@@AClaiderman I’d much rather watch selfish basketball rather than foul grifting lol. Prime Harden played in the worst rule book era imo, he was allowed to literally lunge into people and make non basketball moves and it was always a foul on the defender, the anti-flop and and initiated contact rules that were added were literally to counter Hardens style of play. I just like basketball. Try to score on me, try to stop me. Not weird loop holes and getting free points despite the defense doing nothing wrong. If your playstyle is getting fouls that are literally only called in the nba, then I do not like your playstyle. That being said, Harden took advantage of a flawed rule book

That's actually the spurs "playoff secret". That was the whole point of CP3 after 2017. Funny how no spur fans will mention thier roster that year. The spurs are now the reason why players skip games Who do you think taught Kawhi Leonard to sit out so many games. Heck he joined and already 60 win team while also adding post defense in Marc Gasol. Yet Kawhi Leonard was still using load management. Ha. Easy to have energy or "consistency" at the end of the season when you load manage for most of your prime years. Kyrie is a perfect example. Kyrie played only three seasons with at least 70 regular season games. Yes you heard that right, only three. Funny to watch casual who obviously don't watch the game all year get amazed by Kyrie "consistency". There was one point where Harden played more games than both KD and Kyrie combined and Kyrie wasn't even hurt. What about how Harden had to play without Joel embiid at one point against both Boston and Miami. Dwight was playing the least games and minutes at the point of his career. Keep in mind Dwight Howard played in more games with Kobe than in any season he did with Harden. Plus Kobe had Steve Nash as well that year. But hey let's pretend none of this happened. You can also debate Wade 2006 team was better than any Harden had in his prime. Just to put the 2000s, 2010s, and the beginning of the 2020s into perspective. Hakeem dominated the era of the centers. Shaq "dominated" the era of the power forward. Huge difference. Plus Shaq and Kobe (not kobe and shaq) got bailed out in 2000 and 2002. Can you even call this a legitimate threepeat let alone a back to back? Cute. Look at giannis weak champ. Imagine if Hakeem missed games in the playoff while his team advanced without him to the next round during a champ run. Yet that's exactly what happened to giannis in 2021. The 1971 Bucks played against an injured Lakers and Baltimore team. Yet you can still debate 1971 was more competitive than 2021. Which do you prefer? 1971 Bucks or 2021? Sorry Giannis fans. Hey remember when people try to say kobe quote about Harden was true. Cute. Yall realize kobe qoute was actually what Phil Jackson said about Kobe in his prime. Yes go back and look what Phil Jackson said. Keep in mimd this happened right after the 2004 choke. Hey remember when kobe also said Devon Mitchell was going to beat Prime Harden? Now you see why Mitchell tries to play like Kobe so much. Harden never had a superteam in his prime. Let alone choke with one like Kobe did in 2004 or LeBron and Wade in 2011. What happened to kobe after he ran Shaq and Phil off? Right. Nothing. Kobe even missed the playoffs during his prime. In his prime. It took three players to replace Shaq in Odom, Gasol, and Andrew Bynum. While Phil Jackson returned. The Rockets took kobe to game 7 in 2009. Keep in mind Tmac missed the entire series while Yao missed half the series. Plus game 7 of 2010 is another example of kobe bricking and getting bailed out. Yet this is suppose to save kobe from the shaq talk? Hahaha!!! Kobe and Shaq loved themselves more than the game. Meanwhile, Spurs started load management. That's the spurs "playoff secret" during the Tim era. You can thank Tim spurs for the reason players play less now. Lebron picked up kobe and Shaq selfishness and the Spurs load management tactics. Plus Team USA wasn't the best during the 2000s even with LeBron and prime Tim. With all due respect. Plus I like how Tim fans pretend Tim never choked to an eight seed in the first round. Plus Tim choked at the free throw line. Yes Tim was hackable. Hey remember when warriors kept fouling Rockets to keep them from breaking another three point record. They even had Draymond Green commit flagrant foul on the Rockets. This was around 2013. Houston Rockets are the only team in history to lead the league in three attempts and made. While also winning the champ in the same season. No other team have done this even once. Rockets did it twice. 2018 was going to be only the third time in NBA history. "but but but they missed all those 3's in game 7". Cute, the "greatest of all time" warriors couldn't even win back to back at the time. Hey remember when spur fans claimed Bruce Bowen wasn't dirty. He injured other teams top stars multiple times doing this. Kinda ironic Zaza from the warriors used the Bruce Bowen move on Kawhi and injured him in 2017. Warriors resorted to doing the same in 2018 game 7. Some of those missed threes were straight up fouls. Keep in mind even with the difference in the roster and last resort Bruce Bowen moves. Warriors won by only 9 points. Sorry. Warriors are far from "the greatest of all time". With all due respect. Warriors have never won a champ without injuries to their opponents top two stars. This includes 2015, 2017, and 2018. Glass ankle curry couldn't even win FMVP until half the league was injured. Cute. Before KD warriors had no back to back and a 3-1 choke job. Guess they didn't believe in curry like they claimed. Kinda funny to see curry fans bash KD for his overrated ring. When curry shares the same overrated ring. They're trying to cut the finger to save the hand. Hey remember when LeBron and KD blamed the old Rockets and old Celtics for joining superteams in their 20s. Drexler and Charles didn't even join Hakeem until after a decade in the league. The "youngest" Celtics 3 (Paul, Kevin, and Ray) was older than the Heat 3 "oldest" player. LeBron was 25 at the time be created a superteam. That's adorable. LeBron beat only one 50 win team up to 2010. That was a Detroit Piston who didn't even have Ben Wallace. Plus lebron 2007 team was a defensive minded team. They even held the spurs to 85 or less in three out of the four games. They gave LeBron a chance to win. What happened? They forced LeBron into more jump shots. What's next? His fake 2020 bubble champ that was clearly handed to him? Please enlighten. I'll debate today's game is just as good as ever. The fans of lebron, kobe, shaq, tim, and curry are the one's holding back basketball. All the load management since the 2000s. They're the ones who started the "regular season don't matter but I'll still take the fans money while our players sit out". The superteams getting exposed in their prime when "playoffs matter" during 2010s. Adorable.

“Foul baiting narrative” is a weird way to say that Harden actively foul baited at a level we have never seen before, so much so that they created rules to stop it. Yeah, he scored a lot and played amazing, but let us not act like he was not foul baiting like crazy.

To be fair, while I'm usually the one to try and "slow down" those who always say Kobe is the best at everything, there are some fair points to be made here. Firstly, I'm not gonna act like Harden was doing something wrong or something that was not impressive, but those free-throw abusing games definitely won't get as much love. But still, secondly, the eras were very very different, and one could argue that Kobe's dead-ball era scoring accomplishments were at least just as impressive as Harden's 2019 ones.

Yall got duped if yall believe the "James Harden cant carry and chokes". "James Harden travels" lines. Bewhahaha. Sorry James Harden haters. That's not a travel. The NBA released a statement going into detail on why they couldn't call it a travel according to the 2009 rule change. People tend to skip this part. LeBron, Kobe, and Wade traveled so much they had to change the travel rule in 2009 to allow an extra step. Hey remember when kobe would hit people in the neck and head area when defended well. Harden is a cleaner version of Kobe. The double standard is adorable. Players like LeBron, Derek Fisher, Ginobili, Reggie Miller, Danny Ainge, and Vlade are examples of real flopping. Do you remember Lebron flopping in Miami. On ball off ball heck LeBron was flopping during timouts. Yet hey let's pretend none of this happened. I like how yall are against load manage in the regular season. Yet bash Harden for balling in the regular season during his prime. While skipping other teams who will load manage and skip games. That's actually the spurs "playoff secret". That was the whole point of CP3 after 2017. Funny how no spur fans will mention thier roster that year. The spurs are now the reason why players skip games Who do you think taught Kawhi Leonard to sit out so many games. Heck he joined and already 60 win team while also adding post defense in Marc Gasol. Yet Kawhi Leonard was still using load management. Ha. Easy to have energy or "consistency" at the end of the season when you load manage for most of your prime years. Kyrie is a perfect example. Kyrie played only three seasons with at least 70 regular season games. Yes you heard that right, only three. Funny to watch casual who obviously don't watch the game all year get amazed by Kyrie "consistency". There was one point where Harden played more games than both KD and Kyrie combined and Kyrie wasn't even hurt. What about how Harden had to play without Joel embiid at one point against both Boston and Miami. Dwight was playing the least games and minutes at the point of his career. Keep in mind Dwight Howard played in more games with Kobe than in any season he did with Harden. Plus Kobe had Steve Nash as well that year. But hey let's pretend none of this happened. You can also debate Wade 2006 team was better than any Harden had in his prime. Just to put the 2000s, 2010s, and the beginning of the 2020s into perspective. Hakeem dominated the era of the centers. Shaq "dominated" the era of the power forward. Huge difference. Plus Shaq and Kobe (not kobe and shaq) got bailed out in 2000 and 2002. Can you even call this a legitimate threepeat let alone a back to back? Cute. Look at giannis weak champ. Imagine if Hakeem missed games in the playoff while his team advanced without him to the next round during a champ run. Yet that's exactly what happened to giannis in 2021. The 1971 Bucks played against an injured Lakers and Baltimore team. Yet you can still debate 1971 was more competitive than 2021. Which do you prefer? 1971 Bucks or 2021? Sorry Giannis fans. Hey remember when people try to say kobe quote about Harden was true. Cute. Yall realize kobe qoute was actually what Phil Jackson said about Kobe in his prime. Yes go back and look what Phil Jackson said. Keep in mimd this happened right after the 2004 choke. Hey remember when kobe also said Devon Mitchell was going to beat Prime Harden? Now you see why Mitchell tries to play like Kobe so much. Harden never had a superteam in his prime. Let alone choke with one like Kobe did in 2004 or LeBron and Wade in 2011. What happened to kobe after he ran Shaq and Phil off? Right. Nothing. Kobe even missed the playoffs during his prime. In his prime. It took three players to replace Shaq in Odom, Gasol, and Andrew Bynum. While Phil Jackson returned. The Rockets took kobe to game 7 in 2009. Keep in mind Tmac missed the entire series while Yao missed half the series. Plus game 7 of 2010 is another example of kobe bricking and getting bailed out. Yet this is suppose to save kobe from the shaq talk? Hahaha!!! Kobe and Shaq loved themselves more than the game. Meanwhile, Spurs started load management. That's the spurs "playoff secret" during the Tim era. You can thank Tim spurs for the reason players play less now. Lebron picked up kobe and Shaq selfishness and the Spurs load management tactics. Plus Team USA wasn't the best during the 2000s even with LeBron and prime Tim. With all due respect. Plus I like how Tim fans pretend Tim never choked to an eight seed in the first round. Plus Tim choked at the free throw line. Yes Tim was hackable. Hey remember when warriors kept fouling Rockets to keep them from breaking another three point record. They even had Draymond Green commit flagrant foul on the Rockets. This was around 2013. Houston Rockets are the only team in history to lead the league in three attempts and made. While also winning the champ in the same season. No other team have done this even once. Rockets did it twice. 2018 was going to be only the third time in NBA history. "but but but they missed all those 3's in game 7". Cute, the "greatest of all time" warriors couldn't even win back to back at the time. Hey remember when spur fans claimed Bruce Bowen wasn't dirty. He injured other teams top stars multiple times doing this. Kinda ironic Zaza from the warriors used the Bruce Bowen move on Kawhi and injured him in 2017. Warriors resorted to doing the same in 2018 game 7. Some of those missed threes were straight up fouls. Keep in mind even with the difference in the roster and last resort Bruce Bowen moves. Warriors won by only 9 points. Sorry. Warriors are far from "the greatest of all time". With all due respect. Warriors have never won a champ without injuries to their opponents top two stars. This includes 2015, 2017, and 2018. Glass ankle curry couldn't even win FMVP until half the league was injured. Cute. Before KD warriors had no back to back and a 3-1 choke job. Guess they didn't believe in curry like they claimed. Kinda funny to see curry fans bash KD for his overrated ring. When curry shares the same overrated ring. They're trying to cut the finger to save the hand. Hey remember when LeBron and KD blamed the old Rockets and old Celtics for joining superteams in their 20s. Drexler and Charles didn't even join Hakeem until after a decade in the league. The "youngest" Celtics 3 (Paul, Kevin, and Ray) was older than the Heat 3 "oldest" player. LeBron was 25 at the time be created a superteam. That's adorable. LeBron beat only one 50 win team up to 2010. That was a Detroit Piston who didn't even have Ben Wallace. Plus lebron 2007 team was a defensive minded team. They even held the spurs to 85 or less in three out of the four games. They gave LeBron a chance to win. What happened? They forced LeBron into more jump shots. What's next? His fake 2020 bubble champ that was clearly handed to him? Please enlighten. I'll debate today's game is just as good as ever. The fans of lebron, kobe, shaq, tim, and curry are the one's holding back basketball. All the load management since the 2000s. They're the ones who started the "regular season don't matter but I'll still take the fans money while our players sit out". The superteams getting exposed in their prime when "playoffs matter" during 2010s. Adorable.
