Harden is the truth.

I hereby issue a moratorium on any negative Harden talk.

I think Harden has perfected what Wade began. He is better at drawing contact than Wade

If I was not born and raised in Houston i would hate him likely. I despise the way Wade plays and am likely just blind to Harden due to him being a great player on my team

A Eurostep is not a travel. The reason why it can appear to be a travel when the great players do it is because they take an intentional step during the gather as the dribble bounces up towards their hands. That gives them what appears to be a third step, but it is perfectly legal.

I like watching him play. At least he actually gets hit the majority of the time instead of flopping like Kyrie was against the Celtics last night.

Isn't that the point though? Being able to get to the line is so much better than settling for shots unless you shoot threes at some crazy rate

What I don't like is the conscious effort that he always seems to have when it comes to getting fouled. It's like he has a system. Head jerk/whiplash at the start of his drive, usually because the defender breathed on him. Then he does it again or exaggerates some sort of blocking foul or something around the free throw line. Then finishes with a seizure like action as he scores or attempts to score.

One of those things where I can't fault him for it. But if everyone played like him, the NBA would be impossible to watch.

I fricking hate watching his game, but there's no doubt he's one of the leagues elite players.

Not even close. He makes Wade look like he played street ball with no foul calls allowed unless there was blood.

Harden is a great player, but the fact he goes up every play trying to initiate contact and then the refs hand him free throws is a bit ridiculous and pathetic for the NBA.
