If James Harden underrated?

[KendrickPerkins]

People talk about this dude af if he's NOT a top 5 player in the world.

Like he's a joke or sumthin...

I really don't get it.

This cat is an absolute ****ing monster. So skilled and crafty, but at the same time built like a tank and really athletic.

The way he handles the ball, drives to the cup, and forces defenders to foul him is absolutely breath taking to watch. And don't get me started on his vision/passing. What a playmaker he is. Not only that, but he's a WET shooter.

At the end of the day, I think we need to appreciate this guy more. He's a rare breed of size/strength/athleticism and skill.

Seriously. Let's show the beard some more love for this upcoming season.

Even though I'm an OKC fan I think he looks better in a Rockets jersey and I'm happy he has his own team. Someone like him shouldn't be forced to come off the bench because he happens to be on the same team as Westbrook/Durant, who overshadowed him every single game and practice.

He's a joke

Cheers
Explain.

He would eat your 2 dollar lunch and defecate on your entire family if you stepped on the court with him.

You're damn right he's a joke...

The shit he does on the court is ****ing hilarious to me.

Dr. Smoothe. :bowdown:

[Springsteen]

He's just way too inconsistent in the playoffs for all his transcendental play in the regular season.

Remember this is the guy who broke the playoff record for turnovers by a player in a single game in his most important game of the season. I'm not even going to get into his play in that Portland series.

[Genaro]

People seem to forget that even at a such young age he already owns a playoff record.

[bobopenguin]

he is the best example of - star of regular season and first 3 quarters - category.

dont be shamed, he's still star though.

face it bruh, if he played 4th quarter vs clippers, rockets would have few extra holidays to go fishing.

[JellyBean]

Some people just don't appreciate the skill set that James Harden brings to a team. I have been a fan since his days at ASU. Harden is major talent. :applause:

[UK2K]

*insert gif of Harden making Rubio scoot around the floor on his knees*

He's a legit star. Easily top 5. I think Harden, Lebron, Durant, Steph, and Westbrook are on their own level.

U need to put ADs name there as well brah. :no:

[HOoopCityJones]

Ive never seen another Star player benched during the 4th quarter in a crucial playoff game before. Like ever.

Then he followed that gem up by breaking the record for turnovers.

Harden's already a legend imo.

Did you see how quickly the Lakers collapsed after Magic was forced to retire? They did not become competitive again for eight years.
Yes, Magic is the greatest.

What? No rings post Hakeem time? Pls only talk when u guys land a ring, before that, keep quiet.

[RRR3]

Harden had a good playoffs this year. One horribly bad game in a series his team was down 3-1 doesn't change that.


To answer OP,

Yes on ish he is very underrated.

[inclinerator]

if james harden underrated

[bobopenguin]

U guys are crazy man, harden is already on top 5 talk, what kind of underrated talk is that? He's rated fine.
U guys want to push him in mj, Kobe, Lebron now?

I apologize.
You're right.

No we want people to stop saying he sucks while simultaneously holding him to the same standards as Kobe and LBJ. That's not fair.

[KendrickPerkins]

I don't understand your point.

He's smart for not shooting long midrange twos, the worst shot in basketball.

In terms of skill, he's at or near the top of the list. What a buffoon you are, son.

Stick to trolling LeBron. You have nothing on Harden.

Secretly almost everyone want harden in their team brah.

It's rather pointless to determine the quality of a shot by distance.
In another perspective, he can't take advantage of the mid-range areas as well as he should - It might have to do with him doing that AND1 influenced dribble for 5 seconds to let the world know he's taking it himself.

Also, he seems to make shots when he's already cleared up space for one. When the D goes up with him, he doesn't have the ability to go up regardless of space like Kobe who would take less time to make decision at the top and use his jumper for mid-range in case paint is anticipating.

% FGA 3ft - <3pt

Harden - 31%
Curry - 33%

I guess Curry isn't skilled either.

[triangleoffense]

I'm sorry but Harden just looks like a retard.. that sh1tty haircut and growing out his beard just to be a gimmick.

If he wants to be taken seriously get a haircut and stop looking like some afro-punk fanboy. Doesn't seem to be a leader either. Him and Dwight on the same team :facepalm
