nguyenvanhiepmarcus what do you mean he doesn’t get respect from his peers the guy has been voted MVP by the players 3 times. Harden carries the hole team on his shoulders which is something I can’t say about any player now in days. Look at Golden State they have 3 all stars and 2 MVPs on their starting lineup. LeBron had to team up with Bosh and wade to get his first chip then teamed up with Kylie and love. Show me a player you can plug into Houston’s Roster and see if they will take that team to the playoffs and match what he does. The players that hate him is because they are haters and the rest of them know his value which is why he has been voted mvp by the players even the year steph won the mvp

Back when Lebron get foul calls, defenders used to wrap around him just to make sure the foul doesn’t lead to an And1. He looks to score before the foul. Harden and CP3 looks for the foul without actual intention to shoot. Especially harden, many times, they are phantom fouls, no contact whatsoever and the no call travels too. Watching him play is just annoying. I am glad they are ringless, it is the basketball gods saying nope. I hope someone like Metta comes back and knock him out again, so that he wouldn’t dare to flop anymore.

Temporarily exposing the ball when going for a layup to bait defenders is a smart play. Every player jumps forward on jumpshots except for Blake Griffin (with his straight up and down jumper). Power is generated from the ground up, your legs naturally sway forward for balance. 90% of Harden's jumpshots are natural movements, the 10% being when he tries to karate kick his defender mid air (which is an offensive foul). Before anyone tries to correct me on the leg sway, try walking without moving your legs forward for balance.
