If LeBron cant make the playoffs his 1st year in the west, Harden deserves more credit.

    If Steph Curry had to play a whole season at usage rate of Harden he wouldn’t make it to the All-Star game. Curry is a great player but I just don’t see him fitting that criteria.

    If the AD thing doesn't work out, it's possible that LeBron never has a superstar in LA with him.

    The Lakers weren't THAT bad last year. I don't understand how they are essentially the same after adding Lebron without losing any pieces. Obviously chemistry and coach issues but even so...I just don't understand...

    Though like others, I am amused.

    At no point would I prefer that catastrophe of a roster the Lakers built over our current roster.

    We shoot waaaaay too many 3s to have so many bad shooters.

    Everyone buying into the hype of their young roster being talented, when really they are just mediocre talents.

    Cp3 > rondo/ball
    Gordon > Ingram
    Tucker > kuzma
    Capela > mcgee/tyson

    And obviously Harden > Lebron

    He better look how fast Melo dropped off. . . .
    He could suddenly find that he never makes the playoffs again.

    Lol at ESPN asking the Lakers to shut lbj down when his leadership under scrutiny and throwing his teammates under the bus for not performing up to par with his standards. If this was harden or any other superstar, holly ****, they would be chastised and scolded on the daily.

    West is too tough for Lebron, he can make it in east.

    I am glad that everybody can see all that talk about Lebron being the GOAT now we see its was all barn -yard humor. Serves him right to after he dissed H-town I bet he can speak about that on his Barbershop show. Hey maybe they will watch the playoffs with James Harden dominating.

    Lebron's going to go to Europe this summer to get some of that sweet blood doping. Its a lakers tradition.

    45 as in MJ's alternative number. As far as I am concerned Harden is best ever. If you dropped MJ into today's game I doubt he would in the top 10 players. Today's players are stronger, better conditioned, and overall better shooters. They have to be to compete against the longer more athletic players in today's game.

    As further proof, look at the way Harden plays the game. He can drive to the basket like no one I have ever seen. If the refs would call fouls like they should he would be going to the line a minimum of 20 times every game. Instead, some time back they changed the way they officiated him because others were complaining he was going to the foul line too much. In some games, like the first half of the Toronto game last night they swallowed their whistle and let Toronto hack and otherwise beat the crap out of him. On the other hand when KL made a similar drive and if we as much as touched him they would blow their whistle.

    Harden is reffed differently than any other on the planet. It is just a matter of time before they get together and take the step back three away from him. The latest I have been noticing is that they are allowing opposing players to make contact with his shooting arm during his 3 pointers with out calling fouls at least half the time. I have never in my lifetime seen the rules change to stop one individual like they have with Harden. That is a testament to his greatness. It is also a testament to his greatness that when they take one of his moves away he comes up with something else that nobody has had the genius to think of before.

    Hardens not in the best ever conversation Bc he has no chips. Right now he’s in the same boat with the Barkley’s, Allen Iversons, and Steve Nash’s of the world. If we wins a chip then he’s with Dirk/Moses Malone, if he wins 2 he’s easily the 2nd best SG in NBA history.
