James Harden is no longer an elite player or a number one option

We know James Harden actually isn't an elite player in the NBA anymore. He's not a number one option on any team. No, he's just not... James Harden isn't good enough to win a series on his own. He's not even good enough to make a series competitive on home.

Opinion Basketball Medium

Harden's scoring averages and efficiency continued to decline from his Rockets peak in the following years.

Chris Paul is confirmed 'good' at basketball, but he's not 'great' yet

Chris Paul has always been good. In fact, the word good is the perfect word. That's a good word to describe Chris Paul. He's good... He's not great yet. But I mean, he looks unstoppable.

Opinion Basketball Medium Subjective

Chris Paul is widely considered a top point guard of all time, making the 'not great' label a stylistic choice based on championship rings.

I want Chris Paul to fail so I can keep making fun of Ryan Russillo

I really don't want to lose this take. I don't want him to win a championship. Then we can't have this take. That's very fun to throw around and just pretend that it's all about rings... Ryan Russillo has made it to a point where it's like, I want Chris Paul to fail because I know how much it matters to him. And that's really what male friendship is about.

Opinion Basketball Hot

The Suns would eventually lose in Game 7 of this series to the Mavericks, so Big Cat got his wish.

Male friendship is essentially about rooting for your friends' sports teams to fail so you can laugh at them.

If you break down like what male friendship is about, it's essentially like rooting for your other friends to fail. It's not like fail in a terrible, terrible way, like their life ruined, but the thing they love in sports, you want to see it fail so that you can laugh at them. There's no better gift you can give your friends than have that happen to one of your teams.
