Plus he's got really good dribbling skills and can shake you out of your shoes while throwing it dooooown. What's not to like?

He's a flopper who's never won anything.

The flopping and whining can be annoying, but unfortunately the league allowed it to get to this point and it's now a regular occurrence.

You love to watch him flop, and shoot 10 FT's a game?

I'm not like the others, I think Harden is a top 10ish player, just HATE to watch him play.

And the never winning anything?

Does anyone here seriously think James Harden will ever win an MVP or a championship? No fucking chance.

I know it keeps you up at night, but I don't really give a shit about that. I just like his game and enjoy watching.

I'm not going to hold it against him that people continuously foul him when he had the ball. Drawing fouls to me is a skill, none better than harden

Harden gets the superstar treatment with foul calls. If delly tried his shit he'd foul out in 10 min. Harden shoots like shit, soon as teams realize that and let him chuck garbage the sooner we can stop this nonsense him as mvp talk.

Why would Delly try that? He has the second best three point shooting percentage on the team (yes better than James Jones, Lebron, and Mozgov) and you've been wrong about him all season dummy

Harden is closer to winning a championship/MVP than Davis and Gasol. Do they not deserve to be on the first team, either? Or does your dumbass argument not apply there? I'm surprised you didn't bitch about Duncan being on the third team since he's not marketable.

I agree with this. Borderline top 10, very effective player, but plays a bitch style that is awful to watch.

Harden is awful to watch. Some people might have a problem with that and they allow their aesthetic displeasure to cloud their judgment of him.

I don't think there's a problem with saying he's awful to watch and simultaneously acknowledging how talented he is.

I will readily admit hat I enjoyed watching Harden a lot more when his game revolved around more than just drawing FT's.

But...Harden is taking advantage of the current rules. If he had to draw less fouls and rely more on scoring I don't doubt he'd be able to, which is why I continue to defend him.

Gasol has an NBA championship and there isn't anyone on the planet that doesn't think Davis won't win either an MVP or championship before his time is done. Duncan? Has championship. Harden? Fucking never.

Which championship did 1st team All-NBA Marc Gasol win? I must have missed that.

I'm sure he won a championship in your fantasy NBA world though; the one where you pay absolutely no attention to the real NBA.

I was obviously talking about Pau Gasol. When are you going to grow up and realize that Harden is an overrated POS player? You've been on this guys nuts since he was an overrated prospect coming out of HS. We get it, you think he's cool because he has a beard. Enjoy watching your favorite player rot in Houston and never win anything!

Why were you talking about Pau when the discussion was about 1st team All-NBA players like Harden, Marc​ Gasol, and Anthony Davis?

Junk ball old man game? Lol what does that even mean? Harden is a douche and the only reason you should "like his game" is if you're a Houston fan.

He just looks awkward as hell at times and the ball just goes in. Thanks for the pointer on what I should like though.

The Rockets suck so bad on D, how they got this far I have no idea. Terrible transition and half court D.

Josh smith just grabbed his 1st rebound and then immediately threw a terrible pass for a to. He's been awful tonight
