Harden: “I have nothing to prove in Philly. I don’t feel any pressure.”

Lol is this a joke? Literally every one of the top 3 SGs had "mamba mentality" aka killer instinct and closing the deal.

Wade took a backseat to LeGOAT. And allowed Bron and Chris Bosh to help him form a superteam to stack the deck. That isn't Mamba mentality.

What Wade did in 2006 Finals was not an equivalent of "mamba mentality"? Why do you think Kobe respected Wade so much?

2006 was the most fraudulent ref gifted title in NBA history.

Ya cuz its unthinkable that maybe the greatest slasher of all time who was unstoppable getting to the rim would get fouled smh. I mean the dude was relentless in his attack.

What a clown. Sixers need to sign n trade him asap just like the Lakers with Westbrook and his I dont need a championship to prove anything comment.

Wade attacked relentlessly and got to the line. Even if you believe he shouldn’t have got all the fouls called, his mentality of attacking was correct.

And Wade was the man also for the Heat in the 2011 Finals, it was Lebron that shrunk under pressure. Then when Wade got injured and the team was rolling with Lebron, Wade was okay with taking a backseat when he got back and won 2 more titles with the Heat.

Wade convinced Lebron and Bosh to join his team, just like how Jordan convinced Rodman to join his team, and Kobe convinced Ron Artest to join his team. If the Heat had paid him, he would have spent his whole career with one team.

Wade was always in attack mode, and it led to him getting injured and shortening his career, but his mentality was always to attack. He had the mamba mentality.

He didn't care so no pressure

I thought Mamba Mentality was when you take all the shots at the end of the game, so that if you win you get all the glory and make sure no one else can get credit, even if you could have taken better shots and passes that led to a win.

[SerialChiller]

Well its a good thing he felt like he had nothing to prove, because he sure didnt prove anything. Anything good at least...

Its somewhere between scoring zero second half points (on 2FGA) as one of the all time greatest scorers and what you mentioned.

This. No need to take every shot, but 11 points in an elimination game as an ATG scorer is simply not enough. If this were team USA, I could understand him deferring to equally good or superior teammates, but dude was waiting for tyrese maxey to carry him.
