Just wondering.

This board was filled with Rockets haters and Harden haters the last couple years--experts who declared James Harden would be a bust when thrust into the role as "the man" on the Rockets.

Have they been back to apologize and eat crow yet?

Most of them now make fun of the Thunder for making a horrible trade.

This thread won't go well.

I ate that crow two years ago. Even though I didn't specifically say he would be a bust as a starter, I was on the fence about him. Guy is a hell of a player and has surpassed my expectations. I love watching him play.

People will only stop making fun of the Thunder if they win a title.

Yea, I'd say everyone has acknowledged Harden is a superstar.

People predict dumb things a lot. If you made a thread for every widely-held opinion that later turned out to be incorrect, you'd need another board.

Oh, so he's got to be the greatest defensive player of all-time, too?

And ... considering his defense has improved 100 percent, a rather pitiful attempt to save some face with gifs.

Paste all the gifs you want. Bottom line, James Harden is the likely MVP.

There is somehow a large number of people who think Harden is a douche. I really don't understand it. He should probably just play for the Spurs, where you can cheat on Eva Longoria with a teammate's wife and have everyone forget about it.

He said some pretty assholish things about my favorite radio host here in Memphis

Spurs are controversy-Teflon

Harden is the black Manu, IMO. So I like him and dislike him a little

His go to move last season was just running into ppl when he got the ball and than the ref would usually call a bs personal foul on the defender. Thats why I don't like the guy.

I don't rememver anyone saying he "wouldn't work out as a starter". Nice try tho.

I know you Rocket fans have the need to win something, because the Rockets are still a 2nd round out this year, but you can't win this as a out of left field debate.

Why you so mad about this anyhow?

I like the dude's scoring ability, but one of his nicknames just has to be Mr. Blowby
