    Yea but Kobe, MJ earned that right. Harden hasn't fully became a superstar and takes too many possessions off to be yelling at teammates, especially for his screw ups.

    We are a team in the postseason and Harden is a key contributor but NOT the sole reason. Parsons stepped up, Asik stepped up and Lin & P Bev stepped up. People want to give Harden ALL the credit when we win but makes excuses when he falls short

    This team would not be playing in the postseason without Harden, if you think otherwise you are kidding yourself. You remove Harden from this roster, and this team is less talented than the team that finished 9th last year.

    Nah most of the team sucked the past two days, not just Harden. Especially the PHX game, almost the entire team sucked that night but some of you put the entire loss on Harden so you do the same thing.

    The warriors wouldn't make the playoffs without Stephen curry but you don't see him being a complete jerk to his teammates

    A real man keeps the comments work related and stays out of other's personal business unless they are good friends. You are clearly taking out your frustration as a fan on someone's character, which even hasn't proven to objectively have any concrete merit.

    He needs to go. Lin will never be an all star with Harden on the roster.

    Looks like Dwight Howard fused with Elton Brand lol.

    I wouldn't mind Harden rocking the headband (red or mustard, he can pull off both) again though, especially in a series against his old team.

    Dwight gave him an elbow and he tried to sell it. He def needs to stop doing that.

    If the rockets went undefeated I would still not be a fan of hardens character. Concrete merit, what about harden going off on his teammates and coach. It looked like delfino wanted to backhand him.

    No way you make this thread if we win our last 2 games. Everybody else is bashing Harden and you figure its a good time to join the party

    MJ use to borderline fight with teammates...In practice. I don't even want to know what happened during halftimes for him.

    And?

    So what?

    Kobe is a jerk to his teammates and Jordan reportedly fought dudes in the locker room for sucking. Jordan as a GM made Kwame Brown cry...

    Everyone doesn't live to your expectations.

    If you look at my previous posts, I have always stated that harden is a great player.

    Partially agreed. If you remove any of the core 4 players (Lin, Asik, Parsons, Harden) this team isn't going to make the playoffs. Obviously, you plug in equal talents in the respective spots and it will works as well....Dragic/Lin. I think Asik deserves as much credit as Harden for making this team playoff bound.

    Dwight didn't even foul him. DH12 just yanked the ball out of his hands. Harden tried to sell the contact. Sigh.
