I disagree, rather see it happen to Curry.

....The Rockets won 65. Your point?
What does that have to do with the MVP award? Because that's what was being discussed - who deserved to win the MVP last season.

James Harden has made 119 more free throws than field goals in his career.
LeBron James has made 4,578 more field goals than free throws in his career.
Kevin Durant has made 1,949 more field goals than free throws in his career.
Kobe Bryant made 3,341 more field goals than free throws in his career.
Michael Jordan made 4,865 more field goals than free throws in his career.
Absolutely disgusting.

Harden has taken 104 free throws over his last six games.
LeBron took more than 100 free throws in an entire month once last season (March) with us, despite a way higher percentage of LeBron's shot coming around the paint.
Harden is officiated in a way nobody in this league ever has been. Even Jordan didn't get the kind of calls that Harden does, neither does Curry, Durant, Iverson, Bryant, whoever you want.
It's disgusting basketball, and I have no reason why the league/officiating crews are so enamored with James Harden of all people.
I'm going to dig a bit more when I get home tonight, but I can't find any superstar in league history that has made more career free throws than field goals. Hell, I can't find anybody where it is even particularly close.

He has double digit free throw attempts in five straight seasons. Lebron, Curry, Durant and Westbrook have five combined seasons of double digit free throw attempts in 49 seasons. It's so disgusting. There is absolutely no way in hell that Harden gets fouled so much more than all of those guys. 55% of Harden's shots this year are 3s yet he's averaging a career high 12 free throws a game. It's complete bullshit.

Half of his fouls are bogus. Him flailing and flopping all over the place. To me he causes most of the contact.

I don't agree that he's officiated differently. He's just really unorthodox, and impossible to defend with the way he's able to change speeds.
It's certainly not aesthetically pleasing, but his success is not some sort of indictment on officiating or the state of the league. He's an incredible player. He'd still be leading the league in scoring without free throws.

The good thing is, he isnt winning shit, maybe ever. The media wont stop talking about him but it doesnt really matter. He is just a stat whore. Not a winner. I actually avoid watching Rockets games. I have better things to do than watch him shoot 20 fts and slow the game down to a snails pace. Ill pass.

His entire game is based on flopping for fouls. Over the last 4.5 years, LeBron has attempted more than 15 free throws in a game six times in 335 games. Harden has done it 10 times in 45 games this year. Idk why the refs let him get away with it.

That is an amazing stat. Lebron plays like a man and Harden plays like a flailing pussy. Half of Hardens fouls i literally see nobody within 2 ft of him. No contact. People must enjoy it though because his ass is all i hear about right now.

It's so unappealing to watch. He flops and he travels all the time. A lot of times he shoots like shit but still scores a bunch because of free throws. Take the game the other night against Toronto, for example.
9/25 from the field and 2/13 from 3. No way he scored over 30, right? Wrong. 15 free throws, 35 points.
Then there was the game against Orlando on the 13th. 11/32 from the field, 1/17 from 3. But, 16 free throws. 38 points.
The NBA should be ashamed.

Wow, that’s bad. Are they really that desperate?
Warriors are boring.
Lebron is still a bitch
Eastern Conference blows for like the millionth year.
NBA is shitty. I actually think reseeding the entire league during the playoffs could help.
