Well, every player out there has a hater behind him.Originally Posted by DL2352
Why is everyone bringing up Harden? I can't wait to see this variant John Salmons play underwhelming basketball in the league.
Eventually you'll grow up, and learn that hating on ANY player does nothing, for you, him, or anyone else.
James Harden is the best basketball player I've ever seen in person, I, along with the rest of the crowd the night I saw him were
And that will make or break him, the effort and dedication he gives to the game this year and then on....I mean, his team should have cruised past a tiredSyracuse team - and he was just obsolete the first half

Oh come on. I'm not hating at all. It's just there's nothing about his game that impresses me. He's only about 6'4 (maybe),not super athletic, and plays like he doesn't care. Would he really be in the discussion for being drafted in the top 10, let alone top 5, any other year?I honestly hope that every player I doubt proves me wrong because that would only increase the level of play in the NBA.Originally Posted by Uter Zorker

Well, players that make the game look effortless is exactly what a GM with a high pick in any draft covets - because the talent is clearly there and can bedeveloped/grown into
Harden has all the tools, he can shoot, he can PASS even better than he shoots (pure playmaking ability) but MOST IMPORTANTLY - James Harden gets to the rim atwill. There is only a handful of players in college basketball that can do this, hell maybe only 3, 4...and nobody does it better than Harden. A player gettingto the rim is the one of the most important things in the game of basketball, because it gets fouls and easy, easy points.
Besides Blake, James is the most NBA ready player in the draft.

draftexpress currently has him as the #1 pick for the 2010 mock draft. still too early, but its fair to say this guy is at least top 3 talent. and the firstyear of college is all introductory courses like microeconomics and macroeconomics, you don't learn anything heavy like investment or financial mangementunless you stay 4 years. so really, it's all pointless.

I ain't saying he don't care, but he didn't look like a guy that refused to lose in those last three games of the season...
He looked like 2008 Chase Budinger...

Uhhh... actually they are:
Okkkk, now take out taxes, the money owed to lawyers,agents,managers,family,the boatload of friends they feel as though they have to carry around, stupid purchases, horrible investments, unnecessary cars/houses.... and then see how much money they have.
The numbers you just threw out are meaningless.
Wow, because you know all that... Way to throw some stereotypes out there buddy. A percentage of 46 million (and he's still earning money), isstill a lot more then what most college graduates make. And how are the numbers meaningless?... Or are you only saying that to further prove you have no cluewhat you are talking about.

i wouldn't say they're meaningless considering you're throwing out generalization while he has concrete fact.

Each one of the items I mentioned is a high priced expense. Which example isn't frivolous to the player or to my point?

No, i completely understand what you are trying to say..imo it just doesn't make any sense regarding him jumping straight to the NBA.
Hell, he will do it after one semester of college anyway. What the hell will going to college for a semester do to help him, if he can make millions now?
If he is going to mismanage his money and end up broke, it will not because he didnt attend college, it'll be because, well, he's stupid and issurrounded by the wrong people.
And whos to say even if he does declare, that sometime down the road he won't go to school and get a college degree?(such as Vince Carter, ShaquilleO'neal, countless others)

Well I was never specifically talking about Wall in any of my posts anyways. (I know its the JW post, but I was speaking about one and dones ingeneral.... Yes, a generalization)

Yes, of course theyre generalizations. Since when are generalizations wrong? I might have generalized, but it's not like they were unjustified.
How in the hell are they justified?You just made it seemlike NBA players are some stupid people that have no clue how to handle their money. Yes, there's some examples, but that's how it is for other jobs aswell.
