During the media day, Tyson Chandler says Kobe Bryant told him that James Harden, "Is going to be the next one after me." James Harden and Kobe Bryant to some people are not ball hogger. The coaches wants their elite player to stay aggressive even its their bad shooting night because they're role is not just about scoring. But also to break the defense or to draw another defender which could create opportunity to their teamates. It's acceptable when you lose the game and your Kobe/Harden has 12 field goals made out of 30 attempts and if your superstar has 7 out of 10 of his field goal attempts and still lose the game, that would be unacceptable to some. Up until now, I still consider Harden and Kobe’s game to be more of ball hogging. His teammates are getting paid for their job and they need to touch the ball and score the basket so that their career can still be marketed to other teams when the unthinkable free agency time hits. Anyways, I don’t have the wisdom of Kobe, we didn’t know what is the reason behind Kobe’s statement and admiration to Harden. I just hope Harden lives up to the impression of Kobe, and if not and still not having to win a championship, he’ll be forever be remembered with his traveling violations and ball hogging.
