James Harden says he's the best basketball player alive

[JohnnyMax]

From Scoop Jackson of ESPN.com: (http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11370572/james-harden-confidence-growing-sessions)

Scoop: Bottom line, you are on this team and a lot of players aren’t, but in your mind, who is the best basketball player alive right now?

Harden: Myself.

Scoop: That’s what I was about to say, “including you.” You made that sound like it was an easy answer.

Harden: It is. Myself.

This thread is eerily similar to one posted earlier today.

There was a pic of him from HS without the beard. He was mistaken for a soft butch lesbian WNBA player http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/images/smilies/roll.gif (can't find the pic though)...the beard is a gimmick to overcompensate for his androgynous appearance.

What's he supposed to say? "Uh we are cyborg Spurs... we have no identity... we work for the good of the team... err... Peter Holt... err.. team... err... investors... errr... team"?

He doesn't even believe this himself, he's not even the best player on his team when Howard is engaged.

Every nba player has to think this I guess.

[wanggi]

egocentric freaks.

Troof. But I dont blame him I just wonder if this is Gilbert Arenas 2.0 ... the rise before the fall. Great offensive talent and I saw him even hustling on defense for coach K, which tells me he CAN play defense when he wants. Also that NMcHale is a shitty coach for letting him getting away with blatant obvious coasting on that end ...

[Captivus]

I still like his Fantasy value.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug, it's crazy the things kids will say these days.

not before he breaks all his teammates' legs on team USA like how he got done Paul George, tbh.

Hilarious that this guy failed to mention the best player in the league, Lebron James as one of the best players.

He said hes the best player, Curry is the best shooter, KD is the best scorer, and Davis is the best shot blocker in the NBA.

What about Lebron? He is easily the best player since 2010

:lol I respect Senor big hands

[Seventyniner]

Oh shit, this means he's going to bomb the rest of the league.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

If Durant is the best scorer and Harden is the worst defender in the league, it is actually impossible for him to be the best all around player in the league :lol

This attitude is what got Jack cut

[Silver&Black]

Heard Screamin A. Smith on 1st take say, Harden doesn't take defensive plays off...he takes quarters off. I can't decide who plays better D...Harden or Curry. I'll go with Harden.

[Strange Love]

What's he supposed to say??

[wanggi]

Harden sucked in the playoffs.

Jack wasn't to the Spurs what Harden is to the Rockets. Harden won't be cut.
