    It always amazed me how Harden get’s tarnished for taking the same team that swept LeBron(excuses because they got KD) to 6/7 games series🌝

    The rockets look good right now. A solid backcourt. James harden was the only back court. Now they got two players in the back court that can work together.

    I am a Sixers fan and I am glad we did not trade for James Harden, the Rockets wanted a haul, they wanted Ben Simmons  I am glad they did not get him , Sixers lets ride with our own guys 🏀

    I do not know if Harden is better than Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady to say he is the second best player in franchise history. Maybe McGrady was not in Houston long enough but Yao Ming was single handedly carrying Houston and when McGrady join with Ming only an injury stop their show from going a long way.

    How is his legacy complicated? Basketball media is so dumb. He was there for nine years, won an MVP (arguably deserved another 1-2), took them to playoffs multiple times, yes he never won a ring but he also never had a super team, averaged 29.6/7.7/6, made all star game every year. This current NBA media that is so obsessed with narrative and legacy need to go away and make way for people who actually like and watch and care about basketball.

      They literally have a video where JayWill says “meet the NBAs newest badguy” earlier about Harden

    If Warren Moon was a white QB he would be much more respected in Houston sports history, and across the country.

    Y’all sleeping on Moses Malone, the 2nd greatest Rocket of all time. Harden is definitely in 3rd place.

    No other superstar wanted to play with him, it was clear to see, he never learnt to play with the stars given to him

    Robert is on crack, Tillman might have a bitter taste in his mouth from this divorce, but everyone and their mother knows that Harden left a lasting impact in Houston. Yes, he never won the big games, but individually, only Kobe, Jordan, and Wilt can touch his offensive greatness that he showed us for 8 years in Houston. His jersey is getting retired in Houston, there’s no if

    Oh, look another Ryan Hollins take by Robert Horry. I don’t like James Harden. Don’t like his style play. Don’t like he was given every teammate but went nowhere with any of them. With that being said, what Richard Jefferson said. 100%. It ain’t “complicated”.

    i can see the Rockets using those Brooklyn picks to get someone
    Houston in recent history havent really been known to rebuild through the draft other than Yao
