  Why are people so incredibly high on him for not having accomplished much of anything? Hes a good player, real good....but ahead of some of those proven stars is pretty much laughable

  Ahead of melo, yes. Ahead of a healthy rose, no. Rose won't be the same this year, I would for sure take harden this year, if rose comes back 100% by next year you probably take him.

  I guess. I mean I'm not saying hes not talented or anything. But the position on a list of NBA players that some have placed him at is kinda shocking to say the least lol

  No, what's shocking is for someone to put Tim Duncan or Joe Johnson or Josh Smith or Rudy Gay ahead of Harden (okay, at this point Josh Smith's game is pretty damn well rounded so maybe exclude him).
  
  When someone says someone is a top 25 player in the NBA they can mean one of 2 things: they have one of the 25 best career resumes/body of work in the league, or they are one of the 25 best basketball players in the league. There is definitely overlap in those 2 defintions, but not complete overlap.
  
  James Harden does not fall into the former category. Anyone who says he doesn't fall in the latter is clearly unaware of how immensely talented he is and needs to watch him play more than just watching highlights (or lowlights).

  You think it's shocking to put Rudy Gay ahead of Harden? Seriously?
  
  Your completely overvaluing him. Harden might make my top 25, but you're being ridiculous.

  I'm going to look at the stats tonight when I get home, but I am pretty sure that hardon have better numbers across the board last year except points when compared to Russell westbrook

  He may, MAY have the tools to be better than Gay. But to this point in their careers Gay has put up better numbers. Ill agree he has the talent to potentially surpass him, but until he does....doesnt really matter
  
  I'll wait for Harden to play an entire season being "The Man" before I'm ready to proclaim him as being top 25 in the league.

  Feltonsanity and Melo going off early. Knicks up 9 but game just started.
• killer_ewok

  

  Melo with 16 points in the 1st quarter. The Heat have scored 17 points. Knicks lead 33-17 after 1.
• Mulva

  

  Kemba Walker is having a good opener. 28 pts in the 3rd. Not that Charlotte has many other scoring options.
• Midstate01

  

  It's so annoying that the in arena announcer announces the score after every basket. I'm pretty sure people can see the score.

  Bobcats leading by 1 with 36 seconds

  Indiana with ball, down 1 and 10 seconds left....Bobcats have 23 game losing streak
  
  Horrible shot by Walker

  Bobcats win!

  You totally confused me with this post. Indiana had the ball but Walker threw up a horrible shot?
  
  As a UConn fan, I love seeing the boys succeed at the next level and I am really hoping that Walker and Thabeet have good years. I think for Thabeet it would be sticking with the Thunder all year. Walker might lead the team in scoring but they will continue to stink.
