Russell Westbrook Outrivals James Harden In The Clutch

... first game since being left off as a Western Conference All-Star starter, he unloaded 38 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and four steals on the Northwest Division-leading Jazz.

James Harden Has An Even Stronger Mvp Candidacy Than 2 Years Ago

... scaring us, and not in a good way. Charlotte has lost 10 of their last 14 games, starting on New Year’s Eve and quickly snowballing from there. The Hornets were swept on an early five-game January road trip, followed it up with a trio of wins but has since lost three more. Losses against the Warriors and the surging Wizards make sense. Falling to New York on Friday, especially with the Knicks ’ heel turn back to a drama-filled trainwreck and Carmelo Anthony’s 8-of-26 shooting, feels inexcusable for a wanna-be playoff team. Kemba Walker is the Hornets’ first All-Star since 2010, and he showed up with 31 points, 10 rebounds and five assists on Friday. But as Walker rises to his best season yet, the Hornets keep sinking. An upcoming road trip that includes Utah and Golden State isn’t necessarily going to solve that. Friday’s top play. — Rob Perez (@World_Wide_Wob) January 28, 2017. He’s not an All-Star, but Joel Embiid is — how do we say it? — really f*ing good. Here he is with a chase-down block that turned into him dribbling the length of the ...

Is James Harden The Perfect Superstar For The Nba Right Now

... way back to his high school days. "He was a guy who was always pass-first, always concerned about his teammates, to the point of me literally begging him to shoot the ball more," says Scott Pera, who coached Harden at Artesia High School in Los Angeles and again at Arizona State. "He averaged 18 points a game as a junior and senior in high school. He could have averaged 35.". In Pera's view, Harden has always simply done what his team required and what his coaches asked. His scorer's mentality evolved out of necessity, not selfish impulses. "He's at ease now. Him not having to worry about sacrificing his game for Dwight, it's huge.". — MILWAUKEE BUCKS GUARD JASON TERRY. Now along comes D'Antoni, asking Harden to keep scoring like Kobe but pass like Nash. It's going pretty well. "It's always been there," Harden says of his ability to play dual roles. "Just somebody needed to push me more and be more aggressive.".

James Harden Catches Mike D'antoni On The Rebound

... circles. The reaction to him was strong and visceral even by the standards of passionate sports fans. But time and the right situation can rewrite the view of history. Long after D'Antoni's exit from the Knicks , Melo continues to be plagued by drama and an organization with which - for whatever reason - he still remains at odds. And while Kobe is safely in retirement, the Lakers have yet to recover from his final contract and how it stunted not only winning but developing younger players. Mike D'Antoni didn't look like such a genius during his time in L. A. with Kobe Bryant. USATSI. Looking back, it's hard to justify blaming D'Antoni for his struggles with those teams, and those two guys in particular. So we know this: If the season ended now, Harden would get most of the MVP votes and D'Antoni would be a front-runner for Coach of the Year. Each would certainly get my vote, though Russell Westbrook is close in the MVP hunt. But here's a mind bender: Who needs the other more? Is Harden more important to D'Antoni, or the ...
