I'm sure that Houston fans love him. I'm OK with that.
I can't watch him. At this point my own biases and dislike for the guy have made it so that I don't care about the rest. I recognize and accept that those are my biases. But the NBA is for entertainment. And if it isn't entertaining for me, I'm not going to watch it.
I get that there needs to be villains and people like to watch the villain too. But at a certain point if enough guys like me, who casually watch a number of NBA games throughout the week, keep turning off the TV when guys like Harden are on - the league will make some changes.
If enough guys like you like watching it, then they won't.
I'm OK with whatever they do.
