Tier One Spotlight: Brooklyn Nets
"​This team has lasted longer than I thought, and greatly outperformed my expectations.  Their offensive fire power is unparalleled in the league, and this is them without KD.  However, it is important to note this team does have flaws. They are currently ranked 25th defensively."

Should the Rockets Retire James Harden's Jersey?

3/15/2021

0 Comments

 
Houston Rocket's owner Tilman Fertitta made a bold statement this week. "James Harden will always be a Rocket. Of course, we will retire his jersey." but... should they? Harden posted historic offensive numbers, went to multiple Western Conference Finals and secured an MVP in 2014 but was it enough? Many look at James time with the Rockets as hollow stat padding and resent him for his final few months with the franchise. What is James Harden's H- Town Legacy and is it enough for him to have his jersey hung from the rafters and not in a strip club?

Drew is here to give his reaction of Ibrahimovic's comments.

Being this high in the standings for any team, in the west, is no fluke at this point in the season. This team is the real deal."
