James Harden

All is not well with the Houston Rockets, who are battling for one of the Western Conference’s final three playoff spots and are staring down a make-or-break offseason. But there’s at least one silver lining. Dwight Howard apparently doesn’t despise James Harden’s existence. As the big man told USA Today‘s Sam Amick: This has led [...]

Everything is totally OK with the Houston Rockets. Just kidding. Aside from being a complete disappointment on the court, vacillating in and out of the Western Conference’s playoff bracket, the Rockets have been dealing with some off-court stuff. Kevin McHale was fired a half-second into the season, and Houston reportedly shopped Howard to anyone who [...]

Interim Kevin McHale’s replacement J.B. Bickerstaff isn’t about to sugarcoat the Houston Rockets’ season. They are a disappointment, a failure, an upside-down mess, and he knows it. He admitted as much Wednesday night, following Houston’s latest letdown against the Portland Trail Blazers, per KPRC-TV’s Adam Wexler (h/t Bleacher Report): "We're broken. It's that simple," #Rockets [...]

The Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder—and every other team in the NBA—have some competition when it comes to free-agent-to-be Kevin Durant. The Houston Rockets want in on the fun, too. It’s long been assumed the Rockets would wedge their way into the Durant sweepstakes. General manager Daryl Morey has a superstar fetish, nearly [...]

Though it might not seem like it, James Harden is having a career year. Not even a full year after switching from Nike to an adidas sneaker endorsement, we are seeing his first Player Exclusive pair release. Thanks to a career-high in points, assists, and rebounding averages, James Harden earned his way into the 2016 [...]

After James Harden made the highly-publicized endorsement switch from Nike to adidas there wasn’t much else heard. Nick DePaula, now of Nice Kicks, had access to three Player Exclusive pairs of the adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 and shared this picture. The 2.5 Primeknit upgrades from the regular Crazylight Boost 2 are clearly seen; but what [...]

“The Beard” has been known to fill up a stat sheet with his elite scoring ability and rebounding ability for a player at his position. He sets up teammates with his penetration and vision (when he wants to pass) and put on a historic performance in the Rockets 123-114 overtime loss to the Pistons last [...]

Golden State Warriors All-Star guard Klay Thompson says he’s the best shooting guard in the NBA today, a drum he’s been beating the last few years, especially since the physical decline of the great Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. When asked about his starting five at each position today, Klay named Curry at [...]

The Dwight Howard experiment in Houston may be nearing its end. A few years ago, his arrival to the Rockets was a huge social media phenomenon, as he chose to take less money to get out of L.A. Only a few years in, he’s reportedly not happy with playing in Harden’s shadow. Frankly, it is [...]

According to Dwight Howard, Dwight Howard isn’t looking to move on from the Houston Rockets. You read that right. Rumors have started to surface that he isn’t entirely happy playing second fiddle to James Harden. This scuttlebutt sounds all too familiar to the hearsay emanating out of Staples Center back in 2012-13, when Howard was [...]
