Harden breaking rules and getting Buckets #1
Lebron breaking rules and getting Buckets #2

It's true. As much as I've craped on Lebron, Harden has stolen his thunder in the travel/flop world. Probably even the off-arm push, too. Shoulder barge? Lebron is still #1.


Harden wins in takedowns too

James harden gets away with a lot. Along with a lot of other superstars unfortunately. In my opinion viewership would be up more if games were called better.

Lebron bullies his way to the basket
Warriors move like a mother fucker on their ball screens for curry
Harden pushes off like no other and draws fouls when he should be getting offensives
Etc etc

Every superstar has their bullshit calls they get. Which bothers me because they're good enough to not need them. Why make their plays less exciting by giving them shit

Basketball for me has become hard to watch because the officiating is so bad. All the refs are clearly scared to call things on the superstars and are being advised not to. Simple things like catching the ball and moving their pivot foot. Call that shit. I never understood why the NBA decided fuck fundamentals just let them do their thing.

So much agreement with this that it almost hurts. I think the NBA desperately needs to clean up the garbage. I've thought about quitting my cable subscription because of poor officiating and policy. I watch Life Below Zero, Raptors games, a few other NBA games, and the NCAA tourney and usually some games just before the tourney. I watch nothing else outside of the occasional talent signing show episode (stahp it, everyone needs a guilty pleasure). Raptors games usually make up the BULK of my tv time for the year outside of NBA playoffs in general. When the refs are so bad that I sometimes feel bad for BOTH teams on the floor, that's when I start to consider just getting away from it.

It's still free shots which is generally a positive possession, especially if your team wants to control pace by slowing the game down.

Not shooting off the dribble. His step backs are clean
