Harden made a career out of abusing the rules. Unless he’s shooting a 3 he’s flailing around looking for fouls. They don’t give him those calls in the playoffs that’s why he always chokes. He’s abusing the rules with team hopping too

Chris, talking louder doesn't make you right. I agree with Rob and I don't consider Harden a Hall of Fame candidate either.

Dennis Rodman has way more character than James Harden. Nice try Chris trying that one. Lol. Rodman is a champion and a much greater HoF level player than Harden is.
Lebron aint never requested trade. He was a free agent everytime. CP3, Westbrook, Durant, Harden, and Davis have either been traded or requested one. So all this player empowerment stuff they try to put in Lebron is wrong. This is the true definition of Player empowerment.
@@princedejour2686how did LeBron create 4 super teams? Was Cleveland a Superteam? How about the lakers when they won a championship? Stop creating false narratives to make your argument.

Wow! This is the EXACT comment I was just about to make! Lol! He also loves to hear himself talk, and nobody else! He thinks that whatever he says is just fact! No one can dispute
Rob is right. The answer cannot be “pout and eventually you’ll get traded” - no, make them suffer, go home, bench him etc etc. the players association can’t do anything if it’s obvious he’s not rendering services
The only thing the coach can do in this situation is put him in for 1 min and then sit him the minute i don't like your effort. If he claims injury, don't allow him in your facility and have someone run a smear campaign on the player
I think this could have a downhill snowball effect on the NBA. Lesser players who can't make a fishing net are going to start demanding that same treatment.
All due respect Chris but controversial isn't the first word I think of for Harden. Quitter, shrink, child, pout, flopping all come LONG before controversial.
Yes. However, let’s stop saying “player empowerment.” Players SHOULD have power; within reason. Owners make $0 without players. “Empowerment” ain’t the problem. It’s entitlement and lack of respect.
James Harden treats the NBA like a 9 to 5 not a professional profession getting paid millions . He plays when he wants , then quits when he wants , its sad honestly .
Adam Silver aka Master Splinter has ruined the once wonderful, high octane, suspense filled super competitive league that was the pre 2016 NBA, from the rule changes to the style of play (just jacking up 3's), allowing a ridiculous amount of super teams, load management and elimination of defense rendering it an unwatchable steaming pile of crap, thanks a lot Adam.
So it's okay for DeRozen, Blake Griffin, Marcus smart, and many other players to find out they were being traded on social media with us, that's how employers should act huh but players have to be respectful and organizations can be totally disrespectful, man please
Wish you guys kept that same energy for Kevin Durant. Joined gs a 73 win team like a bitch, then creates his own superteam in bk and everyone cried about it not being his fault, now he gets traded to suns exactly where he wants for nothing, thjs is kd’s legacy.
You can hardly blame James Harden for the way he has behaved over the past several seasons. The guy always gets what he wants so why would he change his ways now? Guaranteed contracts are part of the problem along with the "player empowerment" movement. It has become a complete joke and everyone knows it.

James wants all the benefits, indeed demands them. But don’t want the grind. hard training to get in shape, looking after your diet, getting plenty of rest. Then pushing to do your absolute best in playoff games.
I don't understand why the hypocrisy, teams are allowed to trade players, some players are traded 6 times in 3 years and it's much harder for players because they uproot everything to go to another city. But as soon as a player does it its a problem.
well the players are employees of the nba teams and sing contracts that clearly state that they have to play out there contracts and that they can be traded if the team wants tontrade them.
I would have paid him but not sent him where we wanted to prove a point. The point being you opted into your contract. He had the option of being a free agent. I don't blame Heden for opting into his contract. But as a owner I wouldn't cave into him
IT'S NOT A MOCKERY OF THE GAME. THE NBA ALLOWED HARDEN TO GET HIS WAY TIME AND TIME AGAIN. NBA BUILT THIS FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER SO NOW HE IS WHAT U CREATED 🙄
James Harden most likely has lost millions of dollars due to contracts and endorsement deals. He could have more of a career outside of basketball but will probably struggle with deals as well. I think business will hesitate based off of his actions of late. He’s not winning. 😢
The real answer is nobody offer to trade for him. It's that simple. These third party teams that enable players to "force" a trade can just say no when it's abused like Harden has done. But you have enabling franchises like the Clippers who won't stand for principles that benefit them in the long run as well.
The irony in all of this is that Harden was able to switch teams like he has partly due to Daryl Morey. He is also the reason why he has made so much money.
You can be disruptive, but there is a price. Harden lost a lot of money. Why would a player want to follow his example? Should have stayed in Brooklyn.
This is the exact negative side of LeBron James player empowerment trend. U have a player just up and deciding, i don't want to be here anymore at any point. This is ultimately a stain on his legacy to add the constant playoff blunders that always happened to him even when he was a 6th man in OKC in the finals. If i was a Hof voter he'd never get a vote by me
Rodman paid is appropriate fines and suspensions but gave it all on the court and has many rings. Don't even dare to compare him to that POS overrated Harden. No HOF or top 75. No way no how.
I disagree with Rob. What does it get the Sixers to be disciplinarians with Harden? Sixers ownership isn't Harden's parents. You gotta do what you gotta do to help the team. So you're gonna suspend Harden? Or you could just trade him and actually get assets in return. He's not playing for Philly either way.
Sooooo the owner does the right thing by sending him to his preferred team. But it was better off for Dame not to go to Mia, his preferred team, because of player impowerment. Bru you lost me. At least Rob kept the same energy. Don’t hear most ppl dragging this trade since he went to the ONLY he was willing to go to.
It's stupid to compare it to larger cultural trends because the larger trend is a function of the fact that most workers get paid like garbage. Like, barely enough to live off of. NBA players could retire after a few years, easily. I'm not saying they don't earn it. I'm saying comparing James Harden's whining to legitimate worker grievances in other fields is ill-informed.
What James Harden is doing is disgusting but this crap gets blown out of proportion as if a ton of players are doing this, it's really only two players who have asked to be traded from multiple teams and forced their way out Kyrie and Harden. Every other star or superstar has forced/asked for one trade at most.
What it proves, is that the NBA has completely lost the integrity of the game by pandering to the players over & over again. They are the most overpaid, softest athletes in all of professional sports. The NBA is a joke the players do whatever they want & all just wanna get paid then force their way out to go play w their buddies. They are pathetic asf.
Goat James won championships kid😂😂 stop it, players like kd, kawhi, and James harden is the reason 😂 like they ask for trades and don’t win a conference championship let alone a championship
Idk but I’m definitely side eyeing the Clippers, they had to power to say “No” and didn’t. They just as much to blame. Harden will always be a quitter, other teams need to stop enabling him as soon as he cry wolf everywhere he goes.
For the most part I agree with Rob for once. (Not that I don't agree with Chris since they are largely on the same side) where I diverge from Rob is that I don't think it will affect his HOF candidacy. But it's definitely messaging up his legacy and image
This is Adam silvers legacy. Flagrant fouls, load management, and players asking out

@@JakiereSykesso if a player choked in the playoffs he cant be a hall of famer. U gotta take guys like Patrick Ewing and Karl Malone out
I do agree with Rob on this one.....
4 teams in 22 months. These players are children
I hate player empowerment even more everyday
The real answer is nobody offer to trade for him. It's that simple. These third party teams that enable players to "force" a trade can just say no when it's abused like Harden has done. But you have enabling franchises like the Clippers who won't stand for principles that benefit them in the long run as well.
If LA give Harden a max I'd be completely shocked, so he wiggled out over money and still not gonna get it
The irony in all of this is that Harden was able to switch teams like he has partly due to Daryl Morey. He is also the reason why he has made so much money.
😂James Harden is not a winner. He only care about moneys.😂
5 years ago,analysts were comparing Harden’s numbers to Jordan’s ,now he’s a mockery,Harden got paid to play basketball 🏀 🇨🇦👌🏾👍🏾
Rob The Hypocrite is killin Harden now, but picking the Clippers to win, just watch. He’ll flip flop from Nuggets to Clippers soon
You can be disruptive, but there is a price. Harden lost a lot of money. Why would a player want to follow his example? Should have stayed in Brooklyn.
i hate this for the nba too. i'm 100 percent with rob on this one
I gotta use that back problem when i dont feel like working if you cant diagnose it
Brou does not like to let people talk
Harden is winning dont let these guys fool You .he gonna end his career in his hometown and he gets the best chance to win a championship.
Chris I disagree with you he is not a Hall of Fame. He's forced his way out of 4 teams his rep is sh!t No no no
This is the exact negative side of LeBron James player empowerment trend. U have a player just up and deciding, i don't want to be here anymore at any point. This is ultimately a stain on his legacy to add the constant playoff blunders that always happened to him even when he was a 6th man in OKC in the finals. If i was a Hof voter he'd never get a vote by me
Rodman paid is appropriate fines and suspensions but gave it all on the court and has many rings. Don't even dare to compare him to that POS overrated Harden. No HOF or top 75. No way no how.
I disagree with Rob. What does it get the Sixers to be disciplinarians with Harden? Sixers ownership isn't Harden's parents. You gotta do what you gotta do to help the team. So you're gonna suspend Harden? Or you could just trade him and actually get assets in return. He's not playing for Philly either way.
Rob needs to take a look at Harden's stats and honors if he thinks he's not going to the Hall of Fame.
Yeah NBA sucks now everyone shoots 3s soft fouls mid season tournament man that sucks
he won't be happy there either, unfortunately you bring yourself everywhere you go
Don’t hate the player hate the game 💯
Sooooo the owner does the right thing by sending him to his preferred team. But it was better off for Dame not to go to Mia, his preferred team, because of player impowerment. Bru you lost me. At least Rob kept the same energy. Don’t hear most ppl dragging this trade since he went to the ONLY he was willing to go to.
Facts
Chris gotta stop with this legacy BS. These players don't care about legacy.
This is a part of larger cultural trends. And it’s also part of the growing affluence of the game.
It's stupid to compare it to larger cultural trends because the larger trend is a function of the fact that most workers get paid like garbage. Like, barely enough to live off of.
NBA players could retire after a few years, easily. I'm not saying they don't earn it. I'm saying comparing James Harden's whining to legitimate worker grievances in other fields is ill-informed.
What James Harden is doing is disgusting but this crap gets blown out of proportion as if a ton of players are doing this, it's really only two players who have asked to be traded from multiple teams and forced their way out Kyrie and Harden. Every other star or superstar has forced/asked for one trade at most.
This just proves the nba is scripted for story lines imo
What it proves, is that the NBA has completely lost the integrity of the game by pandering to the players over & over again. They are the most overpaid, softest athletes in all of professional sports. The NBA is a joke the players do whatever they want & all just wanna get paid then force their way out to go play w their buddies. They are pathetic asf.
How
@@adriancandelario2902because they let him go to clippers
@@demlord5062 what does that mean? Who left him go to the Clippers? The NBA? Because they don’t own the teams…
@@adriancandelario2902 dont matter
In 6 months he'll want out of l.a.
Lebron started all of this with player empowerment but unfortunately what you see now are the results. This all started with one lebron James.
Goat James won championships kid😂😂 stop it, players like kd, kawhi, and James harden is the reason 😂 like they ask for trades and don’t win a conference championship let alone a championship
He never asked for a trade.
Idk but I’m definitely side eyeing the Clippers, they had to power to say “No” and didn’t. They just as much to blame. Harden will always be a quitter, other teams need to stop enabling him as soon as he cry wolf everywhere he goes.
Adam Silver should have booted harden out of the league.
He has set such a dogshit precedent now.
When dame wanted to go to Miami rob and chis energy was so different 😂😂😂 we can see y’all !!!!
Facts
For the most part I agree with Rob for once. (Not that I don't agree with Chris since they are largely on the same side) where I diverge from Rob is that I don't think it will affect his HOF candidacy. But it's definitely messaging up his legacy and image
