All these haters in Harden Playoffs like he wasnt against the GSW dynasty in the West and teammates injuries in the East.
cat almost won it too in 2019, cp3 n him a great duo as well, james harden could always co exist with other superstars under the RIGHT circumstances
This!!! But label him a choker ?? How ??? It took injuries to beat that team
BTW, never missed PO, 4th PO scorer , avg 22/6/8/1...and was the most doubled player every series.
Opponents team needed 7 games to eliminate his team, with all injuries
This just proves how dumb the championship argument is, u can’t tell me that klay Thompson or Caldwell pope is a bette player cause they won championships?
Nice excuse, what about when he wet the bed against the spurs
As a Rocket fan, I'm happy for him. I hope they win the whole thing. That's the second best Rocket ever. Whoever doesn't root for him isn't really a Rockets fan.
Whose the best? Tmac?
@@DragonballG.hakeem gang😹
3rd is T-Mac and Hakeem is 1st@@DragonballG.
@@vcnblxbl4936 I forgot Hakeem was a rocket. The shame…..
Where yao at
He got clowned on for calling himself one of the most unselfish players ever. But Beardman's been sacrificing his talents his whole career with very little pouting.
In OKC, Scott Brooks played him as 6th man for 3 years in, despite being one of the most talented players on the team.
In Houston, Tim Fertitta refused to go over the luxury tax and surround him with better players, despite being one game away from an NBA finals in 2018. (The next year he averaged 36ppg 7rpg 8apg)
In Brooklyn, Kyrie Irving played less games then Harden, despite Harden being injured.
In Philadelphia, he took a pay cut so the Doc Rivers could sign more depth, despite being owed $15million more.
Generational talent that's been adapting and being unselfish since he entered the league
when the 2019 rockets are down 0-2 and he averages 40/10/5 the next 2 games to tie it up, it doesn't count. when he puts up 35/8/5 and has more points/rebounds/assists/steals than steph in game 6, he sucked and steph was legendary to win without KD.
in the bubble he put up 30 ppg on 67 TS% against an elite lakers defense that was just doubling him near halfcourt and leaving russ wide open. but he sucked.
he also tends to have his best games end in near losses, which unless he has a time machine, i'm not sure what he can do about. putting up 39/10/9 on 62% shooting (field goal, not TS%) against the #1 defense 2015 warriors and being +12 in 41 minutes, only for the rockets to be -13 in his 7 minutes off so he loses by 1 gets forgotten. still a great game.
he goes up 3-2 on the most talented team ever but cp3 gets injured so no credit for harden. he's had some disappointing playoff moments, but people way overplay it.
I mean Harden does have 9 playoff games where he scored 40+ points, including 3 in the 2018 playoff run alone.
Curry has 7 such games in his career.
Butler has 6.
Melo had 4.
Harden certainly deserves plenty of criticism. But this idea that he’s never gone off in the playoffs is ridiculous. He generally had just kind of ok supporting casts and regularly made some decent playoff runs.
His Rockets were also the only team to really give a healthy KD Warriors any real trouble. Cavs got swept and lost in 5.
I think if you take "Most Valuable Player" literally, Harden should have won. Take Steph Curry off of that Warriors team, and that's still a good team. Take James Harden off of that Rockets team (keep in mind that Dwight was also missing for most of the season), and that team is very close to the very bottom of the West.
Steph Curry had a phenomenal season, but I'm tired of team performance being taken into account so heavily in individual accolades.
Harden 2014-15. With out Harden the Rockets probably dont make the playoffs. With out Curry the Warriors still make the playoffs, just not as the first seed. I feel like considering that Dwight was injured most of the season and Harden fucking went ham to keep his team a float, that the MVP should have gone to him. The only knock on Harden was his percentages, but Harden still averaged 27.4 points, 7 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals for the season. Dem be MVP numbuhs.
James Harden is an underrated defender and I will argue that to the grave
The only reason mainstream media views harden as a bad defensive player is because of lowlight tapes where harden doesn’t sprint across the court to guard a speedy fast break but when Lebron sags on defense it’s considered conserving energy.
Efficiency wise if a player is a huge plus on offense it makes sense to have them expend the majority of their energy getting points instead of making high energy cost/low return defensive plays. Especially when that player is by far the most effective offensive player on the team.
Lebrons famous 48 minute playoff games utilize this strategy and Harden is the highest usage player in league history so it’s less about defensive skill as opposed to a strategic decision.
This is why Harden prefers to guard bigs in the post where his style is more about stealing low rather than jumping to block. And when looking at his defensive efficiency in the post it’s up there with the best in the league.
Defense isn’t necessarily about the flashy blocks of a Giannis or the scrappy pestering of a Pat Beverly. It’s about not letting the other team score the ball and Harden does a good not great job at that. I rest my case.
At their peaks, Harden IS a better offensive player than Jordan (and Kobe) by every imaginable metric.
Harden is a better offensive player at his peak than Jordan. Some of this is going to sound repetitive but follow along.
Kobe averaged 5 rebounds and 4 assists in his 35.1ppg season. He did that on 27 FGAs, and a 56% TS
Jordan averaged 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists in his 37ppg season. He did that on 28 FGAs, and a 56% TS.
Harden averaged 7 rebounds and 8 assists in his 36.1ppg season. He's doing that on 24 FGAs and a 61% TS.
Yeah well Harden shoots too many free throws.
Harden: 11 FTA (88%)
Jordan: 11.9 FTA (85.7%)
Kobe: 10.2 FTA (85%)
Yeah well Harden shoots too many threes that's why his TS is high.
Harden: 54.1 eFG%, 52.9% from 2, 36.8% from 3
Kobe: 49.1 eFG%, 48.2% from 2, 34.7% from 3
MJ: 48.4 eFG%, 49.1% from 2, 18.2% from 3 (only on 0.8 attempts though)
Yeah well the game was much slower back then.
Per 100 Possessions:
Harden: 48.2 PPG (highest of all time)
MJ: 46.4 PPG
Kobe: 45.6 PPG
Yeah well compared to their league, Jordan stood out more.
Then let's compare to the league average.
Harden: 54.1 eFG% and 61.7 TS%, League Average: 52.4 eFG% and 55.7 TS%
Kobe: 49.1 eFG% and 55.9 TS%, League Average: 49 eFG% and 53.5 TS%
MJ: 48.4 eFG% and 56.2 TS%, League Average: 48.8 eFG% and 53.8 TS%
This isn't even factoring in seasons Harden has averaged 10+ assists, and he's done that many times.
Harden is a very capable defender when he tries. For majority of the game Harden plays defense but allows blowbys to avoid risking picking up fouls. Due to his heavy minutes, especially when he was in Houston, harden lacked in defense to avoid getting fouls, which is why he is known as a bad defender. However, in late game situations, especially in the playoffs, he locks in and is one of the better perimeter defensive players in the league. As for his post defense, he has been number one in the league statistically since 2019, and has even been second in the league in perimeter isolation points allowed per possession in 2020. In addition to all of that, he is an extremely smart player defensively. He knows when to help, where other players need to stand and is known for his defensive communication. His Houston rockets had the number one defense in the playoffs and in the bubble of 2020. Statistically James has been top 5 in steals for many seasons, number one in deflections for a few years, and has the most blocks by any guard since joining Houston. He has crucial defensive saves in important games including against Giannis, Porzingis, in game 7 of okc thunder, and even against embiid in the 2020 rockets 76ers matchup, where embiid got in a little skirmish with him after harden stopped him on back to back possessions. He may not play it the whole game, but when he tries harden is a top defender in almost every aspect, and a beneficial one to have on the court due to his intelligence.
And people talking bout his defense are idiots, hes locked up and then shit on Kawhi/PG/Beverly in a 1v3 lmaoooo he has the most points on every team too plus like 3 years of 10+ assists and the others are 8-9 assists on top of 30-36.6 points. He's the only one who even challenged the KD Era warriors and lost because of blatant ref fixing and Ariza going 0-12 on wide open threes generated by Harden along with his second best player CP3 going down and Capela getting sonned by a rookie Looney. Harden was literally dunking on draymond all day and dray got pissed and shoved him like 30 seconds into a game because he got scored on twice fast. That's not even mentioning all that happened while facing the KD warriors who had 5 star players, 2 of which were the number one and number two best shooters in the history of the league, Dpoy draymond, a top 2-3 scorer in Durant, Iggy dpoy. Then waiving off 12 of Hardens points but not making the same call if he missed the 3...blatant lmao
Harden has been a top 3 hardest working player for the past 10 years. Just because he likes strip clubs and partying doesn't mean he disregards practice and conditioning. This sub is just going with assuming narratives instead of taking 5 minutes to find out that Harden's workouts have been Kobe-levels insane for many seasons, doing HIT lifting after having played 40 minutes in an NBA game with historic usage and scoring rate for entire seasons because the durability demanded from Harden forced him to be insanely well conditioned.
There are countless stories as well as statements by his staff and teammates about it, it's just easier to shit on a player for partying instead. Literally everybody who's ever played with Harden attests to his one-of-a-kind work ethic. The reason Harden has been struggling are injuries and playing through them as well as the miles on his body but it's 10000% not because he's lazy. He ONCE forced Houstons hand for 3 weeks because they wouldn't trade him despite his demands many months before the situation escalated. Other than that he's been more than textbook when it comes to work ethic, you don't become such a legendary offensive Superstar without working your ass off every day for many years. And yes Harden can come back, he's one of the most skilled players ever and he works out like a madman
Wow! What a comment! You got me convinced! Go James!!
Hy😎
No way u said harden is a better offensive player than mj or Kobe
I agree with all this we gotta be friends or something 😭 people will call him a choker and all of the but nobody has faced more competition before the finals. In that rockets stint besides Damian Lillard.. he had to either face LeBron, Steph, kd, Kawhi or lebron in every single playoff run. The one time the warriors sucked and didn't make the playoffs LeBron decided to come to the West and had AD. I was so mad that rockets series and I know that small ball could've worked if Russ was coming off a sickness
@@jasonmoukala8909just pure offense he is a lil more skilled he pass so good
haters were ripping this man apart a couple months ago, now it’s like everyone forgot about him
Harden pound for pound one of the strongest players of all time.
Harden is one of the best NBA players of all time as far as skills and IQ. His skill set is unmatched even today. He's also the best playmaker in the league. And can also get you 40 if he's in his bag
Great analysis. As a Clipper fan, I was very concerned about Harden coming to LA, but he's shut me up. Hope these 4 LA guys bring the chip home this year. They deserve it.
thank you for the support!! & yeah i was worried about the harden trade, but as we all can see, it worked perfectly
Love your content man! you have a great voice for this as well dude
Nice video them clips is stacked
He's my favorite player and I went to my first nba game to watch him in Memphis a week ago. Going back in February. You're going to blow up with this. Keep it up
As a James harden fan since day 1, he crushed me when he didn’t go all the way with EMBID & MAXEY, he told Molly we was winning the chip & we didn’t 💔 I felt & still feel he will regret that decision, but time will tell, I hope he does win at home, but my hope for him has dwindled…….i can’t cap, I’m not convinced 🤷🏾♂️ He may have missed his window 💔 (side note: I loved him in Houston also, but I never thought he would win a chip there, competition was too deadly imo and Chris Paul ain’t S#!T)
This Clippers team is going further than Philly would have. Health isn’t an argument either.
Nice review
nice video
Let him silence us in the playoffs.
We all stand corrected. He is a system. Onward to a championship.
Top 5 SG of all Time
he's a combo guard
like Jerry West, Curry, DJ, Pistol, Starbury etc
Haters gonna move the goal post…first it wouldn’t work, now it’ll be he has PG and Kawhi, then it’ll be win a championship…they play great together so far so yes the hater were wrong in saying they couldn’t mesh. Everything else is to be seen 🤷🏾♂️
Imagine the slander if they choke which is a very real possibility
go james,, show them what its all about ,,in the
Not the “passing of James Harden” making me think he DEAD !!! James Harden’s passes LMAOOO
im a clippers fan ever since i was a kid and that harden is really good player hes a season riser im just skeptical on the playoffs
I've reviewed all Clippers games after their 9th game together and clearly the only way teams beat them is if they shoot >40% at 3's. lol!
Sixers fan the hate is not enough he shrinks in biggest games.
real goat of mine🎉🎉🎉
not hating him but lets wait for playoffs
Zu can score 25 on big% if fed properly
Harden needs to avg more shots per game and start using the middy more
No he needs to do what’s working for them to win. Smh
This team just needs to stay healthy
injuries are inevitable, nobody's perfect
what the team **needs** to do to win it all is to overcome adversity better than the other teams do
give clippers more capable defenders 🏆
They need some switchable wings. Even one more solid 6 foot 9 mobile defender would help
I think, theis is a very capable defender, and it has shown, since they started the winning streak once theis joined
Crazy that one of the greatest offensive players of all time is considered the 3rd scoring option on his team, and this team isn't even completely smashing the league how it would seem they should be on paper. 😂
One of the greatest offensive players? No
@@jasonmoukala8909 Name 15 better
DAWG
James Harden isn't silencing anything until he remains the same size in the Playoffs and doesn't shrink like a flaccid, shriveled little cocktail sausage.
Same size but a 33 year old gave you two 40 point he's and he's not the number 1 option on the team 😂😂😂😂😂 ok
Leopards don’t change their spots. JH is a bluffer.
I'm still hating.
Wait for the playoffs bro, all of that doesn’t matter. Can’t wait to see what he can do in the pl1yoffs
you can expect him to drop 1 or 2 40 pt game just like last post season against the celtics but kawaii gonna be the closer of that team
You can expect kawhi to drop 30 pg 20, harden just needs to continue to pass.
That guy obviously dont watch playoff ball, no need to explain shit to him. Harden was the reason they got 2 wins. last year in the playoffs but he on that Harden hate . @@haroldjayledda5566
Not gonna be different, clippers gon be champions
@@haroldjayledda5566 Harden isn't a 40 percent 3 point shooter. He hasn't had a single season of 40 percent shooting except this season. This could just be an anomaly. Since his debut in 2009 he hasn't shot 40 percent from 3 even one full season. His career average is only 36 percent from 3. He is either benefiting from easier looks or it could be a short term hot streak that will end at some stage
Yall do this every single year.
Playoffs. Once he does it in the PLAYOFFS people will respect it. The "hate" was there because he was playing like trash with two of the top 5-10 two way players in the entire league. He's just doing what he's supposed to do, in the regular season. Once he does it in the PLAYOFFS you can make videos like this. Granted you can make them now, but if he shits the bed in the playoffs, like he's done consistently for the last 5 years almost, this video will age like milk unfortunately.
Harden will choke, PG is injury prone and Kawhi needs version update every season...
I ll call this Newton's 4th law
Nah bro he aint silencing nobody, Harden a selfish bum that causes drama
And you a keyboard warrior
@@thehyperboliccookout683 aint never winning a title and couldn’t ever win with Rockets, adios kid
@@MatthewSandberg every person he has ever played with in the play offs has been sick. He had a winning playoff average. Everyone doesn’t win but we will see history is has yet to be written. All is for given with winning, take it easy old man
Unsure how he is silencing the hate when he has 2 other All-NBA caliber teammates playing beside him.
Let's wait til the end of their playoff run, then we can talk.
Did you not hear the hate he was receiving when they went 0-6 after the trade? That’s the hate he’s silencing.
Man I never so much clippers fans like you dudes keep saying he silencing ppl but ain’t help the team with nothing Yet come playoff time he’ll be going 5-14 every other game
5-14 but every nba player does that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 tell me how many nba players dropped 40pts twice in one series
@@heigherheights21 idk lebron maybe harden when he wasn’t washed I used to be a harden fan until I seen he had Kevin Durant tendencies Feeling like switching a team every year is the right way to go he did embidd wrong Man was alright for philly
I disagree!
Harden plays EXTREMELY slow.. he doesn’t move the ball quickly at times..
Harden & PG dribble the air out the ball SMH
he doesn’t finish at the rim all to well
His defense is HORRIBLE! ZERO EFFORT, flat out LAZY..
If Westbrook could actually finish at the rim & not commit silly turnovers it wouldn’t be no need for Harden.
lol get off the crack pipe player
#HARDEN
Watch some games please
U haven’t watched any of the games this year
HATER HAHA, WATCH CLIPS GAMES IDIOT
@@s_yan5462 I’ve watched every single Clippers game since Kawhi got on the team.. Harden is ass, can’t name one thing I said that was off in my comment.
