Counterpoint: fuck James Harden, he is a cowardly shitbird who plays an incredibly aesthetically disgusting brand of basketball, and a choke artist who has always disappeared in Elimination Games and will forever be known for 0-for-27 and I hope he retires soon.

Warriors Revolution: What if we play basketball based on absurd 3-point shooting and spacing, creating openings with swift ball movement and requiring defenses to guard shots previously thought impossible? We’ll play with a small, quick lineup, that will outpace slower, larger players, making them either lose on…

Alternatively, he gets fouled on purpose, whines endlessly when not fouled, and loses in the playoffs.

That would have been an absurd argument if it was the one anyone actually made! But, alas, it wasn’t. But good job burning that straw man to the ground!
