Harden gets a lot of hate, but his popularity has been rising in recent years...he’s 1 of the most popular players in the NBA while also being 1 of the most hated this past year he was 9th in jersey sales and 7th in All-Star voting only behind Bron, Steph, KD, Curry, Giannis, and Kyrie...he got more votes than Westbrook for the 2nd straight year even tho Russ is seen as such an exciting player he’s the face of Adidas, he’s doing tours in China, doing Mission Impossible ads, and he just won MVP people overlook all the love Harden gets and just focus on the hate
