[@tarunguhanand2911]

Harden is always seen as selfish, this conversation proves otherwise. He's actively improving himself and the crew. I'm liking his impact.

[@alecvip7562]

Thats because he cant be selfish anymore. Hes lost the athleticism that he had when he was younger. It also probably helps that hes playing on the same team as russ.

[@tetsuya2ko]

Most assist over the past decade (2013-2023): 1. Westbrook 2. Paul 3. Harden Media spin-artists call 2 of these 3 guys selfish as rage-bait to get clicks. Don't be a sucka.

[@DVNVZ]

Right he’s never been selfish when he’s on the court

Won the MVP while having historically high USG% and 90% of his points unassisted. Be damn sure he is a system, and a good system that is.

[@Kawairze]

Prime harden without a doubt, but old man honey buns harden isn’t THE system. But he is one of the most integral cogs in the system

[@Modernwolf1]

Coaches around the league need to take that note!

[@JustTweakin]

Harden make every big man he play with better. Capela, Montrez, claxton, sharpe, embiid, zubac.

[@lakwansawyer5527]

This is true

[@clauseblitz4682]

Capela for sure. Dude went from borderline All-Star to just a decent Center.

[@nitoshadow]

F big man he helped chandler parsons get a bag I’m still mad Dallas signed him and he ain’t pan out

[@RenzaissanceTV]

Been saying this

[@gooduplead2248]

Fax he made embiid op 😂

[@crazylittlebigthings]

Harden will make Zu get more money soon. Like he did with Capela.

[@macvincemosquera9616]

for sure. until now Capela is very thankful for James. the media is just thrashed throwing nonsense narrative against james.

[@frost-lx9by]

Zubac so underrated it’s cool to see how he improved so much since he came in the league his english got way better as well

[@EuthanizeMePlz]

Agreed! Couldn’t help but compare it to his rookie year with LAL. Big fella living his best life

[@MBDavid_]

Social media always try to make Harden look like a bad teammate. THANK YOU for proving otherwise because he’s definitely in my top 5 favorite players ever and I know he’s not what people make him seem man is a LEGEND and GREAT teammate

Harden done nothing wrong and I place no blame on him for anything…dude knows who he is and what he wants and he wouldn’t settle for anything less…props to him for going through all this and still come out great…now everyone wants to act like the clippers don’t exist…y’all will be forced to open y’all mouths soon especially that damn Kendrick Perkins…every time he talk about James I want to throw a plate at the tv..

[@Tb-gz4qt]

Pause.

[@smartmoneymoves8201]

Keep it up Zu! The extra time with James is clearly paying off! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@GshockFPS]

People were saying the clippers had too many ballhogs but heres the thing. PG, Klaw, and Harden are always threats on the court so if all three are out somebody is getting worse coverage. So it's like yeah they might have some slow possesions but they are all good enough playmakers that they are going to force a lot of easy buckets. NBA defenders are gods at reading body language too so all harden needs to do is turn his head or move his ankle a certain way and he can get the other people open just because of how much a threat he is.

[@chad7809]

Movement don’t matter it’s all about putting ball in basket can dance around and miss all day look at us we definitely don’t have better ball movement then warriors but we are making shots

[@GshockFPS]

​@@chad7809 you clearly never played basketball at a high level because you have no clue what you are talking about

[@baggylean]

Zu doesn't get the credit he deserves. When he's out the line up it's obvious.

[@humanuponearth]

They got great bigs in reserve but yeah, Zu holds his weight within a line up of some of this generation’s best players.

[@williambreeze2659]

Love the breakdown!

[@1zxtv]

As an outside fan of the game, someone who never played at any level and became a fan in my early 20's, it ALWAYS blows my mind the sheer amount of technicality and thought process, check list type shit that goes on during a single possession. Positionally, matchup wise, what your PG or teammates tendencies arena certain scenarios and shit I don't even know I don't know about.

[@kingtut4561]

hey PG you're my fav player of all time and I want to say thank you ! I went to first ever basketball when yall Played OKC @crypto. And you had a monster game. zi was able to record your dagger 3 followed by the steal and reverse dunk!!! man i watch that highlight everyday

[@yourcaribbeanfriend]

I love PG a lot and hope he wins the ring this year . Dude is so cool , nuff respect bro from the Caribbean

[@therealmvpee]

Where u from the Bahamas?

[@jbrobele]

I still can’t believe the Lakers let this big fella go!

[@derekhayter4879]

Zubacs would never improve if he was on the Lakers. Lol in fact, every damn player starts playing like shit when they go to the Lakers then plays like MJ once they leave.

[@EuthanizeMePlz]

Agreed! I have this thought every time I watch a game and Zubac is playing.

[@mmobilegaming9256]

Not a lakers fan at all, and even I was in disbelief when that trade happened

[@BPS270]

Reminds me of when the lakers traded Marc Gasol for Pau Gasol never knew who Marc was until after he got traded or Shai for PG

PG crazy game, loved your answer about how far the Clippers can go in the postseason. Following your response, Shaq had an insightful take on having a championship mentality. Can standing on business instill team confidence or can it mess with the chemistry?

[@mc80466]

Harden is such a gifted scorer that it’s easy to judge him (for better or worse) based on solely that. But he is incredibly talented as a point guard. Glad to hear him getting some love for that

[@user-jc1uy5cz7t]

And PG like you said you adjusted not having the ball much on your hand to get your rhythm but your off ball movement became great i hope you know that 👍🏼

Harden been known for making big guys take a leap, I mean Dwight had a resurgence with harden, Capela had career years with harden, claxton, and now Zubacs, Zubacs has been fortunate to play with 2 guys that have been known to elevate big men play, Russ and Harden

[@tychapman6817]

Not a conventional big, but PJ Tucker too (the first time. with the Rockets.)

Harden got Zubac and Theiss and Plumlee looking super solid this year!!! The 3big white boys have benefited greatly from James , law hi and Leonard don’t have to stress about having the ball so much and to have to distribute which harden is much better at and you also have to play up on harden cuz he can still shoot.

[@elisamuelpedraza8228]

Why? So that they have even less shooters in the court?

[@718babyblue]

@@elisamuelpedraza8228 He’s right. If you’re already not going to have great shooting, at least dominate the boards and be a defensive force in the paint.

[@elisamuelpedraza8228]

@@718babyblue I disagree, the perimeter defense would be terrible. The Lakers wouldn't be so bad if they kept Schroeder instead of Dlo. The team isn't great but they definitely shouldn't be this bad. And Zubac is a good player, but keep in mind he's surrounded by shooters and an open court. In the Lakers his defense won't be as effective and his offense would be completely affected. He's good in the system he's in, that's it
