Maybe my mind is giving out on me, but I just dont remember prime Manu getting THAT level of treatment.


True. Probably because Manu had more stars to lean on and wasn't on the floor for as many minutes as Harden has to be for HOU. When he had long hair for a couple of seasons, he was terrific at exaggerating contact.

The other thing is Manu didn't flop quite as often as Harden does. I know that sounds biased coming from me, but Harden seeks out a lot of contact in the open floor as a ballhandler. Manu primarily did his theatrics on defense or at the rim.

Harden flops more than anyone save maybe Chris Paul.

I admit, when it isnt against Dallas I find it funny watching him get shot by a high powered rifle 2-3 times a quarter

Oh I disagree. Manu was the progenitor of the upward head jerk that Harden and the clippers perfected.
