    Making shyte up again, chow is lord of spreading lies.

    Landing space rules have not changed to favor Harden, every player abides by same rules.

    b**** continues to b****. And lie his ass of too.

    That shows you don't have a clue.

    How has nobody in the NBA figured out he has the same exact dribble pattern.

    So how do you account for his drives to the basket?

    I never realized how much of a joke you are.

    So why is Harden the only one benefitting?

    Chow is pure BS.

    His Harden hatred is all consuming, only subject he is passionate about.

    Seriously doubt he is a Rockets fan.

    Harden isn't the only one benefiting. The league in general has increased their usage of contested off the dribble 3 pt attempts.

    Damian Lillard just had a Harden like month. Harden definitely is a trend setter which is another reason why so many neutral fans and sports personalities rag on Harden's game... Because they don't like the direction of it.

    I have noticed a pattern in the game threads.

    He is generally posting away in the game thread when the Rockets are struggling, and most of his posts are him whining about Harden.

    However, his posting goes down dramatically once Harden starts dominating and Rockets are winning.

    Harden stole that move from Baron Davis. Harden stole his entire style from bdiddy. Fake Rick Ross beard!
    Lilliard knocked harden out of the playoffs on a game winner five years ago.

    Ginobilli blocked one of harden's playoff game winners!

    Harden beard look like something that grows under my toilet seat! Shiet!!

    So you and "so many neutral fans" have a grudge against intelligent players...I see. James is an intellectual player, he capitalizes on mistakes, and has put the work in to be better than anyone else offensively, period. If you don't like it, don't watch....Haters want to assume last year is this year, and the results will be the same, always forgetting the load he carries during the year. Everyone thinks they're prophets, or the smartest guy in the room, cuz they gots the interweb...congrats, you win nothing, lol

    You mean like hand-checking rule and zone defense that conveniently started around 2004 when Kobe just entered his prime and LeBron was still around the corner?

    I'm sure Jordan still holds a grudge somewhere about not being able to play under similar conditions and just dominate the league even more so than he already did. Instead, he got clobbered by the Pistons who had their own set of rules for him.

    The point is the league is always evolving. These rule changes you speak of, have also given rise to the Steph Curry of the world who otherwise wouldn't make it to superstardom without rules benefiting his specific skillset.

    Therefore, this isn't like the NFL where I agree the rule changes have specifically benefited QBs and WRs to help the proliferation of the passing game at the detriment of the entire defense.

    That is to protect superstars from getting undercut and landing on some scrub's foot thereby ending their season with a nasty ankle injury. Again, the NFL has done same to protect QBs from late hits especially anything near the knees. Same goes for horse-collar tackles and defenseless WR calls.

    Point being that sport leagues do these things to protect their multi-million dollar investments on the field from senseless injury. Is it fair? Who knows, but all the players qualify for the same protection under the rules. So Harden is the not the only who can master such rules.

    For example, Deshaun Watson has figured how to avoid surefire sacks by keeping his feet moving while knowing; he can't be chopped at the knees by defenders and referees are often late to blow the whistle to stop the play as dead. This puts defenders at a great disadvantage when they have Watson all locked up, but can't bring him down by sweeping his always churning legs. Hence, the birth of Houdini Watson.

    Kobe and LeBron were the face of the NBA throughout their respective careers. Curry has been that recently to degree, but he deflects wearing the crown. In any downturn era without another clear a superstar to play that role, the NBA would be on its knees begging Harden with his "boring" style to takeover that mantle. That's why the league is bending ass backwards right now trying to crown Giannis as the face of the league after LeBron retires.

    To me, watching Giannis shoot 28% from 3PT in the "smoke em if you got em" 3-pointer era is pretty... BORING. Instead, give me that babyface, mouthpiece chewing, smug looking Curry who can at least light it up from three at a 45% rate easily. He's the face of this league if not Harden.

    The rockets got beat against Portland in the playoffs led by who!?!? Harden?!?!

    How many times!?!? And by how many different teams. Warriors knocked em out at least three times. What is the common denominator!?!? Who is the common denominator!?!? Brad Lidge! Or James Harden!?!?

    Harden gets as much respect as Brad Lidge got.

    Only difference is Astros avoided Cardinals and Albert pujols after switching out of the national league and into the American league to deal with Yankees and red Sox!

    .
    Just go to the Portland forums... You continue to mention Portland, but Aldridge was a major contributing factor for Lillard even having a shot that series.

    Lillard is great but putting him above Harden is asinine... If you're going to post nonsense, how about Lillard's wonderful WCFs W/L record?? Last time I checked he didn't do **** against the Warriors... Or win a chip. At least Harden, even going up a historically great Warriors team can make the series interesting. Lillard definitely can't say the same.

    Also this Adidas contract/stat padding talk you mentioned is complete and utter bullshit
