2022 Eastern Conference Semifinals: (2) Boston Celtics vs (3) Milwaukee Bucks - page 187

wins 1 ring now he’s the most dominant player since shaq

Seriously he not even y’all best defender I get he would a little against Gianni’s but their comparing that to the buckle missing points and defense in Middleton C’s fans are something else

It's funny you think it's just the ring that made him the most dominant player since Shaq.

You n1ggas love counting rings but he been the most dominant player since Shaq for at least 3-4 years. Right about his first MVP year.

n1gga he is absolutely our best defender and a better defender than Middleton

4-6 in the finals
Disappeared against the mavs
Got swept by the spurs in 08
Got blew out by the spurs in 2014
Blew a 2-1 against the warriors the first time they played in the finals
Quit on the cavs vs the Celtics the year he left to go to Miami
Missed the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years
Got swept by the warriors in 2018

Let’s just forget all that

we seen lebron run from the last shot plenty of times never seen Ginnis quit or give up

When he choked a 2-0 lead and lost 4 straight against Toronto?
When Miami exposed him in the bubble?

Were you watching basketball when lebron was winning 66 games with mo williams or when dwight howard was playing like wilt chamberlain

you dude’s talk like y’all just started watching basketball

Fam he was bodying Shaq in his prime.

Can we not this morning. Can we like….talk without you saying some First take/undisputed sh1t ? Please ?

Like basketball before Lebron just didn’t exist so the names of some n1ggas just don’t mean sh1t to you new n1ggas and I get that.

But why watch the game if you ain’t gone respeck it ?

Fam.

[see photo]

He got 2 reg sez MVPs and was going against gods at his position.

Your guy is not that guy and that’s ok.

That’s another thing y’all look past. Comp don’t mean sh1t these days.

“Most dominant since Shaq” yeah ? Going up against who ? sh1t at HIS position. Like ? Yo.

Like a little respect for the game and y’all wouldn’t say this sh1t. sh1t would be so easy to understand what to appreciate about some sh1t when you see it. But this hypebeast/hot take culture.

Some of y’all just can’t be moderate with ya takes.

That’s not even comparable, harden not even in the conversation of being a top 25 player no where near close to lebron or Ginnis. After harden last game dude will be remembered like Carmelo, t-Mac or iverson, a great scorer who won nothing

Dog. I talked you down to THIS STATEMENT ?!

Bro.

I backed up everything I said with logic and sense and NO STATS. (Yet again when it comes to basketball conversation in this section)

And this is where you mind goes. That’s weak sh1t.

Why can’t G-Man be great.

And it be left at that ? Why must he be the fu#king most even tho his game doesn’t say it.

Dude a straight hardcore baller who don’t take sh1t.


At no point does he become top 75 to me. See. I’m a supporter of basketball. I can. Acknowledge talent but still assess it without bias. For some reason objectivity is frowned upon and it’s weird.

Dog. Worship his game. I’m not doing it.

Cause nothing about it is worship worthy to me.

Because….


Say your piece. Without stats of course.

That’s not even comparable, harden not even in the conversation of being a top 25 player no where near close to lebron or Ginnis. After harden last game dude will be remembered like Carmelo, t-Mac or iverson, a great scorer who won nothing

and compared to Tim Duncan, that aint really sh1t now is it ?

Unless I gotta compromise, and I try my best not to do that. You lower the bar that way.

2 MVPs, 2 DPOY, 1 Finals MVP.

This is already a stronger list of accomplishments than more than half of the NBA Top 75... so now this ret@rd is saying Tim Duncan, a top 10 player, is the bar?


Simply ret@rded

Seriously he not even y’all best defender I get he would a little against Gianni’s but their comparing that to the buckle missing points and defense in Middleton C’s fans are something else

Not sure if serious? Ginnis is already ahead of harden, so is stepth and KD then u got bron



Then there’s players that’s a toss up like Westbrook, Westbrook probably over harden cause of the triple doubles. You got kyrie who has a ring and came up big in the finals have something harden never did.


And that’s just current players, luka and joker will go down as better players than harden

Name 25 players better than James Harden

Harden went on a scoring run literally only rivaled by the goats and for some reason no one cares.

I don't get it, I just never want any scoring that didn't result in a championship to ever matter again. There's a huge contingent on here that acts like Harden and CP3 with some shooters was supposed to beat the Warriors?!?

That's the one thing I hate here is the shifting of criteria to fit their agenda which is such a feminine move.

I've given up. James Harden had the 7th highest scoring season in NBA HISTORY and these n1ggas act like you dissed their momma when you say he's an all time scorer.

Let them live their delusions.

I'll admit, he's not the greatest elimination game player, he gets frustrated easy but to be fair 99 percent of players fade in elimination games. Even some all time greats.

Yea I think im done with it. Dude said Westbrook and Kyrie better than Harden. Like it don’t even make sense to say. Feel like I’m in the matrix.

Nba sports media so trash it’s sad. Hurry nfl

The skips and Stephen A's shifted the conversation from what actually happens on the court and what can be documented to narratives and stories from sources "to add context ".

Legit Harden averages more points in elimination games than Kobe, Bird, Magic, Duncan and these n1ggas act like he pisses himself as soon as he gets in the playoffs. He's like a point off from averaging as man points as Hakeem in elimination games.

I'll actually go back and do the research because I'm a fu#king nerd and love this sh1t. I spend my days off watching old games,
picking random players and seasons. Most of these dudes just love to gossip because you can quote stats , link them to games and they keep being ignorant unphased!

If you like basketball, you should be able to appreciate someone putting the ball in the basket and still being the main distributor of the offense on level higher than we've seen AI/Kobe/Steph/Wade etc has never done.

Like during an off year during his scoring stretch in Houston he averaged 29 and 8. Next year 29 and 11. Year after that 30 and 9.

Year after that? 36 and 7

Year after that he dropped 34 and 7...


fu#k outta here with a Kyrie or Russ. He's better than a lot of people are willing to admit because it was sh1t on their nostalgia.
