Max Kellerman does not believe Harden is a top 5 NBA player

He must be a flat earther.

 

Clutchfans ... why take the bait?

 

Westbrook isn't a better player than Harden. He's arguably better at putting up stats. Curry has a case because he's probably the most important player on what's been the best team in the league for the last 3 years. You could take Leonard off the Spurs and they'd still win 55-60 games. He's really good but no way would I take his past production over Harden's.

Lebron
Durant
Harden
Curry
Leonard/Westbrook

That's about the end of the list up to the beginning of the season. AD simply hasn't earned it.

 

you realize that show was meant to get ratings right?
You trust a boxing a guy to talk about the NBA?
Pair him with loud mouth Stephen A Smith?

Not shocked.

 

Skip was more entertaining though.
This is the whole point of this show.

Nobody takes Stephen A Smith seriously , he's just a highly paid hype guy.

 

And the only reason they made it that year was because it was the Kevin Durant injury year, when OKC fell out of the playoffs.

 

Who cares, he does this cause Harden is popular.

You seriously think he's a real analyst?

If an idiot likes Harden, does he become less of an idiot? No.

 

here's my evidence that Stephen A is just saying stuff and not a true analyst



He's just an entertainer. TNT > ESPN.

Kenny and Charles > everybody on ESPN.

 

....really not worth your time. These guys and specifically the role Kellerman is suppose to fill is that of a contrarian. Everything they say is a direct reaction to popular opinion - it has no basis in logic or analysis. He gets paid to either confirm or refute popular opinion. If the popular opinion was Dion Waiters is the next MJ, one of these dummies would vehemently agree and the other would vehemently disagree...but they are both the same dummy. There is no thought process it's just to react in a way that makes people tune in and call someone an idiot out loud. The point of Kellerman's statements is to get you tuning in to the station, watching youtube videos, or commenting and linking to his clips online.

So congrats - every comment in this thread gets a dummy like Kellerman a little richer and ESPN A LOT richer.

 

People have stuff to say about Charles and Kenny, but
did Kellerman or Stephen A play in the NBA?

Barkley is a hall of famer, MVP, and he's more entertaining than Stephen A without the yelling and screaming which is a gimmick to get ratings.

Stephen A Smith is not genuine, He doesn't respect Harden, he respects his job to get ratings by being popular amongst NBA players

Barkley doesn't give a damn about NBA players think of him cause he was one of them
See Stephen A Smith for what he is
an entertainer

 

And I remember Pop had to lose their last game for them to get in. Which led to Spurs' 1st rd exit.

 

Asking a boxing analyst for his opinion that is what we get. He should be asked Canelo, or GGG?!?!?!?

 

I'd ask GGG

 

He's only 2-3 inches taller than KD and LeBron. The later 2 are considered to be top 2 in the world by most people right now. You cannot build a championship team around him, he has won zero playoff game in 5 years.

 

Ludicrous. You associate his team's lack of success with his greatness.

 

You replace him with LeBron and they'd go deep in playoffs right away. That's the difference between good players vs Super stars

 

But haven't you heard? Harden is only good b/c of D'Antonio's system.
