Why does James Harden never play defense? Was he always that bad defensively in OKC?

Why does James Harden never play defense? Was he always that bad defensively in OKC?

I actually love James Harden on defense when he can use his body to defend the post. He's really good in that regard, and was in OKC as well. He actually is a solid on Ball Defender as well, (see this year for example) he literally just looses focus. Most of his "bad" defensive plays are literally just him being forgetful and loosing focus of his man. He isn't the best at chasing guys around screens, but he's decent.

Man this is so true.

When I see him play, I swear I can see that little box above his head that reads, "Man I'm not about to chase you all over the place"

Celtics friggin' stink. I can't hate Rondo for visiting teams in the off season, this summer.

Rondo single handedly has sabatoged 3 or 4 winnable games at the end thigh this season.

Word

Lol word to missing on 5 straight possessions against the Bulls and missing two free throws in the fourth.

Keep it up, Rondo. I've never liked you

Hope he doesn't harm himself coming back so soon.

ok I shouldn't have used the word never but I've noticed he always seems to be having problems playing defense consistently. Sometimes he does good but I always seem to catch him playing no defense or ,like you said, dozes off.

Nick Young is a fool man.

When asked, Where do you think you will be 20 years from now in comparison to Kobes 30k and 6k assists.

Nick: Probably 40k points

Reporter: What about assists

Nick: Probably a hunnid, first player ever with 20 years and a hunnid assists

Q miller before his ACL injury was projected as a top 3 pick. That ACL injury really set him back athletically.

Wroten also had a acl injury in hs, quincy was just never an athletic player

Wroten wouldve been a lotto pick if he went to uk instead of teague

Manu would've fallen apart physically if he ever had to play big minutes consistently.

He's just not durable enough to be a workhorse.

I need 75+ games, 35+ mpg from my star 2 guard.

Manu can't give me that.

adidas is stupid, the solution is so simple and easy to implement 

each host city picks 10 local artists who each design an allstar jersey that captures the heart of the host city

people online vote for their favorite of the bunch

winner is happy because he gets free promotion of his art, fans are happy because they get an awesome jersey every year

everyone wins

I had to find the clip

 

[buc em]

was scrolling though my fb newsfeed this morning and saw some generic practice jerseys and didnt think much of them

just now realised that those are this years allstar jerseys 

adidas making trash jerseys year after year all so they can eventually save money by not even hiring a designer anymore 

Nah bro....they're "great" and are the "best ASG jerseys in a decade."

 

[osh kosh bosh]

This is an insane story.

Big baby out weighs KG by like 100 pounds and lost an arm wrestling contest to him?

KG must have broke him mentally.

Some All-Star events went on sale today, presale code is NYKNBA
Got some Rising Stars tickets for $50 all fees included. Hope I'm able to get some ASG tickets for cheap when they get released

KG made Big Baby cry on the sidelines

It is possible for them to be the best ASG uniforms in a decade and still not be great, as I said in my post about them. I guess I would put it this way - they're the best ASG uniforms in the Adidas era (at least, that I can remember).

1000%correct this is addidas best uni closly followed by the mono tone joints that everybody hated but were decent

I honestly wonder sometimes whether KG would be a functional member of society if he wasn't a pro athlete. Dude definitely has a couple screws loose.
