    I really wish Nick Wright had a podcast.

    Hes easily the most informed TV analyst IMO and actually watches the game and does the homework.

    Harden and Chris humiliated the Clippers. James makes it look so easy. The haters can't believe what is happening to them. That's why they come up with these pathetic comments. If he was on their own team, he would be a hero. I wish Nick Wright would have said Harden made 10 assists in addition to 50 points, in the win over the Kings. Kobe never did that.
    Go Harden! Go Rockets!

    This.

    This is the difference between the free throws everyone else shoots vs. the ones harden shoots. It has nothing to do with the total.

    People feel Harden is "cheating" his way to get the fouls drawn..while lebron/giannis are powering their way to the basket and there are obvious hacks/bumps.

    Exactly. Jordan averaged 9 FTA with Chicago Bulls to Harden's 8.5 FTA in his career so far.

    I think he lost a lot of credibility, at least for me, when he came out and said Lebron is the GOAT.

    Obviously, it's his opinion, and everyone can have their own top-10 or whatever.

    But to come out and argue that LBJ was better than MJ, you can't just read me his physical stats and wow me. You need to show me his execution on the court.

    Sure, but then he cant get away with calling Harden a cheater/cheating the game. Just bc he's too unskilled to understand greatness, he shouldnt be talking sht.

    It's not really a bad debate or stance. I understand history, and society has pushed MJ our entire lifes but it's not a bad argument.

    I'm pretty sure Morey is on record as saying LeBron is the GOAT

    He’s so good and makes it look so easy it must be cheating.... Lol

    They had a lot of valid points supporting Harden.

    I like how they called out the announcer as a mediocre nba player.

    I believe it's gaming.....Counter Strike specifically. I could be way wrong on that though.

    This actually makes me even more mad than when I first heard it.

    Wright's right - it's such a horrific insult from MacLean that it makes him worthy of a meeting in Temecula.

    "Cheat the Game"? Cheat the Game? As in deprive the game? of Basketball? of NBA Basketball?

    James Harden is a ****ing GIFT to the game, he gives all he has to the game, he has devoted his entire life to playing the game, and he has done things in teh game taht no human being in history has, and will revolutionize the way the league plays for generations. He has been rewarded for this with fortune and fame, obviously, but in no way is this an unequal bargain. Harden has worked and worked and worked for over half of his adult life, he plays through pain, he lifts weights at midnight, he grinds out 57 points on the second half of a back to back. Cheat the game?

    CHEAT THE GAME? Don McLean, whose most notable NBA achievement was getting laughed at on inside the NBA for being both too scrawny and suspended for steroids - he has the ****ing gall to accuse James Edward Harden Jr of "cheating the game" - the same game that harden plays day in, day out, regardless of how beat up he is or how tired he is, at the highest possible levels of any human being in history?

    It's disgraceful. MacLean should issue a public apology, for real.

    I figured it was PC gaming, didn't know if it was something specific game wise or just a broad doc on gaming period.

    That kids deserves to be b**** slapped just like Cuban.
