James Harden going OFF....

Just dunked on Stifle Tower something fierce...

He is quite vicious when he gets rolling. Thank goodness we have Smart.

Hard to stop a guy that talented who is also allowed to take five steps with no call.

Others can try to do it too.
They just don't have the footwork.

What kind of reasoning is this?

Excuse me, just because you can, it should be allowed despite being against the rules. smh

I agree with RockinRyA... Shaq could push everyone out of the court .... Should he have been allowed to do so ?

I won't use the travelling to lower Harden's ability , he is an unstoppable scorer but a rule is a rule.

All superstars get their calls. It is engraved in the game of this league.
MJ, Kobe, D.Wade, Shaq...
Now its Giannis, just remember the playoffs vs us. He was trampling over Semi until refs finally watched the tape between game 3-4.
But occasionally refs miss things and players with high usage, by the sheer number of possessions they create, get more of these calls. More tries, more calls.
Also, some guys are hard to officiate. Shaq, Lebron come to mind as they are so strong. Nowadays, Embiid is in this category too.

There is nothing hard about noticing a guy hop around the arc.

Plenty others have footwork and don’t do what he does as consistently as he does it. He could be a ballerina, it’s still very obvious to anyone watching him play.

You can justify/support it all you want, doesn’t make it acceptable (to most, apparently).

Oladipo missed 2 foul shots with 9 seconds left and the Pacers up 1. Nance gets the rebound. Hood misses with 2 seconds left and Nance gets a tip in as time expires for the Cavs victory

IT is past tense for us.
I hope he is not for the league.

Really happy the Nets stuck with Kenny Atkinson; a lot of teams would have canned him two seasons ago. The guys always played hard for him, now the team is getting rewarded. They are also starting to draft well. Too bad they didn't keep pick that turned out to be Kuzma.
