    True, it should be obvious to anyone with half a brain that McHale was a clown. Its like saying the sky is blue.

    they're both right about each other.

    harden isn't a top tier leader compared to other mvp candidates and milkhair didn't coach, but was hired because he was a big name that could recruit FAs.

    If you take out last year when Harden's usage rate was an extreme outlier, Harden and Curry's career turnover percentages are actually nearly identical.

    Going into last season it was:
    Curry: 15.2%
    Harden: 14.3%


    Curry is now at 14.6% for his career.

    Curry's totals are low because Draymond handles the ball more than he does.

    I'm glad Harden finally clapped back at that child. McHale has been on Harden ever since he was fired. His wife even had words and I hope she gets put in her place too.

    Dmo didnt want to play with Harden so bad that he run to the other side of the world just to stay away from him.
    China is much better. No doubt. Especially when you know your rights.

    True. The worst JVG has said about TMac is that he's such an amazing talent that he wasn't the best practice player. But not once did he throw him under the bus and then laugh about it on TV.

    Clearly Westbrook is an amazing leader.

    Lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, and shots taken.

    Someone mentioned Team USA. Speaking of that and leadership.... How about this quote from Coach K.
    http://nba.nbcsports.com/2014/08/19...en-as-good-a-leader-as-weve-had-for-team-usa/

    Also worth noting, showing Coach K "helping Harden become a better leader" as opposed to McHale not doing anything in this capacity.

    Where is the media with this? *crickets*

    Get the absolute **** out of here. Better defender.

    I have never, ever, EVER seen James Harden whilst being the man defending the action, run away from the man with the ball, grab his teammates jersey and force them to switch so he doesn't get abused again.

    Z-Bo
    Marc Gasol
    Blake Griffin

    They're just a few of the big boys who have tried to abuse Harden in the post and have given up going back to it after they couldn't beat him.

    That's actually Harden's defense strength, so I'm not sure why you're using that. He's best served as a 4 man defenisvely.

    How about you bring up Nate Wolters, Cory mother****ing Cory @Pen15clubber Brewer dropping 52. PJ Tucker putting down career highs on him, etc. :Luke Babbit having a career game against him, too.

    Harden's perimeter defense is ****, Steph's smart enough to acknowledge he's a little b**** and get out the way. harden sits there near nobody while his man is cutting backdoor on him.I love my Rockets, but enough to acknowledge and be honest about Harden's defense. It's the ****ing worst. It's literally a huge liability.

    Great post! All I gotta do is keep this on repeat.

    Really, McHale could've just said CP3 can help Harden become a better leader. He didn't have to talk s*** about Harden's leadership or defensive capabilities. Unfortunately, media's perception of Harden is getting worse because of McHale.

    @Mathrocker is a moron so it's prob unintentional. @SirIvyLeague did it by accident I think. Several times I tag both of them @Drexlerfan22 because I accidentally clicked and then just tagged the other one as well. Bc I feel like 22 is my bro and I was wrong

    Lol wrong thread but you catch my drift
