    Kind of, seems like he has gone into Im gonna chuck it every time down the court and like he’d more interested in getting his than winning. He’s been really good but I dont know if I really like it, could be that I dont really like his getting (literally) 20ish ft’s almost everynight.

    I dont think he has too as much as he’s made it clear how selfish he is. He’s set a pattern he said a couple years ago the role players on his team dont matter. He said this year his goal wad to win the MVP, he’s become such a ball hog...

    Shot 19 threes tonight. Went 1/17 a few nights ago. Not impressed. Kobe and Jordan were better scorers. McGrady was pretty good too.

    Yeah I cant deny he’s putting up crazy numbers and their winning sometimes, but he really isnt interested in passing he gets those assists where he’s dribbled for a while and didnt get the look he wanted type of assists, but he has been shooting 35 times a game, and getting 20+ ft’s in many of the games which means he’s actually shooting about 40 times a game. He’s had some abysmal nights from 3, he just seems to be playing a very selfish brand of basketball in my opinion.

    Can't believe that none of Hardens points, from the last 2 games, were assisted shots.

    Holy shit! The Rockets shot attempted 70 3-point shots (shot 32.9%)?!?!?!? Even more sickening is Harden's 23 FTAs and 5 for 19 from 3-point range.

    I just..........wow.

    Yeah I don't buy the narrative that he has to ball hog like this in order to give his team a chance to win.

    Most likely because this is what the centers looked like that Wilt played against?

    Why did you post a picture of Zach Collins from high school?

    Wilt was 7-1 275 lbs, freakishly athletic, had an incredible wingspan. Great Scorer, great at getting rebounds. I think he could've figured out how to be alright in any era...
