<p>As soon as <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kobe-bryant-t127173" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kobe Bryant</strong></a> passed away, fans, the media, and even some NBA players started a campaign to make him the new <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>logo, replacing<strong> Jerry West</strong>. The problem is that the league has never admitted that West is in fact the logo, most likely to avoid paying him for the rights of his silhouette.</p>
<p>And, now that we went through the one-year anniversary of Kobe’s memorial at the STAPLES Center, the campaign is back on track, with <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kyrie-irving-t159843" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kyrie Irving</strong></a> posting<strong> a slightly controversial statement on the matter.</strong></p>
<p>According to Kyrie, the league should change the logo to Kobe Bryant because<em><strong> ‘Black Kings built the league’.</strong></em> While no one can deny his statement, making Kobe’s legacy about race shouldn’t be the way to go.</p>

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kyrie-irving-t159843" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kyrie Irving</strong></a> is not only paying homage to <strong>Kobe Bryant</strong> on the court but he also wants the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> to give more love to the Black Mamba, as he recently claimed on his Instagram account. The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a> star doesn’t forget about his mentor and he’s ready to keep carrying his legacy.</p>
<p>Moreover, the 29-year-old wants the league to do more to remember the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a> icon, giving him the maximum honor any player could receive from the association. KB24 meant a lot to Ky and all the players of his generation and his new proposal celebrates that.</p>
<p>The 2016 NBA champion took to Instagram to ask the league to replace Jerry West, another Lakers legend, with Kobe Bryant as the logo of the NBA. This was something proposed last year but the commissioner made it clear that they aren’t planning to do any changes to the logo right now.</p>

<h2>Kyrie Irving urges NBA to make Kobe Bryant the new logo of the league</h2>
<p>“Gotta Happen, idc what anyone says,” Irving wrote. “BLACK KINGS BUILT THE LEAGUE.” Knowing the good relationship there was between Kobe and Irving, it’s not a shock that the point guard wants to see this, especially knowing how impactful Bryant was in his career.</p>

<h2>Will the NBA make a change of logo in 2021?</h2>
<p>Last year, NBA commissioner Adam Silver revealed that even though Kobe was great for everybody who saw him play and met him, the league isn’t planning to make him the new logo of the competition. He said there have been so many great players in the league who could also be good to become the new logo and that would be unfair for them.</p>
<p>They did name the All-Star MVP trophy after Kobe, who won that honor a record four times. The Black Mamba won’t ever be forgotten and perhaps in a couple of years, Kyrie and NBA fans will see their wish granted.</p>

<p>Not so long ago, <strong>DeMarcus Cousins </strong>was one of the best and most dominant big men in the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>.</strong> His physicality, offensive skills, strength, and athleticism; made him a nightly double-double threat and one ofthe most intimidating guys in the league. Sadly for him, he’s had to endure many career-threatening injuries over the past 2 or 3 years, and while he’s looked great as of late with the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> Houston Rockets</strong></a>, it seems like he will never go back to the All-Star level he had during his time with the <strong>Sacramento Kings and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-orleans-pelicans-t100705" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Pelicans.</a></strong></p>

<p>That doesn’t mean that <em>‘Boogie’</em> can’t be a valuable asset for a contending team. If anything, multiple franchises should be following his situation quite closely, as he’s reportedly ready to <strong>move on from the struggling Rockets </strong>as he looks to play for a championship contender.</p>
<p>So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at the<strong> 4 NBA teams</strong> that could be a realistic destination for the Kentucky product, taking into account not only the money they could offer and how well they’ve fared this season but also the role he’d play.</p>
<h2>The Most Realistic Destinations For DeMarcus Cousins</h2>
<h2>4. New York Knicks</h2>
<p>The <strong>New York Knicks</strong> aren’t exactly championship contenders right now but they’ve made great strides this season. They look like a playoff team and the addition of a veteran like Derrick Rose makes us think that they’re ready to go all-in right now. Also, coach Tom Thibodeau has given them an identity as a tough, physical team.</p>
<p>The Knicks are expected to be withoutcenter Mitchell Robinson for at least 6 weeks and Cousins would slide right into the starting lineup. Moreover, there’s no better place to shine than the<strong> Madison Square Garden,</strong> and leading the Knicks to the playoffs will certainly impress teams ahead of free agency if he’s looking to cash in on another big contract.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-22">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>3. Brooklyn Nets</h2>
<p>This one’s a bit of a no-brainer. The James Harden trade took away most of the<strong> Brooklyn Nets’</strong> depth and it’s clear that DeAndre Jordan no longer has what it takes to be a starting center in the NBA. In fact, he’s even lost his job to 6’8” Jeff Green, who’s not exactly what you’d call an interior presence.</p>
<p>While Cousins isn’t exactly a rim protector or top-tier defender, he’d be an upgrade for the already intimidating Nets. Moreover, they would become an even more overpowered offensive juggernaut. They’re already the team to beat out of the <strong>Eastern Conference</strong> and adding Boogie would solidify that status.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/02/19/noticia_0010.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-36">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>2. Los Angeles Clippers</h2>
<p>The <strong>Los Angeles Clippers </strong>are a much-improved team from last season but they’re still lacking some size. They lost Montrezl Harrell to the Los Angeles Lakers and have yet to find a bench player that could fill in that instant-offense role. Also, Cousins would give them that grit and hustle on both ends of the glass.</p>
<p>The Clippers look poised to put an end to their title drought this season and a Big 3 of <strong>Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and DeMarcus Cousins</strong> is just a mouth-watering idea for Steve Ballmer. While he wouldn’t be a starter over Ivica Zubac, he’d likely play more minutes and closegames over the Croatian.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/02/18/noticia_0005.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-71">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>1. Los Angeles Lakers</h2>
<p>And last, but not least, the <strong>Los Angeles Lakers </strong>would be the obvious choice for DeMarcus Cousins. He established a strong rapport with the team last season, they need an improvement over Marc Gasol, and they’d give him the biggest shot to finally win an NBA championship.</p>
<p>Cousins and Anthony Davis are close friends and he’s also had a lot of praise for LeBron James over the past couple of seasons. Davis will be out for some time and the Lakers need a guy who can carry the load in the paint, so he’d become a starter right away. Also, when Davis comes back, we’ve already seen what they’re capable of doing together <strong>from their time with the Pelicans.</strong></p>

<p>The Nets made a fool out of the Lakers from start to finish. They dominated the game almost at will, with LeBron James single-handedly carrying the offensive load for the purple and gold without <strong>Anthony Davis.</strong></p>
<p>Brooklyn went back home with a 21-point win even without Kevin Durant, but perhaps the most remarkable thing about the game was the way Kyrie Irving made fun of LeBron after missing a technical free-throw.</p>

<h2>Kyrie Irving Mocks LeBron James</h2>
<p>LeBron James has never been an elite shooter from the charity stripe so it wasn’t odd to see him miss badly. Kyrie, however, couldn’t hide his excitement about watching his former teammate struggle, asking<em><strong>“That’s your best free throw shooter?”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Kyrie Irving Warns The Lakers</h2>
<p>Kyrie Irving’s trash-talking didn’t end there. After the game, the former Boston Celtics’ flop claimed that they’ll<em><strong> “see the Lakers down the line”</strong></em>, assuming that they will meet again at full strength in the NBA Finals.</p>

<p>Hopefully, should that happen, both teams<strong> will be healthy enough </strong>to put on a show and a series that goes seven games. Without Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Lakers just don’t stand a chance to beat them,and Kevin Durant is the Nets’ best player.</p>

<h2>Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Nets: Storylines</h2>
<p>The reigning champions have had to endure a tough couple of weeks. They struggled to get by vs. subpar teams and will now be forced to play without Anthony Davis for the next two or three weeks. Then again, LeBron James continues his <strong>MVP-caliber season</strong> and proving that he’s still one of the best players in the world.</p>
<p>The Brooklyn Nets just got a lot better with the addition of defensive specialist<strong>Andre Roberson</strong>a couple of days ago. Now, they’re only missing another rim protector and they’ll be perhaps the most overpowered team in NBA history.Nonetheless, they still have to prove that they can coexist.</p>

LeBron and the Lakers take on the overpowered Nets

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/james-harden-t120183" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>James Harden</strong></a> is part of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a> after spending the last eight seasons with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets</strong></a>, where he blossomed into the big star he is right now and one of the most talented scorers in the game.</p>
<p>The Beard is on a team that can actually compete for the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> championship, sharing touches with <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kyrie-irving-t159843" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyrie Irving</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kevin-durant-t139314" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Durant</a>, a huge upgrade from his teammates in Houston and the player can’t be happier about it.</p>
<p>The 2018 NBA MVP recently explained why he feels very comfortable in Brooklyn after his trade, revealing how easier things are right now that he has two elite scorers by his side. The Nets’ defense still needs to improve but on the offensive end, Harden couldn’t ask for more.</p>

<h2>James Harden says he’s happy to not have to score 40 points every night</h2>
<p>The shooting guard recently talked with ESPN’s Rachel Nichols, where he talked about a variety of topics, including his last days in Houston, how high his expectations are for this season, and more. Harden explained that playing alongside Irving and Durant has made his life easier, as he doesn’t have to score 40 points every night to take his team to the victory.</p>
<p><em>“The situation that I was with in Houston, consistently, in every single night, having to get 40 points to give ourselves a chance to win for a long extended years, is draining,” Harden told Nichols.</em></p>
<p><em>“So, just to have a skill set of guys where you can be a playmaker, you can get guys involved and not have to necessarily worry about scoring each possession. It’s a little bit relieving to me.”</em></p>

<p>After landing in Brooklyn, Harden has taken a different role and he’s more of a facilitator rather than a scorer now. That has worked for the Nets but as stated before, they have work to do on defense if they want to actually compete for the NBA championship.</p>

Brooklyn Nets vs Golden State Warriors: Predictions, odds, and how to watch the 2020/21 NBA season - Bolavip US

Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors meet on Saturday

<p>It’s getting more common to see <strong>All-Stars</strong> teaming up to try and win an <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> championship.</strong> Back in the day, you could never imagine <strong>Michael Jordan and John Stockton </strong>playing together to dominate the rest of the league, as the best players were also the fiercest competitors. Over the past decade or so, that trend has drastically changed. Now, players don’t get called out for joining fellow superstars and there isn’t a betterexample of that than the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> featuring Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/james-harden-t120183" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Harden</a>.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-35">    <span class="item first"></span>  <span class="item second"></span>  <span class="item third"></span> </div>
<p></p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to win a ring or wanting to play with the c<strong>reme of the crop. </strong>I, personally, enjoy witnessing greatness unfold and the best players on earth on the same hardwood.</p>
<p>But other players don’t feel that way.<strong> Damian Lillard, </strong>for instance, is quite unfazed by these modern superteams, and recently claimed that he would never do what the Brooklyn Nets’ stars are doing.</p>
<h2>Damian Lillard Throws Shade At The Brooklyn Nets And Superteams</h2>
<p><em>“It’s forcing dudes to be like well, I’m going to go play with this person or if I get with this person. <strong>But to me, like, if that’s what they want to do, I don’t got no problem with it, it’s whatever… But for me personally, that’s just not something I can do. </strong>I’d rather go out there and put my best foot forward and lose before I do that, because I know I can win if I do that,”</em> Lillard told<strong>Lindsey Wisniewski of NBC Sports.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div id="relatedNews-98">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Then again, we’ve heard this speech before. Then, desperation hits, and the players force their way out of their teams to team up with other stars and pursue a championship<strong> before they retire.</strong></p>
<p>For now, it doesn’t seem like Lillard is looking forward to ending his career in a different place than Portland, and he’ll try to establish his legacy by being the guy <strong>who took down all the superteams on his own.</strong></p>

<p>Despite having lost the last three games, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/james-harden-t120183" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>James Harden</strong></a> is having a very good time with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a>, posting interesting numbers on a daily basis, helping his squad to become a real threat (on the offensive end) in the <strong>2020/21 <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> season</strong>.</p>
<p>The Beard landed in Brooklyn in a blockbuster 4-team trade almost one month ago and things have gone well for them but the fans still feel the New Yorkers need to step up and become the big team they’re expected to be this campaign.</p>
<p>Harden is one of those trying to push the rest of the team to be better, alongside Kyrie Irving and he recently was heated with one teammate as the Nets trailed the Detroit Pistons early in the 1st quarter of Tuesday’s game.</p>

James Harden was caught arguing with teammate during Nets' last game

James Harden was caught arguing with teammate during Nets' last game - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a> have been the team to watch for most of the season. <strong>Kevin Durant </strong>came back even better than ever,<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kyrie-irving-t159843" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kyrie-irving-t159843" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyrie Irving</a> </strong>stole the headlines for his two-week break from the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a>, and then trading for <strong>James Harden</strong> made them even more of a reality show. But when it comes to basketball, it’s pretty clear that they’re still a work in progress and will take some time before they fulfill their true potential. It’s either that or they’ll have to question whether <strong>Steve Nash</strong> is the right guy for the coaching job or not.</p>

<p>When you have three of the best scorers to ever list on your roster, you have to get some stoppers around them. They can bail you out a couple of times, but you’re not going to win an NBA championship<strong> unless you play some defense.</strong></p>
<p>That’s why the Nets are getting exposed night in and night out, especially by subpar teams that should be getting blown out. It happened again vs. the<strong> Detroit Pistons</strong> last night, and it seems like Kyrie isn’t having it anymore.</p>

Angry Kyrie Irving blasts referees and issues strong warning to the rest of the NBA

Angry Kyrie Irving blasts referees and issues strong warning to the rest of the NBA - Bolavip US

<p>The<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a></strong> are the team everybody’s talking about right now. It seems like everywhere we turn in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA, </strong></a>someone has a take about their unprecedented <em>Big 3</em> featuring<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/james-harden-t120183" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Harden</a>,<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kevin-durant-t139314" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Kevin Durant,</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kyrie-irving-t159843" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyrie Irving</a>.</strong> I mean, it’s not hard to get why, as no other team in NBA history has<strong> </strong>had three superstars of that caliber all in their prime, not even the 2016-17 <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong>. Needless to say, it’s championship-or-bust for the Nets after all the moves they’ve made, and they know it.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-98">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>Some teams crumble under pressure, some thrive, and the same goes for the players. Then again, when you put together <strong>this kind of talent,</strong> you gotta believe that they’ll figure it out rather sooner than later.</p>
<p>That’s just one of the reasons why people are backing up the Brooklyn Nets to hit the ground runningin the Eastern Conference, and today, we’ll let you know the 5 reasons why <strong>they could even win the whole thing this season.</strong></p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-76">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>5 Reasons Why The Brooklyn Nets Will Win The NBA Championship</h2>
<h2>Talent</h2>
<p>This is pretty self-explanatory but we’ll dig a little deeper into it. I mean, they have <strong>3 of the10 greatest offensive talents</strong> to ever bounce a basketball. Even out of pure talent and will, you gotta believe that they have what it takes to thrive together. We’re talking about Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden after all.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/12/18/noticia_0018.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-100">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>It’s Time</h2>
<p>Despite being one of the best teams<strong> in the defunct ABA,</strong> the Brooklyn (New Jersey) Nets haven’t been able to replicate that success in the NBA. Their first-ever NBA Championship is long overdue and they know it, meaning that they’ll be as aggressive as they need to make more moves and win the ring once and for all.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/12/30/noticia_0001.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-49">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>Easier Conference</h2>
<p>It’s not a secret that the Eastern Conference isn’t nearly half as tough as the Western Conference. The<strong> Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, and Philadelphia 76ers</strong> have all pretty good teams and have been playing great as of late, but they have a history of underperforming in the playoffs.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/07/30/noticia_0001.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-22">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>Time</h2>
<p>We’ve given them a hard time for their terrible performances in the defensive end of the floor but in reality, they’re just getting started. It’s only a matter of time before they get on the same page, and the Nets have already added a great defender in<strong> Iman Shumpert,</strong> plus they’re expected to trade for or sign a rim protector. They’ll get there.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/07/01/noticia_0001.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-63">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>Legacy</h2>
<p>This is perhaps the most important reason of all. We have three all-time greats whose legacy could be on the line here. Kyrie Irving hasn’t been able to win or lead without<strong> LeBron James.</strong> Kevin Durant left a dynasty to create one of his own, and James Harden has been a no-show in the playoffs more often than not. They know <strong>this season will be legacy-defining</strong>, especially if they fall short.</p>

<p>To say that this <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> season has been quite crazy could be an understatement. In fact, the players, teams, staff, and every single person involved in professional basketball would argue that they shouldn’t have rushed back to play after such a short offseason, especially considering that the pandemic is far from over. At least, I’m pretty sure that<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> star <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kevin-durant-t139314" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Durant </a>would agree with that statement.</strong></p>

<p>Durant has found out firsthand what <strong>Covid-19 </strong>looks like. He got it several months ago, made a full recovery, and then was forced to sit out several games again due to contact tracing. Then, last night, out of the blue and all of a sudden, he was pulled out again.</p>
<p>The league didn’t allow Durant to start the game vs. the<strong> Toronto Raptors </strong>due to health and safety protocols. He could come off the bench, though, just to be pulled out from it before the start of the second half due to an inconclusive test from a person he was in contact with. Yeah, that <strong>doesn’t make sense at all.</strong></p>
<h2>Kevin Durant Asks To Be Freed, Calls Out The NBA</h2>
<p>Unsurprisingly, given his often outspoken and controversial nature, Durant didn’t take that incident lightly this time. In fact, he asked to be ‘freed’ and then put the world no notice by calling out the league and their<strong><em>‘wack PR tactics’.</em></strong></p>

<p>In all honesty, this just doesn’t make sense at all. I mean, how could he play an<strong>d put other players at risk</strong> – assuming he should, indeed, be isolated – and then pull it out of the game? Why didn’t they cancel the game then? That’s exactly why some people think the league should pause for a couple of weeks while they get things straight.</p>

Kevin Durant puts the NBA on blast over health and safety protocols

Kevin Durant puts the NBA on blast over health and safety protocols - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kevin-durant-t139314" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kevin Durant</strong></a> had high praise for <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/james-harden-t120183" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>James Harden</strong></a> after the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a> took down the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Clippers</strong></a> at Barclays Center on Tuesday night. It was a complete showdown that saw the New Yorkers beat the Los Angelenos in a game full of action.</p>
<p>Kyrie Irving took over and led the Nets to the win with 39 points to close a terrific game for the point guard. Steve Nash’s team earned the 124-120 win over one of the best defensive teams in the league and that made everybody happy.</p>
<p>Moreover, Durant believes it was Harden’s defense that had a big impact on the game and explained why going to Houston changed people’s perception of the Beard and his defense, something that has changed in Brooklyn.</p>

<h2>Kevin Durant says James Harden is an underrated defender</h2>
<p>The 2014 MVP had nothing but good words to say about his new teammate and he broke down how things changed for No. 13 since his time in Oklahoma City, Houston and now in the big apple with the Nets.</p>
<p><em>“Coming in with James his rookie year, we asked him to guard guys, the best players off the bench, so he knows exactly what he needs to do on the defensive side of the ball,” Durant said, via the New York Daily News. “When he [went] to Houston, he had to control the offense so much that it’s compromising on who you want to guard and what type of defense you want to play, but he’s always been good at getting steals and playing post defense, using his strength, so he’s an all-around defender.</em></p>
<p><em>“If we ask him to guard somebody, he can go out there and do his job. I think that’s the underrated part of his game.”</em></p>

<p>Harden’s defense has been criticized over the years but the player showed his quality during his last two seasons with Houston. He could guard some players and do a decent job but people didn’t seem to notice that.</p>
<p>Now he’s trying to help his new team on both ends of the ball, even using different strategies to contribute. He’s the assisting leader of the league and seeing how well KD talked about him, you know his efforts in defense are paying off.</p>
