    Fuck you Kevin I will wiggle as much as I please

  2. lugubrea

    Imagine Harden in Euroleague. What’s the strip club capital of Europe?

  3. jusbolo2

    I think about Melo in 2019. He wiggled his way out the NBA for a year.

    Given the history of the league, I’d say Harden can do as he likes as long as he is able to play at a high level. We have people with far less talent that have done far worse things still in the league today. NBA is not NFL, blackballing people doesn’t work here.

    Carmelo Anthony gave us at least 3 wiggles.

    I watched the league essentially fire Allen Iverson. We’re still a long way from that but he’s not wrong. AI was still a good player but he refused to take a lesser role and the league didn’t fight with him too much

  7. nowhathappenedwas

    Harden was a top 20 player in the league last year by every impact metric. He is not about to be blacklisted.

    This isn’t a washed Boogie failing to get a backup job because of shenanigans.

    True story first time I’ve ever heard the words ‘Infinite wiggles’ in that order.

  9. GunAndAGrin

    KG with his down-to-earth common sense strikes again. Love this dude.

    Harden will be fine, but KGs still correct here. Its stupid to play the same game over and over again. Eventually people get wise and figure out a work-around. Nothings permanent, adjustments need to be made.

  10. AutographedSnorkel

    Harden only cares about one person, and he’s about to enter the find out stage of what happens when you burn too many bridges once his contract is up

  11. LoveIslandFansRawk

    Morey screwed Harden out of $100M… Sucks for Harden that the Sixers got investigated for tampering and that he himself has zero goodwill with fans at this point… but still, he got screwed out of $100M

    Good thing he’s already made $500M (between salary, adidas and sponsors) in his career tho, no big deal

  12. halo364

    I fucking love KG lmao, like no one else would think to say this the way that he did, but it makes perfect sense. Plus “you ain’t got infinite wiggles” is an all-time one-liner 😂

  13. littlespoon22

    There’s meme potential here, right? I know this will not be the last time I hear about wiggles in this sub.

  14. Poopcie

    “Hello Adam, id like to use a wiggle”

  15. vrkhfkb

    Harden to Toronto for Dick.

    It must happen.

    1. Legendary Toronto strip clubs

    2. Masai just resigned Poetl (27), Schroeder (30) and Siakam (29), Annouby (26), and no draft pick this year. He’s evidently trying to compete, Dick is useless for this mission

    >When you wiggle your way out, you only got one or two wiggles. You ain’t got infinite wiggles.

    Could apply to partners too.

  17. LuckyWarrior

    KG with that dead by daylight philosophy

  18. Asheraddo98

    James is overestimating his importance

  19. BabaBrody

    If Harden doesn’t open his own strip club called Infinite Wiggles after retirement…

  20. dromzugg

    I’m going to start printing “you ain’t got infinite wiggles” shirts and coffee mugs.

  21. jurassic_snark-

    you ain’t got no infinite wiggles lmao

    that’s an all timer right there boy

  22. TylurrTheCat

    *”You ain’t got infinite wiggles”*

    Underdog, put that on a t-shirt.

  23. Revenesis

    He’s not good enough for the money he wants, and too proud to take the money he deserves. He opted in knowing that no one else would pay him 30+ mil for this year, but somehow thinks he can get a big long term deal after quitting on the last 3 teams in less than 3 years.

  24. teddytwelvetoes

    if Harden isn’t careful, he may be forced to retire in his mid-30’s with dozens of lifetimes worth of money in the bank

  25. It’s true. Wiggles was a great strip club in NYC, Queens 15 years ago – but they have shuttered their doors and now ironically is a carpet store.

  26. TFTisbetterthanLoL

    Is it really fair to say Harden “wiggled” out of his prior situations? Houston desperately wanted a rebuild. The new owner was not willing to pay luxury tax and was trading everyone around him out anyways.

    As for Brooklyn, what was Harden supposed to do? The franchise was caving into Kyrie and KD missing 100+ games while Harden was being forced to play 40 mpg on a torn hamstring… Has Kyrie played more games as a Net than Harden? Genuine question despite Kyrie playing there for 4 years.

  27. FadeRedditMakeMoney

    Damn that wiggle metaphor is low-key solid
