I argue that would make them hate him even more and they'll find all sorts of excuses to diminish his ring. "Why did this loser get rewarded with a title?" "He only won a title because (insert excuses)!" "He's a one hit wonder!"
5 straight years Harden has been in final 2 voting only to have his brilliance on the court muddied by pretentious sportswriters and fan narratives. Vilified beyond belief I don’t even think rings would avert the slander.
Harden has always been a poor sport and sore loser. Not surprised he didn't show up knowing he wouldn't win.
You wouldn't be able to handle a tenth of the organized bullying Harden has to deal with. Shame on you for not sticking up for one of your own.
I guess yeah but even the hate would keep him in the press, keep him in the news, keep him relevant. For years to come.
But why Harden? Why does he get disproportionately hated compared to other stars? Is it racism? Anti-beard agenda? Anti-houdton agenda? Style of play?
Trolling you mean? There is no media here in CF so you question is speculative and incendiary. So don't make seem like this is new topic and not discussed ad nauseum in games that Harden does not produce legendary stats or worse, team loses.
You are just trying to further the Harden bias. You live for this. You are more Harden hater than you are Rockets fan, this known.
Why can't you just answer the question? What do you think is the reason for the media bias against Harden?
Sheeple like you who are clueless about basketball and only like what is familiar or what the masses are regurgitating. That is the reason. Media know shyte and love to push shallow take narratives. Same as you.
Because you're asking a leading question that should be illustrated under the "Confirmation Bias" section of an encyclopedia.
How is asking for the motive for the Harden media bias leading? Leading a question means you paint a narrative from your own bias and ask the question based on the narrative you just painted. That's "leading a question". I'm accepting the narrative that there is a media bias against Harden. That is the narrative of a large portion of the posters here including the poster in respond to. I'm leading with their narrative.
Dude, open your post history. That's the narrative you're leading with and to. 100% of readers here who have any familiarity with your posting history know you have 0 sincere intention with your question, which is why it's fallen on deaf ears.
My post history is irellevent to the question. That is other posters being petty over differences of opinion. My question in itself is valid. So I'll ask you. What do you think is the motive behind the media bias against Harden?
