James Harden is the Biggest Manufactured "Superstar" Player in the League

[BallsOut]

Just breathe on the guy and its automatically 2 free throws. Tonight he went to the line 16 times, the Lakers had a total of 15 FTs. That means Harden shot more FTs than the entire Lakers team.

James Harden is the biggest manufactured "Superstar" player in the NBA, it's disgusting how many free throws he is gifted a game. If Allen Iverson were dead, he'd be rolling over in his grave right now.

[Trollsmasher]

Yep, he is up there with Durant.

[andremiller07]

100% agree it's really hard to watch his play with the amount of favourable calls he gets.

[The Iron Fist]

Its the retarded beard.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

He should be ashamed of himself for letting Steve Blake drive past him on that one possession.

Steve Kerr called him out for it, he knows how easy it his to contain a non athletic white guy like Blake since he was one in the NBA.

Harden can't even do that.

Ok, this is seriously ban worthy.

He's right tho. Look at Durants shot chart, it's god tier. Even if you h8 the dude you have to admit he's a scoring machine from anywhere on the floor.

All Har_en does is jack up 3s and run into people on offense. No defense, no hustle, no leadership. He was good in a Ginobli role but shit as a #1 if you wanna contend. If he's not getting calls he's worthless. Look at the Finals.

Yet OKC will still continue to get ripped for not paying this niqqa the max. lmaoo

The dude can shoot. Nobody doubts that. He's a great scorer. Who says otherwise?

He's been by far the best scorer in the league since he was 23.

Even mentioning Harden in the same breath as Durant is an insult

Harden leaving OKC will prevent Durant from ever winning a ring.

James Harden can score but cant defend. Dwight can defend but cant score. They compliment each other, but tonight they got owned.

I still don't get why people bash Harden for having an incredibly effective ability to draw fouls/FTs. It's a viable offensive strategy and far more likely to be sustainable than shooting perimeter jumpers. You don't go cold from the FT line. It's not like Harden is useless as a shooter and playmaker either. It's not visually appealing but it's damn effective. Harden being able to get to the FT line a lot is a good thing.

It's a stupid thing to point out as a negative. If you're really antsy to rip into Harden, go after the piss poor defensive effort shown so far this year.

Quite the opposite.

Trading that flopping, no defense, mental midget clown for Lambs/Adams/Mavs 1st round pick was the best thing Presti has ever done for our franchise

It isnt reliable.. youre at the mercy of the referees.

Especially with the flopping. In the playoffs they just let it go at a certain point and you have to get buckets.

[Trollsmasher]

Yep. Durant who just shot 50/40/90 last year

dumbass n!gger

Can we ban this racist, Jeff?

He wouldn't have shot anywhere close to that if he did not get a BS whistle after a half of his misses.

Durant with Melo/LeBron treatment - 24 ppg on 44/40/90.
