[Bontemps] “…people expect me to be the scoring James Harden and the James Harden that goes out there and gets 40, 50 points… then people talk: ‘Oh, you can’t win like that. Then I’ll go out there and get 20pts and 11ast. And it’s like, ‘Well, he’s not the old James Harden no more.’” -James Harden

    Sometimes I wonder how much more accolades Harden would have if he had an agent.

    How many people were arguing Jrue was better than him until the playoffs

    “Well, he’s not the old James Harden no more, Jaws all on the floor like Pam and Tommy just burst in the door
    And started whooping Al’s ass worse than before”

    Sums up the James Harden media narrative. I am not a big fan of James Harden as a player but he has not been treated well in the media

  7. Curious_Success_377

    James Harden needs a PR manager like Russell Westbrook.

    Tonight he can say whatever he wants. This result is incredible.

  12. dys0n_giddey

    Oh shit he’s been waiting to say this for awhile I think

  13. allen_antetokounmpo

    The disrespect harden get this season is wild

  14. Hocapoca

    James Harden doesn’t do what James Harden does for James Harden. James Harden does what James Harden does because James Harden is James Harden!

  15. Panik_Switch

    Anyone else wanna see harden try both at the same time??

  18. unclehelpful

    I love Harden, the fact that he can be both on demand when most players can’t be either is really underrated.

  19. we_hella_believe

    It’s weird how everyone just assumed he was washed because he was deferring and being a good teammate.

    Honestly Harden doesn’t get nearly as much hype/love as he should.

    Like, the dude was already a top, all-time great scorer. One of the best ever at getting buckets (I’ve seen Bird/Magic end of careers, MJ, Shaq, AI, Kobe, etc)….and then one day out the blue he was just like “fuck it, I think I’ll just be the best playmaker in the league and rack up assists” and he actually did it.

    It’s just been weird that he pulled that off and no one really talks about it. Like what if JJJ went on a Mutumbo like run where he’s just racking up DPOY’s and blocks…then one day out the blue he decides to be a 45% 3pt shooter…this sub would lose it’s mind, but we just kinda gloss over Harden’s accomplishments.

    – James Harden

    – Tim Bontemps

  23. CNDOTAFAN

    Come on, you are supposed to average 40 and 15…do we really have to tell you that?

  24. Ok-Western-9058

    The facial hair becoming self-aware

    “James Harden? James Harden!” – James Harden

    We want the old Kanye. Straight from the soul Kanye

  28. weedysexdragon

    James Harden says it’s hard for James Harden to be James Harden.

  30. youngbibzy

    Still the best playmaker in the league

  31. FuckFashMods

    As time goes on, taking the KD warriors to 7 games is an amazing accomplishment

  32. killbejay

    If the Sixers win this year. Would Harden rank higher than KD in people eyes?

  33. CriticallyThougt

    He said his Achilles finally feels better before round 2 started. First time he’s probably been close to 100% in a while.

  34. YuumiPlayersAreScum

    People think assists are just some random ass stat everyone can get, like lol just pass the ball to someone who scores, easy!

  35. Scary-Ant-3796

    The man is speaking facts. He didn’t suddenly forget how to play basketball. He’s trying to learn a different style.
