[@jeffreyolson2139]

I've never been a James Harden fan (although I admire the man's tremendous skills) for 2 main reasons, he not only never played defense, he was too bored & unconcerned to even look like he might be trying to play defense. The other reason is for all the flopping. He is a strong dude, but a slight breeze would send him flying! As for paying an aging player, who is slipping, big money, that's just crazy. Especially for someone who doesn't seem to be motivated to maintain his conditioning. Fat James of a couple of years ago was embarrassing & he needs to be lighter even now!

[@juanchohitdalotto]

You’re right. I’m a Harden guy but it’s frustrating to see him this way, especially on the defensive side. After watching him play good defence throughout the whole bubble I thought he was actually starting to lock in mentally for the remainder of his aging career. Last season gave me hope but he just wasted this end of the season. Hope he picks it up again next year though

[@misterceo2168]

I finally understand Pat Bevs whole deal. He trashed the media hype players and rides with the players the media tear down

[@simonevans5562]

Harden tore himself down. The media had nothing to do with it. Staying out partying, getting fat, not even trying on defense, and taking 2 shots lol.

[@nbarealtalker]

When it comes to the playoffs, Harden is a career MVP. Most Volatile Player.

It’s not just about offensive stats it’s about defensive stats it’s about clutchness it’s about stepping up in the big games and finishing strong. It’s about carrying your guys when the team is struggling. You want super max you need to be a superstar. He needs to be efficient and he needs to be a leader keep morale up and leading his squad

[@smoketownlive3732]

Really Joker plays no defense not clutch but he's the highest paid and the MVP.

[@rogerthat1735]

Based on Bev’s logic, Carmelo Anthony should be expecting a max deal this off-season. Just because on what he’s done years prior!
