I think I got her point. She just didn't make it using a good example. James Harden is one of the most fundamentally solid players in the NBA. He can pass and finish with either hand, he is an elite ballhandler, and his footwork is the best in the league. He is also a genius at getting his own teammates wide open shots. If anything, James Harden is a positive role model for a young player. You obviously shouldn't spend hours practicing a step back 3, but that is true of the go-to move for any elite superstar. No young player should be flinging 35' jump shots from the hip like Curry or trying to dunk over everyone like Giannis. You never teach young people that stuff....you teach them to dribble with both hands....like Harden.Beat40 said:
I think the point she was making was that passing and working to get teammates open should be highlighted more as a way to teach young kids. Not a terrible thing.
She moronically used Harden's highlights as way to point that out instead of highlights of, you know, actual passes.
In reality, it just shows the bias against Harden that he's an ISO only player. If she was more in-tune to his actual game, she would have tweeted something differently.
This is why he will not win another MVP, especially if the Bucks are in one of the top 2 spots.
Also, it annoys the crap out of me that she is worried about teaching young people when she can't spell "hilites" correctly. She actually used the same spelling when responding to Jonathan Feigen. I think she might be a bit dumb.
