Winning cures everything and Harden has never won. His value is quickly becoming a vet minimum value.

James harden doesn’t win. He came to Houston in 2012. They never were less than 4th seed every year in Houston except for 2015😐. He has a higher win percentage than KD, bron, Kobe, and Dwade. Post season he will fall short but saying he doesn’t win is just not true😭

I completely agree with you, he’s not that dude. But here’s the thing, he never was. And fans have to take some of the blame for propping him up to be that. There was a time when many fans and analysts alike were saying that this man was possibly the greatest offensive talent EVER! Like are you kidding me. People got enamored watching him dribble the ball between his legs for 15 seconds, step back (many times traveling) and hitting shots and then doing his cooking celebration. But he got rewarded for drawing minimal contact with countless free throws to inflate his scoring average. He’s not terrible but he’s not a winner because he doesn’t care to be. If he wins he’s cool with that and if he loses that’s ok too. As long as he secures a bag and he can go to the strip club he’s 👌🏾. Every team should consider this before bringing him aboard.

Kobe Bryant already told the world about James Harden
I remember everyone was saying “Harden’s such a teamplayer for taking less money!” I kept saying that wasn’t a paycut, that was him getting OVERPAID for what his value is. Absolute disgrace of a superstar caliber player
James Harden is the Bruno Fernandes of basketball
We’re sitting here talking about Daryl Morey’s possible broken promises to Harden. Do we know what Harden might have promised Morey? I don’t exactly expect James to be the type of person to follow up on his promises if they include putting in effort in the playoffs
remember when they tried to hype that guy as the most offensively gifted player EVER ?!!
THE SAME WAY HARDEN TOLD THEM HED DO EVERYTHING TO BRING THEM SUCCESS AND A CHAMPIONSHIP!!! YOU OWE Daryl!!
I always felt like some players exemplify "all that glitter ain't gold" James Harden, Carmelo Anthony and a few others come to mind.
Been saying this for years. I’m curious how his career will playing out in the next five years.
Stephen A. Smith on James Harden: "He has 0 championships to show for ALL of his demands.." neither does Chris Paul nor Paul George. What, y 'all forgot PG13 demanded to be traded to LA Clippers at the behest of Steve Balmer ?
@garyspence2128
7 ай бұрын
PG asked to be traded only once, when he and Kawhi decided to join forces. If Harden this will be the fourth time he's demanded a trade, and he's sulked and quit on three different teams. The one time he didn't ask to be dealt was when OKC sent him to the Rockets, because they didn't want to give him a max deal. The Rockets GM who traded to get Harden was Daryl Morey, who gave him a max deal. Morey has really taken care of James, and now Harden hates him. He's acting like a diva and a punk, and I doubt that he'll ever earn that ring. But it's ok. The girls at the club still love him, and his money...
Reminds me of the timeless classic rant of one, mike singletary about vernon davis. Cant live with em, cant coach with him, cant do it. I want winners. No coach or organization has done that with harden and they need to. Making money is easy. Having a legacy is hard. He needs to know what side of the fence he is on and stay there.
single handedly cost okc a championship by chocking the whole final. Dude went MIA on the biggest stage playing alongside kd and russ.

The only time prime Harden actually had a championship team was the 2 years with CP3...and he had to go through Warriors superteam..with a 33 year old injury prone CP3 and a bunch of role players and Fertitta refusing to pay luxury tax to bring more pieces...against a 4 All star team with 2 top 5 players and over 100 million on luxury tax...the rest are casual media talk for likes and comments...the funny thing is the same people who arw clowning Harden are the ones that put Curry as a top 10 players cause he won 4 rings with a cheat team for 3 years and 2 all star teammates basically all his prime and ownership doing everything to be competitive not sparing any expenses and paying 70 mil plus per year on luxury tax...put him in Houston and he would be ringless too..same as Portland...its 2023 and people still judging players individually by achievements in a team freaking sport...ABSURD

That game 7 is unfair imo. You wouldn't even be in a game 7 if James didn't lose his mind and carry the team when Joel was out. It's Joel's team. James took a backseat and transitioned into more of a play maker role there. Joel should be the one getting that heat...it is not like it is the first time he has had issues in the playoffs either. There is a lot you can criticize James for I just don't think this one is fair.
Blaming harden for phillys lost when Joel EMBID was the mvp and played worse is superior bias showing
After the Nets its a circus at this point
Wade every F** day

James Harden diffinatly got Melo out of Houston Low key... I totally believe that
They should have won back in Houston against golden state but failed. Prime Harden disappeared after those seasons.
Maybe Morey promised him a contract IF he killed it in the playoffs. And IF he was in shape the entire year including the playoffs. Clearly that was not the case. He had two maybe three great playoff games out of 11 playoff games. And at least six of those games he was A G League level player. Morey owes him NOTHING. Harden should be thankful that he is even getting what he's getting. He has not earned it in Philly.
When people belittle and try to clown LeBron James for " ONLY" winning 4 championships in 20 years remember that there are players like James harden who haven't won anything.
