Sorry homie... :dunno:

Yo I think we might have found something with Hartenstein. Him backing up Capela and giving us hustle points/rebounds is a big plus. I'm tired of Dantoni going small putting Tucker at center.

Having Gordon back is also going to hurt teams that double Harden.

We haven't been healthy this year... somebody always hurt... this was a good win against a good team and now we got 5 days to rest...

I was a little confused

KP isn't that good of a post up player, but a player like Embiid is.

I was wondering if Carlisle was referring to KP specifically and not post play overall.

I guess this is why someone like Durant lies down about his height.

10 out of 11. Rockets have won 10 out of 11 including 9 straight. Props.

Fuck Malone though. He's terrible at adjusting to adjustments(ain't that what coaching is about)
Now you know how I feel about Brett Brown. :smh:

Closest thing to Mikey, not Kobe, not Bron. But he wears Adidas and isnt married to a white woman so the stans wont say his name next to him.

Mikey's best scoring season '87 (24 years old):
37.1 PPG, 4.6 APG, 5.2 RPG, 48.2 FG%, 18.2 3PT % :smh:, 29.8 PER

James Harden this season (30 years old):
38.2 PPG, 7.5 APG, 5.8 RPG, 46.1 FG%, 38.3 3PT%, 32.2 PER

Mikey's lied his whole life, stans lie, but numbers dont.



Real Rockets fans would beat this drum. Jumpman buyers care more about a shoe brand than an NBA team or basketball so Harden's legacy is secondary.

You were a young kid and you asked MJ for his autograph, he looked you up and down then

He's scoring more efficient this year than last year and all his shooting percentages are up. All while being double teamed majority of the time.

Yea his FG% went up from earlier this season. This is the best scoring season since Wilt.

Why so butthurt?

So we can compare Hal Miner, Isiah Rider, and Vince Carter to MJ? But not the most prolific scorer of last decade? :confused:



Heres Kobe in his rookie season as a bench scrub averaging 8 points a game being compared to Mikey on a national broadcast. Did this piss you off? If not why does me comparing Harden in the prime of his career averaging almost 40 a night to him? I bet if Harden were light skinned you guys would like him better.

I bring data and stats, you "Jordan is the GOAT" stans bring insults and emotion. Then you get mad when youre stereotyped as the least knowledgeable fanbase and the most shallow. Why not just show what Im saying isn't factual? Can you?

I remember that Jordan season. I remember folks talking shit about Jordan just like folks talking about Harden. People don't appreciate what they are seeing until they can tell people years later that they seen it.

Mikey got swept by Bird that season for the 2nd time. You right, he had a stigma at the time like Harden as being selfish and not a winning player. But because no one else in the league could average 30 a night, he successfully used his scoring average to market himself as the best player to sell his shoe. 30 years later Picasso and TimRock still flailing their arms to defend the brand. :yes:

Harden is a much better long range shooter and passer. Imagine if he had a Pippen. You're right we wont be able to fully appreciate this era til its over.

Not once did I mention a “Brand”. I simply commented on how “Mikey” must’ve done you wrong in the past.

And yes Harden is a better 3-point shooter, but at the time that wasn’t the focus of the league.

Steph’s a great shooter and will have the most 3-pointers made when he retires. But the numbers are skewed, he takes many more 3’s than the great shooters of the past like Reggie Miller etc...

Again, I don’t know what “Mikey” did to you. But I apologize for him...

Shits gay. Never seen a dude look for attention like this.

Whats wrong with you guys. You cry about us talking about Bron. Now we ignore the Lakers dominance to talk about your boo and compare him to Harden, now yall mad? I thought yall wanted to always keep the "GOAT" in the spotlight at all times by using todays players? :confused:

If you’re in the Finals and you needed a bucket. Who would you pick, Harden or Jordan?

Oh wait...

yes Picasso let the gaslighting go. Mikey is a top 5 all time player. But just because one isnt a customer and sees greatness and better skills in other players doesnt mean he's violated anybody. It just means they're not in awe of him as much you. :lol:

You guys havent brought anything just tongue kissing each other and insults. :yawn:

Harden’a definitely doing great and up huge numbers!

The question has to be asked, why does no one care? Why isn’t it a bigger deal? Not just in here, but everywhere!

It’s like people don’t respect the numbers and I’d like to know why?

What a metric! :lol:

Id rather have Bob Horry than both, does that make him GOAT?

And dudes really wonder why the NBA is perceived as fallen off? Cuz yall let "shoe guys" bully BASKETBALL convos. Who here wants to talk basketball based on FACTS and STATS that can be quantified? Not feelings and emotions about shoe brands.

Again, you’re creating a narrative that you like to run with because in your mind it makes sense.

I simply said that “Mikey” did something to you and now you don’t like him. I said nothing about his brand or his greatness. You did.

Horry wasn’t a star player or asked to “Get Buckets”, but gotcha!

Horry has more clutch late game buckets and series winning buckets in the Finals than Mikey even as a bench guy. Thats a fact. Think about that, your GOAT had to pass the ball to Kerr and Paxson. Quick, tell me a walk off 3 pointer or late game 3 pointer Mikey hit in the playoffs. :lol:

Truth is, we havent seen Harden in the Finals as a Rocket. If he goes and wins, he'll be 1-0 since as you say "he wasnt a star player" on OKC. :rolleyes:
