Tainted. Maligned. Picked apart despite obvious talent.
Harden is in Carmelo Anthony territory. In fact, he's been there for a while. It's just that wins and the perceived potential that came with youth (he's still only 26) quieted the discontent for a time.
ESPN.com's David Thorpe had this to say of Harden two seasons ago:
There's a darker side to Harden's game, one that does little to engender a team concept and ultimately just makes him look selfish. Because of that, the Houston Rockets and their fans are fair to ask whether Harden is beginning to resemble a player maligned as a selfish, ball-hogging player -- the New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony.

Is he really in that territory??
Can he still go back to where he was last season?
