What do max contract players do that he does not?

be the focal point of their team and carry them through long stretches of the season.

Ding ding. Thank God it's not just me reading this James Harden = max and going WTF.

I called it wrong. I admit it. I did not think he was this good. Clearly, I was mistaken.

At this point, I'd rather have him instead of anyone on the Knicks to pair with Jeremy Lin. But that window has passed. Ah well.

Oh how I wish we had drafted Bird instead of Michael Ray Richardson.

Sure they will, but when Lebron is 40 years old. LOL
