the GOAT. MJ is a distant second.

lol this clown is seriously delusional. :lol:

I'd take numerous players over Harden. I would take TD at 38 years of age over JH!

He's not the best, but he's definitely an i*iot. Really terrible.

I'm glad I'm not a Rockets fan. I couldn't possibly support a team built around Dwight Howard and James Harden.

Com on the Harden hate is really getting annoying. So as soon as Lebron leaves Miami all of a sudden the Rockets are the new team to hate and Harden is the devil? Jeez.

He just gave a long interview talking about how he needs to improve his game to reach Lebron, KD and Kobe level, and now you guys wants to spread word that he thinks he is the best in the league? Come on guys.

Ok we get it. He hates his teammate, he was tough with your beloved Lin and Parson, he will not win anything without them blablabla, can we move on?

Scoop: Do you come to practice every day with the mentality that, "OK, I need to show them that I'm the best player in here because I'm not going to really get a chance until maybe the Olympics or next year to prove to these guys that I am better than everyone else around me?"

Harden: No, it's more team. I'm not really focused on me individually. They don't really care about individual talents on this team. They just want to make sure everyone has the same mindset. The one goal to win the world championship. I think that's what's on everyone's minds.

Scoop: Best time of your life right now?

Harden: Yeah. Definitely. I'm enjoying this. Still trying to catch guys like LeBron, KD and Kobe. You know, just trying to catch those guys. That's something I get to look forward to every single day to motivate me.

Scoop: That's your motivation? Still those guys? Because you know you can still serve them on the court every now and then.

Harden: Listen [long pause], until I get rings I can't say anything.


So in this thread he was criticized for not thinking about the team, for thinking he is better than Lebron, for talking before getting rings etc. while he is clearly stating the opposite and is just saying that he wants to have the mindset and motivation of wanting to be the best in order to win.

I know it won't stop the hatefest but just wanted to point it out for those too lazy to read the interview and just going on by the comments. Carry on.

Harden's a better overall player, but all things concerned I'm very happy we have DeRozan instead.

He's probably as bad on defense as he is good on offense. You can't call him a superstar.

And while DeRozan's offense is slightly worse, his defense seems to be light years ahead :lol: And that's saying a lot.

Derozan's offence is more than "slightly worse". Harden is one of the most efficient SGs in the league while Derozan is one of the least.

Why is there a tendency to attack D. Howard anytime someone in Houston does something stupid? Is he responsible for everyone else's actions?

He is starting to remind me alot of Gilbert Arena, lotsa talk, lotsa shots, no D, inflated self value.

THis season is a potentially a very very bad one for the Rockets. With Harden writing cheques his game can't cash, he is prime to eat crow all season long.
