For a guy that is suppose to have a ton of holes in his game, he carried his team a long way.

Exactly. Everyone praised Lebron in the Finals for doing basically the same thing Harden did all season long.

If I did that lower my arms then raise them real quick into a players face like Harden when I was hooping in the mean streets of bmore, I'd have been in 3 fights a day. Good player , and he always gets the call but it is lame as hell.

Harden is a good ballplayer and sometimes he is able to play up to the level of a LeBron or Durant.
- also saw the early nba odds the other day post FA and draft, and OKC was fairly low. Could be some indication that Durant is expected by many to recover.

That's your best comeback? Reminds me of an Andrew Dice Clay reboot. Like when some of my coworkers at my shitty job get mad at the man for reprimanding them and then get mad at me for not joining in their fight for "justice". " No the boss doesn't hate you because , it's because you suck at you're job. " LeBron flopped so that excuses Harden? Plus dude needs to shave that f-ing beard. Nobody wants to get close to him.

I hate flopping. I just found it odd that a guy that has Lebron as his favorite player would rip another guy for flopping. I can't even blame them for doing it. The NBA needs to stop it, otherwise the players will continue.

The regular season is just a placing for the run to the title games which matters approximately 100%. Lots of great players come up small especially in their debut. OKC was favored over Miami and most thought they would win especially after the Dallas final the year before. But Harden and others came up small giving LJ his first title. NOBODY can anticipate how certain players will perform in a nationally televised series Westbrook was heavily blasted one game and praised the next. If they can they should be on a fantasy commercial stating they won a million bucks.
In the finals Kerr basically said Lebron you can score your points but the others aren't beating us. It was absolutely brilliant especially from a rookie coach whose ability I "stupidly" questioned.
I also didn't see everyone praising Lebron lots pointed out how many shots he was taking and his shooting percentage. Even when the Cavaliers were up 2-1 many stuck to their guns staying with GS.

There was a huge clamoring for giving Lebron the series MVP. It cooled the last couple games when he shot poorly. But this was about MVP, which is a regular season award. Maybe the award given by the players is all encompassing, I really don't know. I can't imagine it would be if Curry didn't win it.

A player's award can also be a vote for my friend contest. Just look at the vacation photos of LJ, CP, and I can't even remember the others that's how important it was to me. Again it was taped Sunday for a Wednesday showing the channel knew it wasn't going to produce solid numbers.
Since its a player's award I really would be interested to find out who finished second my gut tells me LJ instead of Curry.
While it doesn't matter my opinion is the NBA has surpassed MLB in off season coverage today is July 25. Say what you want against Adam Silver but at least to me he is looking into the future progressively and keeping NBA talk alive first tipoff
