Harden genuinely seems like a smart guy though and I wonder if he grew the beard not only to have a trademark look, but to put it in the face of america every nite on ESPN that you need to be able to deal with the fact that my beard is big, black and not going anywhere in the near future...no?

the most racist major metro ive ever been in is easily Indianapolis...i think there is a significant faction of NBA viewers that are middle aged(ish) caucasian that can’t stomach him and i cant help but think it is because of the image he portrays as a cocky african american star with an obnoxiously awesome beard that…

yes, even in her ‘blank space’ video you had to wonder who the hell is calling the shots. bizarre visuals that seem to not connect with songs that are very strong in a pop music sense.

+1 ...i want a dadbod like Rob Lowe someday

thanks, hopefully people truly hate him because he wanted a max contract and left the loveable OKC trio of him, Durant and Westbrook and not because they hate seeing a cocky african american stud repping a unique / bold ethnic style

then why don’t people crucify CP3 who is way more theatrical with those same antics?

**i want to be clear that my comment is definitely insane and shocking [via Lars Von Trier techniques]** ...however i feel like Harden’s beard is so powerful on some deep visceral level (not joking) ...when he first grew it out I thought is was magnificent, but then (it seems) that people started to really express…

what is it then...i’ve genuinely wondered why people seem to truly hate him? It seems obvious with a teammate like Dwight Howard who has said and done hate worthy things, but Harden’s hate feels deep and i just chalked it up to general prejudice that is still (obviously) rampant in America

oh sorry nvm then...what is the real reason? im dying to know?!

going to go out on a limb and say the real people that hate Harden are all the white bigots that dont like the fact he is a black superstar that has a beard invoking the (not too long ago) days of slavery? ...i could be wrong, but i doubt it

I had no idea Kraft was a religious man until he went on to quote this verse at the presser:

right there with you...both are gems.

God had a remarkable style, moving in mysterious ways...i just tried to be in his presence as much as possible with his short time here on the courts

i know...its amazing what you can pull when you’re a billionaire

i truly believe everyone should know about God

God Shammgod does not approve of two men fornicating

im betting that Goodell and Kraft hugging would pull a significantly higher rating than the Stanley Cup game 7

(a couch at a party in Manhattan)

they are in heaven looking down with God Shammgod

i want to bring God Shammgod to a whole new generation...
