James Harden on what he was doing in Atlanta in Vegas during training camp:
"I was just training."
For what?
"The start of the NBA season."
Why in Atlanta and Vegas instead of Houston?
"My personal trainers."

Vegas got pels 10th or 11 in the conference that is about Where I have them.

Similar stories can be written about a dozen other NBA superstars. They're upset that Harden got excused absences to skip practices? Remember when LeBron took a two-week break to go to South Beach during the middle of the season when he was in Cleveland? 
Who cares as long as it doesn't affect his production on the court?

Yeah, I don't think this is all that shocking. It's on the organization if they think he is out of control. But, for the most part, he produces. So, you can't say much.

The guy who is the same is Chris Paul.
At wake forest, #2 seed, loses in rd 2.
In nba, anytime he is the lead player he Loses in rd 2 (at best).
It was only when he played second fiddle, was he able to make it out of the second round.
Same goes for russ. Couldn’t get out the first rd for 3 years as lead player, even with the 3rd place MVP on his team. It was only when he took a step back to robin, did his team advance.
Boom is right, Harden should be compared to guys on Paul and Westbrook's tier, not Lebron's tier.
Good job Boom.

Imagine trying to frame it as a this big red X when someone goes to vegas for a weekend or 3 day weekend. IE when they have 2 or 3 days off.
Some of the people who saying “but he goes party in vegas!!” Probably go to Biloxi or whatever once a month to blow off steam.

I always say lebron has the better career. His extended peak was better.
Mike
Lebron
Harden
Top 3 peak 3 year BPM in nba history.
However harden has been better for a half decade by any Number of metrics. You know what they say, when one advanced stat tells you one player is better, it doesn’t carry a whole lot of weight. When they ALL agree, well you have your answer.

Stories like this (along with pandering to BLM) are why sports viewership and enthusiasm is down across the board.
People are growing tired of super rich man-children and the spineless executives that enable them.

Imagine being such a cuck that you blindly defend Harden when he’s literally playing games with your franchise right out in the public eye. A franchise who has pampered him and made every move he’s ever asked for in an effort to stay competitive and keep him happy.
The sad part is that Houston looks to have a team that could be very competitive. Wall looked great in pre-season game. But they won’t be because their leader (your bull) isn’t there doing his job to create a championship culture.
And miss me with his individual statistics bullshite. Has nothing to do with his leadership skills-which clearly he has none. I absolutely despise LeBron but compare the culture of each players teams. Talent wise, Harden is up there, but leadership wise he doesn’t belong in the same conversation as LeBron, Steph, Dirk, Timmy, Dwade, KG, etc. All guys who’ve won and led their teams to championships, something HardLn will never do.
I know you have a role to play so you’ll refute this post with some dumbass out of left field stat, but deep down, you know it’s true. Your character’s arc would be more interesting if it showed growth.

There is more than one side, to every story.

Well, now we know where Pinata heads to when he goes on his "vacation" once the Rockets are eliminated each season

Kawhi quit the spurs because they didn’t sign Chris Paul because Jalen Rose said so.

You don’t wanna get into a battle of wits with me Bubba
As usual, you pick out 1 line of a post that you think you can contest and ignore everything else. It’s the Piñata way.

When the best player, is the hardest working player, and he inspires his other teammates to work more at their craft -
It doesn’t get much better than that when it comes to leadership.

I made a mistake. Lebron did beat him at once advanced stat, for one season, in the last half decade. But you get the point ....

That was kawhi talking about kawhi
These are someone else talking about harden
One person is speaking for themselves, the other isnt. Clear difference, but tbt I would not expect you to be able to see the difference.
