People got duped when they believe the "James Harden cant carry and chokes". "James Harden travels" lines. Bewhahaha. Hey remember when kobe, Lebron, and Wade traveled so much they had to change the travel rule in 2009 to allow an extra step. The NBA released a statement going into detail on why they couldn't call Harden moves a travel according to the 2009 rule change. People tend to skip this part. Hey remember when Kobe hit people in the head and neck area when defended well on drives. Harden is a cleaner version of Kobe. So it's adorable to see Harden haters say "because of the refs". When they let kobe get away with that dirty style of play when he couldn't get past his defenders. Players like LeBron, Derek Fisher, Ginobili, Reggie Miller, Danny Ainge, and Vlade are examples of real flopping. Do you remember Lebron flopping in Miami. On ball, off ball, heck LeBron was flopping during timouts. Yet hey let's pretend none of this happened. When you're getting steals in the passing lane more than getting steals off your own defensive assignment. You're gambling with house money rather than your own money when you play defense like this. You put the team defense in a bind. This is not the same as other players who straight up defend their own man consistently. This is actually how kobe played defense and Phil Jackson called him out for it. Phil Jackson even said dont be fooled by kobe defensive team selections. He got on those teams out of popularity rather than his defense. They didn't even consider Wade the number one person to defend. They considered no jump shot Lebron to defend more. Yes Lebron AND WADE choked 2011 with a superteam in their prime. They so choked 2011 so bad people tend to forget spurs choked to an eight seed in the first round the same year. I like how people are against load manage in the regular season. Yet bash Harden for balling in the regular season during his prime. While skipping other teams who will load manage and skip games. Spurs started the modern load management. That's the spurs "playoff secret". That was the whole point of CP3 after 2017. Pop had more than Kawhi to work with. Funny how no spur fans will mention their entire roster that year. What has Kawhi done outside the loaded spurs or a Toronto team that was already 60 wins before he joined them. Kyrie played only three seasons with at least 70 regular season games. Yes you heard that right, only three. Funny to watch casual who obviously don't watch the game all year get amazed by Kyrie. When Harden was playing for the Nets. There was a point where Harden played more games than both KD and Kyrie combined. What about how Harden had to play without Joel embiid at one point against both Boston and Miami. Funny how people skip the part where Lamarcus Aldridge had the best playoff series in his entire career vs Dwight Howard. Dwight was playing the least games and minutes during this part of his career. Keep in mind Dwight Howard played in more games with Kobe than in any season he did with Harden. When Harden had CP3 Chris couldn't even play 60 games. But hey let's pretend none of this happened. I even remember an interview where kobe admitted he was playing less than the 80s and 90s players by using load management. Yes kobe actually admitted this during the 00s. Only to pretend otherwise years later. Look at giannis weak champ. Imagine Hakeem missing games in the playoff while his team advanced without him to the next round during a champ run. Yet that's exactly what happened to giannis in 2021. The 1971 Bucks played against an injured Lakers and Baltimore team. Yet you can still debate 1971 was more competitive than 2021. Which do you prefer? 1971 Bucks or 2021? Sorry Giannis fans. Giannis is basically no skill Shaq, but smaller. Just to put it into perspective. Hakeem dominated the era of the centers. Shaq "dominated" the era of the power forward. Huge difference. Spurs second leading scorer (Derek Anderson) was injured during game one against the mavs in 2001. This was their biggest threat in the west in 2001. Sure hope Shaq and Kobe can defeat 6' 0" Iverson. Kinda says alot to how weak that run really is. Plus didn't Iverson get bailed out against the bucks. Right. Shaq and Kobe (not kobe and shaq) got bailed out in 2000 and 2002. Can you even call this a legitimate threepeat let alone a back to back? Cute. What happened in 2004? What happened to kobe after he ran Shaq and Phil off? Right. Nothing. Kobe even missed the playoffs during his prime. In his prime. It took three players to replace Shaq in Odom, Gasol, and Andrew Bynum. While Phil Jackson returned. The Rockets took kobe to game 7 in 2009. Keep in mind Tmac missed the entire series while Yao missed half the series. Plus game 7 of 2010 is another example of kobe bricking and getting bailed out. Yet this is suppose to save kobe from the shaq talk? "Black mamba" was a self proclaimed nickname... it wasn't given to kobe. That's the same as lebron fans calling lebron the goat just because he said so. Hahaha!!! Hey remember when warriors kept fouling Rockets to keep them from breaking another three point record. They even had Draymond Green commit flagrant foul on the Rockets. This was around 2013. Houston Rockets are the only team in history to lead the league in three attempts and made. While also winning the champ in the same season. No other team have done this even once. Rockets did it twice. 2018 was going to be only the third time in NBA history. "but but but they missed all those 3's in game 7". Cute, the "greatest of all time" warriors couldn't even win back to back at the time. Hey remember when spur fans claimed Bruce Bowen wasn't dirty. He injured other teams top stars multiple times doing this. Kinda ironic Zaza from the warriors used the Bruce Bowen move on Kawhi and injured him in 2017. Warriors resorted to doing the same in 2018 game 7. Some of those missed threes were straight up fouls. Keep in mind even with the difference in the roster and last resort Bruce Bowen moves. Warriors won by only 9 points. Sorry. Warriors are far from "the greatest of all time". With all due respect. Warriors have never won a champ without injuries to their opponents top two stars. This includes 2015, 2017, and 2018. Glass ankle curry couldn't even win FMVP until half the league was injured. Cute. Before KD warriors had no back to back and a 2016 choke job. When they called themselves the greatest. Ha. Guess they didn't believe in curry like they claimed. Kinda funny to see curry fans bash KD for his overrated ring. When curry shares the same overrated ring. They're trying to cut the finger to save the hand. Hey remember when LeBron and KD blamed the old Rockets and old Celtics for joining superteams in their 20s. Drexler and Charles didn't even join Hakeem until after a decade in the league. The "youngest" Celtics 3 (Paul, Kevin, and Ray) was older than the Heat 3 "oldest" player. LeBron was 25 at the time be created a superteam. That's adorable. LeBron beat only one 50 win team up to 2010. That was a Detroit Piston who didn't even have Ben Wallace. Plus lebron 2007 team was a defensive minded team. They even held the spurs to 85 or less in three out of the four games. They gave LeBron a chance to win. What happened? They forced LeBron into more jump shots. What's next? His fake 2020 bubble champ that was clearly handed to him? Please enlighten. Lebron picked up Shaq and kobe selfishness and the Spurs load management tactics. Plus Team USA wasn't the best during the 2000s even with LeBron (including LeBron in 2006) and prime Tim. With all due respect. Plus I like how Tim fans pretend Tim never choked to an eight seed in the first round. Plus Tim choked at the free throw line. Yes Tim was hackable in close games at times. Tim gets way to much credit and had more help than some want to admit. All the load management since the 2000s. They're the ones who started the "regular season don't matter but I'll still take the fans money while our players sit out". The superteams getting exposed in their prime when "playoffs matter" during 2010s. Adorable. Plus one last thing... Robert Horry has more champ than LeBron, Kobe, Tim, or Curry. With all due respect.

He does choke. All that yapping won’t change that. Multiple games when he went brick after brick. Poor on defense. Played with multiple hall of famers. 0 rings. He did travel. Blatantly. Players couldn’t guard him because he would hook their arm into him or flop. Every nba player is guilty of that. He is the most guilty out of all of them. Great player but he isn’t a goat until he gets that ring. Jordan isn’t Jordan without those 6. you can make excuses all you want but these are the facts

@@Will4all85 Choke? Cute. Have you seen 2004 and 2011? Harden never even choked to an eighth seed in the first round like the spurs did. Yall don't even know what choking is anymore. Try again kid.

It was kobe and LeBron who traveled to the point they had to change the travel rule to allow an extra step in 2009. Harden wasn't in the league yet and actually goes by the 2009 rule. Funny how yall always leave this part out. You defend by keeping your feet in front of the player. Not your arms in the offensive player space. You keep your arms straight up or out with your wing span. Learn the game. Plus nothing about this? Of course not.

Hope you realize Robert Horry has more champs than Kobe, Lebron, or Curry. So what's your point? Ha! Keep in mind the Spurs started load management. Yes even kobe was using load management and admitted he was purposely playing less than the 80s and 90s players. Yes this was prime kobe who said this. Yet he pretended he never said this later on. They changed the travel rule because of them. Everything yall hate James Harden for, the 2000s or the superteams of 2010s actually did. Learn your basketball history grass hopper.
