If you watch Houston's play, sometimes nobody else touches the ball. Ubusin ni Harden time clock. Minsan he would pass it just to get a better position then get the ball back again for the shot. The difference sa ball hog plays nya sa iba, yung tira nya pumapasok plus foul pa!
Si Harden kasi talaga iso player. Yun talaga effective niya. Yun una i dont like it. But yhat is how he is effective. Either drive to basket, kick out or step back. Iba style niya versus the quick release off the pick shooters like reggie miller, curry etc. Hindi siya talaga quick release shooter off the pick.
If houston have a really good shooter, they will be tough to beat. Eric gordon has been bad this season. Paul is so so. Rivers is a great pick up.
Some fans may not like his style, but it is what he is. Malakas body niya and magaling talaga sa drive and contact.
When you look at the bulls championship teams. You also see his team with good shooters like kerr and paxon. Si jordan kasi galing din off the pick, fade away, drive and kick off din to shooters. Dont forget he also gets a lot of calls. Ganun talaga mga superstars. Im not comparing harden to jordan. But styles can be different and you can see how important teamates are sa team. Si pippen din nag dala ng bulls. Jordan was also taking 20 to 30 shots a game. Same with kobe.
