One observation from watching too much basketball. Kylie Irving is a star. He posted someone up last night, faked right, and did a Shaq jump hook over his left shoulder. What 20 year old PG can do that? In fact, what 30 year old PG can do that?

Cliff Notes version: Harden turns down 54 mil and gets 80 mil.

I guess the Thunder management did what they felt they had to to do, but dang, stepping back from a grab at the ring must be hard for their fans to swallow.
Reading comprehension is not just an ability, it's a choice
James Harden 37 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. Thanks, OKC.
There's no guarantee with prospects, especially in the NBA. Harden might have disappeared in the Finals, but he's a proven player. I cannot believe OKC let him go. I don't know the ins and outs of luxury taxes, contracts and whatever else, but I know they're really overpaying Kendrick Perkins. If anyone was expendable it'd be him...but yeah I don't know how they would go about that. For the best team in the West to let a guy like Harden leave just blows my mind.
And Houston is a lot better with this deal.
Oh and Mike Brown is terrible lol. Princeton offense with the players he has in LA? Just thinking of that should be enough to get fired. That offense is designed for teams with inferior talent to compete, not for a team with Steve Nash, Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant. They're a mess right now.
LMAO MIKE BROWN JUST GOT FIRED Y'ALL
Kobe said, "It's CUT!!"
