Hes always had great defense he just eased off it for a while when he joined Houston cause they needed him way more offensively so he sabed his energy to focus on offense.
Damn they had a crazy talented young roster! KD, Russ, Harden, Green, Ibaka, Maynor, Sefolosha and Collison as the vet leader. Had the front office been able to figure out keeping them together like GS has, there could arguably be no GS to speak of!
@Error Report No i will NEVER understnd why KD went to gsw lmao, in all honesty he wouldnt get the hate he got if he went to literally any other team in the league, it's the fact that he went to the team that beat them that he's hated
Living in Oklahoma City during that time was absolutely THE BEST! the whole entire state came together, and everyone was expected us to win the championship eventually 😭😭😭 God I miss those days
I remember watching these games... KD, Westbrook, and Harden were so young. I was an young adult also, now I look back I see them as kids.. crazy how time flies.

OKC ownership set it up by trading Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis after landing Durant so that fans would lose interest then they could blame Seattle to facilitate their theft of the Sonics while tanking. That led to Westbrook and Harden picks, it’s only justice that they didn’t get a chip and they all left!
Those thunder home games were surreal back then. Felt like your team was bound to lose anytime they went to OKC. Remember they used to stand until the Thunder scored their first bucket

Right? Three humble guys coming from humble beginnings and worked their way up. And in a small market team?? I wouldve rooted for em too. I dont like anyone on the warriors apart from KD and Dray. Curry was a rich kid who had a nba fsther to help him. And so was Klay. Man i miss these days. Glad kd and dray have become stars.
Chirayu Desai generally KD is regarded as the weakest superstar in history. Obviously he’s an elite talent, but his move to golden state and more importantly what that says about his competitive drive is what causes that disdain.
They would have won like 4 or 5 championships with harden defending like a god Westbrook sharing the ball around and Kevin Durante knocking it down when he needs to

As much I loved watching the 3 of them perform individually, watching this kinda makes me wish that none of them ever won an MVP and just stayed together. Harden and Russ were just so hungry and aggressive as young bucks in the league. Seeing Russ pass up an open 3 to get a midrange and harden ripping the ball like a DPOY, I mean the 3 of them were just made for one another. If the Beard was unleashed just a year or 2 earlier I don't think any defense could've stopped them at that time
Looking back in hindsight it was self-evident truth that it was nothing but pride that split the big 3 in OKC:at this stage they knew it was the Kevin Durant show and both Harden and Westbrook accepted and embraced their status as complimentary players the sky was the limit for that formula.....but that only lasted so long, as son as that talent was developed in Westbrook and Harden that pride blow up too.
man, if only they never traded James Harden, OKC could've been the next West Powerhouse, but Harden wouldn't never unlocked his mad true potential he started in Houston
This is unreal. Russ and kd sharing the ball. Harden ripping pockets like kawhi.

As much I loved watching the 3 of them perform individually, watching this kinda makes me wish that none of them ever won an MVP and just stayed together. Harden and Russ were just so hungry and aggressive as young bucks in the league. Seeing Russ pass up an open 3 to get a midrange and harden ripping the ball like a DPOY, I mean the 3 of them were just made for one another. If the Beard was unleashed just a year or 2 earlier I don't think any defense could've stopped them at that time
This series made me love basketball. This series made OKC my number 2 team for the rest of my life
Who's seeing this on their recommended after seeing the james harden to brooklyn rumors?
Looking back in hindsight it was self-evident truth that it was nothing but pride that split the big 3 in OKC:at this stage they knew it was the Kevin Durant show and both Harden and Westbrook accepted and embraced their status as complimentary players the sky was the limit for that formula.....but that only lasted so long, as son as that talent was developed in Westbrook and Harden that pride blow up too.
Miss my boys :’(
Imagine this trio in okc reunite this regular season
Harden- from baby beard to daddy beard!!!
Pure talent, all 3 of them 2-3 years away from their peak
Durant took that armband off and said alright that’s cap😂😂
