James Harden says he's the best basketball player alive

Scoop: Bottom line, you are on this team and a lot of players aren

[Smook A.]

Cool. I like his confidence, but first he's gotta prove himself and most importantly he's got to step up in the playoffs.

[moe94]

Should be interesting. Hopefully some hypocrites are exposed.

[Milbuck]

What is he supposed to say?

He's wrong as **** and smells like shit, but good on him for being confident in himself. Hopefully this translates to him not wetting the bed in the playoffs again.

[j3lademaster]

You have to have this kind of confidence to make it in the NBA, especially as a first option. Natural length, athleticism, etc can only take you so far; look at Anthony Randolph.

[Jailblazers7]

Guess Lillard is gonna have to put him in his place in the playoffs again.

[Straight_Ballin]

It's stupid responses like this from Harden than cause people to question his game. If he can't even answer a simple question correctly, how can anyone expect him to make a simple defensive play?

[JohnFreeman]

Judging by the ice challenge, he doesn't care too much about keeping in shape. Terrible work ethic.

I hoping for exactly the opposite.

[Springsteen]

Eh it's a win-win. I want him to have confidence through the roof, his conditioning/athleticism maximized, his skills refined...and still get destroyed. Still loses (preferably by another Lillard series-clinching game winner) despite playing as well as he possibly could, knowing that there was absolutely nothing he could've done.

Or if he sucks again, that's fun too.

Lol the hell were you watching? he didn't look out of shape at all.

:roll:

And based on what that escort said about him on social network, he has a small pecker.

Now we know why he's been having some Napoleon complex quotes lately. First it was the cornerstone/role players quote and now this one.:roll:

Dude seriously looks unattractive with the combination of those teeth and beard. All the money you need in the NBA and he can't get his teeth straightened? I know his beard is cool and all but if he didn't play in the NBA and get the exposure he does he probably wouldn't even get the time of day by groupies lmfao with those looks.

There was a pic of him from HS without the beard. He was mistaken for a soft butch lesbian WNBA player :roll: (can't find the pic though)...the beard is a gimmick to overcompensate for his androgynous appearance.:roll:

Why are you concerned with his appearance? Dude talking about hypotheticals. Cool the hate :kobe:

[G.O.A.T]

In a related story Harden plans killing spree targeting 8-10 Elite NBA Players.

[AnaheimLakers24]

being retarded =/= confidence.

Hey, what's a little hate from some internet nobody matter when he's stacking the big bucks and can ball harder than anyone on here? :confusedshrug:

[JohnFreeman]

Hardens Portland series was just awful

[Nuff Said]

I'm sure even he doesn't truly believe that. He has nothing to show for it. He's just copping out.

I was gonna say Harden should lose that beard but he may even be uglier without it.. :wtf:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

People are overly down on him right now...he's still a very good player bordering top 10

[YouGotServed]

:applause: Best shooting guard in the NBA by far.

[Fudge]

He's wrong as **** and smells like shit, but good on him for being confident in himself. Hopefully this translates to him not wetting the bed in the playoffs again.

Stop blowing ass in the post season and maybe he'll get some respect.

Pretty boy swag.

[strifed169]

How can he say this when he is the NBA's worst defender who gets lit up for 50 pionts by the likes of Brewer, Blake, Riddick, Burke and shot 30% in the past 2 playoffs, so bad.

[gasolina]

He may be top ten but he deserves all the hate he's getting. He absolutely ****ed it up when it matters the most. This is the same reason Dirk gets major props, because he showed up when it mattered (except 2006)

[UK2K]

Good.

I want my best player to think he's the best player in the world.

He said he's not even close to his max potential later in the article. That's what I like to read. Now he's gotta back it up, but if he gets any better from last season he will have an argument for top 3 in the league.

I don't get this line of thinking. He's not being confident, he's being delusional. A better answer would have been, " I'd have to say, it's Lebron but I think that I'm one of the best and I'm going to keep working as hard as I can until I'm considered the best by my peers." That's the answer a confident, objective player would give. But no, in this league you have every player from Nick Young to James Harden saying that they're the best. It's ridiculous. He's so far from the best it's pathetic.

I don't see the problem. He should be confident in himself.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Not even top 25:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[G-train]

He would definitely believe that. As would anyone in the top 20-25 actual best players.

[UK2K]

Offensively he is probably a top 5 player.

Lebron, Durant, Curry, Melo, Harden in no particular order.

If, in his third season as a starter, he can even slightly improve his FG %, and gets serious about his defense, the sky is the limit. He already averages 6 boards and 5 assists, outstanding for a SG.

[Fudge]

Dude said he's the best all-around player in the NBA. :facepalm

I'm done.

Reread the thread again. He is getting hate because he is one of the worst defender and a choker in the playoffs.

[Stringer Bell]

Wow, an all-star player thinking he's the best.

What a shock!!

Of course, he is wrong, but why do people care so much, or act surprised?

Harden & Howard - Dumb & Dumber

Y'all thought he was joking. ****ing plebs.

Y'all thought he was joking. ****ing plebs.

Lol, you actually would take James Harden over Lebron James in the playoffs?

Get out of here.

[kenny817]

You're probably 13 years old

This thread is as big a joke as it was when it was created. I think Harden has a great shot at MVP but lol @ this guy being the best basketball player in the league.

[iamgine]

Scoop: Best time of your life right now?

Harden: Yeah. Definitely. I'm enjoying this. Still trying to catch guys like LeBron, KD and Kobe. You know, just trying to catch those guys. That's something I get to look forward to every single day to motivate me.

Scoop: That's your motivation? Still those guys? Because you know you can still serve them on the court every now and then.

Harden: Listen [long pause], until I get rings I can't say anything.
