    The difference between D'Antonio and McFail-

    Mike D'Antoni's reaction to Kevin McHale saying James Harden is not a leader: "All I can do is talk about my experience, and he's been unbelievably great. Obviously I got Coach of the Year last year because of him and the other 10 guys on the team. He's been great with everything I asked. I asked a lot of him last year. I asked him to be the point guard, I asked him to talk in D, I asked a lot of things and he responded great. We had great chemistry. He's the first one to get them all together in the summer time or take them out during the year to keep the team together. So I didn't see it. He's been great for me."

    I like this version of Harden, if those TNT guys and the media thinks they can keep pushing Harden around think again. Harden is teammates with the players union president.. LOVE IT

    ESPN you have been warned, harden aint a pushover anymore

    I didn't hear James say clown in the tweet. Is there video of it?

    McFail, the comentator thought Harden couldn't play point either.

    Dude is a clown. He's just jawing for laughs and praise.

    McHale asked for it he's been taking these jabs a Harden for awhile now

    Now we wait for his " This new generation is so sensitive " response.

    Harden clapped back and hit McHale with a 2 piece, extra crispy :eek:

    McHale seriously gives me George Karl with Melo vibes...he seems very bitter

    If Pippen was HC of a Jr. Varsity team, down 20 in the 2nd half of elimination, and he trotted out "his rings", then told them the value of "his leadership" during those historic Bulls runs, do you think any of his teenage team captains won't roll their eyes and think:

    ohhh **** it's that "Jordan talk" again... I guess he wants me to leader it up tell the others to play harder because he's too incompetent and a pushover not to make real adjustments.
    Oh yeah, those are "his rings." Just doesn't carry the same cachet in the context of leadership and owning it, which McHale inferred when he said James wasn't a leader and absolved himself of any failings to get him there.

    McHale was a shitty coach and I'm glad he's gone, BUT, as long as Harden keeps having games like games 5 and 6 in the Spurs series last year, he won't shake the narrative about not being a leader. McHale looks extra salty coming out in the media like this and it's not very classy move on his part but Harden is not going to get too many people outside of the Rox fanbase that's going to disagree too much with McHale.

    Go ahead play dumb. Rockets will let their actions do their talking. You will be converted, eventually.
