KB0938;1608933 wrote:Eh, hes a star. No different than any other star getting bailed out by foul calls. Like Lebron or Melo or even Wade gets more than his share of weak foul calls.
Hes a scorer though, hes not gonna be a point forward and get everyone involved, its not his game and doubt it ever will be. He could be a better defender with his length though yeah

KB0938;1608937 wrote:Eh he may get protected a bit, but I dont know about it being the most protected player in NBA history. James gets protected himself in his own way, he is called for the least amount of fouls I think I have everrr seen for a superstar. (I remember seeing stats about him setting records for minutes played and least amount of fouls called lol).


I mean yeah I agree he has to do more, but he does average 6 assists a game this year for a SF who is more times than not a scorer, thats really not too bad in terms of getting teammates involved IMO. But he def needs to step up his defense

KB0938;1608940 wrote:His assists and FG% have pretty much gone up every year since hes joined the league. So even if his shots are going up in terms of attempts per game, its not like hes AI

KB0938;1608942 wrote:Yeah, but hes still shooting 50% from the field 40% from 3 and damn near 90% from the line. Those are on par with some of the best shooters in NBA history. Sure not all his shots are the greatest, but as long as hes still shooting a damn good % overall, I think its a non issue. Really all I think he needs to work on is his defense and maybe strength overall

robj55;1608934 wrote:A lot of people have said he's the most protected superstar in the game, even more so than Jordan was. Not sure if I agree or not but I know Lebron gets to the lane a lot more than Durant does and doesn't get half those calls KD does. Not saying he really has to be a point forward but he has to do more than score, was saying that a few years ago and it's still true really. He is a scorer but if he wants to win a ring he needs to become a better than below average defender and has to make impact plays in ways other than scoring. Just my opinion though.

Commander of Awesome;1608948 wrote:Eh I think Dwade and Blake Griffin are bitch boy players who QQ ever every single call (like Doc Rivers) and that effects their foul calls. I think Harden is just barrels into ppl and have a fake superstar mentaility (like Vince Carter or Tmac) and gets the benefits of the calls. I can't stand to watch Harden player, the guy is a negative player IMO when you combine his pathetic defense tot he equation (I know ppl joke about top 26, but the guy is a joke on defense and wouldn't be in my top 20 for NBA players). Harden would be on my top 20 offensive player and worst defender top 20.
