THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[addict4sneakers]

And he's considered either the 5th or 6th best player in the NBA.

My mom knows who harden is. That beard is a staple of the NBA

 

[pums]

My younger sister only knows of 6 current nba players i asked her this once she gave me

LeBron

Kobe

Westbrook

Harden 

Dion Waiters

Ginobli

 

[awwsome]

How the **** she know Waiters and not KD or Steph?

 

[tomdiginson]

Hence why I said the beard got them mesmerized. That's his thing, his niche.

I bumped into him in New York and talked to him then Ginobli from i think her best friend named her dog Ginobli she probably knows Steph now cause of Riley though

Indeed. Always wondered why he had that beard since its gotta be uncomfortable, but he was smart.

My oldest son (almost 10) and his pals couldn't care any less about Harden. He's not popular with him and the kids I coach. Maybe its an LA thing.

But its still all about Kobe, LBJ and Durant for the kids I deal with. Could throw Curry in there.

The article says he doesn't have a flashy game.. Wth? I feel like he's pretty flashy

He definitely was more flashy this season breaking dudes down off the dribble with step back 3's.

I could see why they say that because sometimes his game is very methodical.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I feel like his step backs, hesitation dribbles, euro steps etc are all pretty fancy. Idk I always thought of dude as exactly flashy. Not fluff by any means either

 

[casper90403]

The average person doesn't see what harden does, like his step back 3, as flashy. These guys make it look too easy

I feel like NBA nerds (majority of this thread) appreciate those things more than the average fan.

Average fan wants more dunks and **** like that.

Casual fans don't notice things like a perfectly executed Euro step. It's all about the crossovers, dunks and 3's.

He's definitely flashy.  However a lot of people downtalk the amount of FTs he takes as not exciting.

Which it's not, but the rest of his game is.

To me, anyone who has his own signature celebration dance/routine is flashy . . . even if it was stolen from Lil B.

My guy Harden with the come up.

Favorite player in the league (Russ being 1B).

"A $200 million offer is huge, considering it represents half of what the brand paid for 11 seasons as the NBA's official uniform supplier."

Flourish Jim flourish.

Harden is low key very marketable. He def has the stand out look. His beard and Mohawk are like troy polamalu hair

Good point. He's already got body armor drink, Taco Bell and been on footlocker commercials
