IS JAMES HARDEN THE WORST FLOPPER IN THE NBA?

The Houston Rockets beat the Los Angeles Lakers again 126-111 with James Harden scoring 50 plus points and a couple of assists and rebounds. The issue here is James Harden was favored by the officials, he went on the line 18 times, the referees were calling fouls every time James Harden drive to the basket. This frustrates Lebron James and the whole Lakers team.

"It's obvious that there are some calls that are not right, this is unacceptable" - Lebron James.

It's a bad officiating night but let's give credit to James Harden who can manipulate the rules in the NBA very well, he is very good in selling calls but there are lot of NBA players who were mad at him because he always flops especially at the end of the ball game. He is very good in acting like he was fouled, the most painful part is you will foul him on the three point line. Sometimes he has no intention of shooting it, he was just really good in making the officials blew their whistle.

James Harden is a great player but most NBA players and analysts were calling him a flopper.

 " It is what it is, the officials were calling the fouls, I am playing honest basketball here, I'm just giving my best and trying to win the game for my team" - James Harden.

With the new rules of the NBA, the evolving calls, most players cannot be touched nowadays, just a little bump then you will be called foul. It's hard to play honest defense nowadays, every hand check will be called, every slight push will be called especially if you are guarding an elite player like James Harden.

The NBA officials were having a hard time making the right call because some players were really good actors, an MVP caliber like James Harden is the toughest to guard because he makes a living on the free throw line, he is the best at selling calls and pretending that he is hurt.

The NBA officiating must be corrected properly so that we can watch the best games, the best honest games without the help of the referees, sometimes the referees were dictating the game and the wisest players were thriving the most.

A twitter poll conducted by an NBA fan says that James Harden is the worst flopper in the NBA history, sometimes he looks like he is cheating, twitter users voted 3 million votes about who is the most flopper in the NBA and James Harden won the contest unanimously.

But it's ok, just like the old saying "if it is working then don't stop it" that's why James keep evolving as a player, the only missing link in his game is defense, if James Harden wants to win championships then he must learn how to play defense, he must use his lateral quickness to guard the player that he is guarding. No doubt he is one of the best but he needs to play defense all the time and not only when he wants to.

CONOR MCGREGOR'S COACH DOESN'T WANT HIM ANYMORE

Conor McGregor is facing another problem, this time his coach and friend John Kavanagh. John, released a statement that he doesn't want to coach Conor McGregor anymore if the fight is not according to what he wants. He want Conor to fight Khabib or Nate Diaz. Nate Diaz is a perfect fight for Conor, a trilogy between these two elite fighters can set a world record not only in MMA but it can also break the highest PPV record in boxing.

John Kavanagh is always pushing Conor McGregor to fight Nate Diaz because to him it's the fight that makes sense and makes a lot of money. "Why will Conor fight what UFC had told him? Nate Diaz and Khabib is the fight that makes sense" -  John

Conor is itching to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov but the only problem is Khabib was suspended for nine months. Nate Diaz on the other hand had some issues with the UFC and wants 30 million dollars if he will fight Conor for a rubber match, something that Dana White isn't happy about. And also, Nate Diaz is the type of fighter who is very hard to deal with, his brother Nick is even threatening UFC that he will leave and go to Bellator instead if they keep low balling him.

According to sources, John Kavanagh and Conor McGregor already had some misunderstandings before the Khabib fight that is why Conor is not so motivated while fighting Khabib. Some people said that it's just an excuse but the way Conor moves, there is really something different on him which most people exactly don't know.

We all know that Conor McGregor is the boss of the Straight Blast Gym in Ireland even if John owns it, Conor is the type of guy who doesn't take commands from nobody. According to Conor's teammates the two are still talking to each other and going out for a coffee.

John Kavanagh is a strict coach and also earned a lot of money from Conor's fights, he is already a millionaire and doesn't mind if Conor leaves the SBG.

"Me and Conor will always be friends, I like him, he helped me a lot if I have money problems but the thing here is... things are going out of control, the team has no direction anymore and that is why Rody his boxing coach left, we don't know what is next, the team is completely unmotivated" - John

On the other hand, Conor McGregor is very quiet about his plans and not revealing his next opponent. He is leaving everyone clueless, he is just posting a few tweets on his tweeter account and sometimes giving small footage of his training.

Experts are speculating that Conor might not fight again and his days in UFC are numbered. But we all know that Conor is not fighting for the money, he is a real fighter and will never give up just because of a one sided defeat against Khabib. It runs in his blood, a true warrior that is very outspoken of his ideas, and if it is true that Conor will not comeback again... the UFC is in big trouble.

CARMELO ANTHONY WILL BE JOINING LAKERS ANYTIME SOON?

This is a dream come true to all the Los Angeles Lakers fan out there. The new weapon will arrive, Carmelo Anthony, one of the best forwards in the league will soon join the Lakers sources says.

His tenure with the Houston Rockets didn't end up very well, Mike D' Antoni put Melo on bench, something that doesn't work well with the talent that Carmelo possess. He only averaged a career low 15.2 ppg in his ten games with Houston Rockets while also playing a career low of 25.8 minutes per ball game.

According to a reliable sources, Lebron James wanted Carmelo badly on his team, he is one of the closest friend of Melo and the two can play very well with each other. Carmelo is a little bit disappointed but according to his agent he is still practicing at they gym and still in perfect shape after a couple of missed games due to being kicked out by the Houston Rockets.

"He is a very good teammate here, he is very professional, he is a good leader and I love him to stay with our team, it's just that some things are not in my control, if I am the GM here I will let Melo stay with the Rockets and let him lead us in the playoffs. He's been a big brother to me and I am more confident if he was with our team" - Chris Paul

Carmelo is only 34 years old, his averages are going down because he teamed up with ball hog teammates like Russell Westbrook back in the OKC and James Harden in Houston Rockets. If Melo is the first option then for sure he will still average more than 25.3 ppg.

The Los Angeles Lakers are doing well this season but they need an X-factor if they want to win the championship this season, Carmelo Anthony is a sharp shooter with big size and also veteran smarts that can outplay weak defenders of Golden State Warriors. 

Sources says that Melo and Los Angeles Lakers are in deep talks right now, Of course Melo wanted to make sure that he and the Lakers are on the same page, according to his agent Melo is excited to play with Lebron James and the two are texting about the possible union.

Lonzo Ball is also excited, he is even texting Carmelo Anthony about the possibility of playing with him. "He will be a very big help for our team, actually he can be our leading or second scorer, he has that high Basketball IQ that we can use during the pressure games, he is one of my idols while growing up" - Lonzo.

"My postion is really weird right now, I felt like a garbage when the Rockets waived me, I am still motivated to prove my worth and I will do whatever it takes to help a team that badly wants a championship, my numbers speak for itself, I still feel that I have a lot of gas left in my tank" - Carmelo Anthony
