Russell Westbrook is reckless with mustard. Figures. And James Harden has a tear-away beard. Knew it.
Really though, it’s about time someone took advantage of James Harden’s marketability. Actually check that. James Harden’s beard’s marketability.

I bought one of those Every Damn Day shirts Harden is wearing in black back in like 07/08 or sometime thereabouts. My wife hates it so i still wear it around the house as often as possible
I actually lol', this was a cool one, Foot Locker.
Awesome!
This commercial is amazing....

Behind the scenes. It's not long and doesn't show much but it's just kinda fun to see the players fool around lol
@Arent What? lmao I'm loving these FootLocker commercials.
@Arent lol. about six years :P
I like how even Harden's shoes tear away.
@Arent didn't notice this. rewatching now :) lol
@Arent LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO was sayin the same thing
Is Serge really going to work out with Hakeem or is this just a rumor?
@Skyline Hakeem's asking to work him out. I say no because it's only going to be a 1 or 2 weeks session. The team as a whole need to learn how to play team defense first before Ibaka can try and help at the other end. The Finals wasn't lost because of a lack of post-scorer for us, it was a lack of team defense
@Skyline yeah 1 week session isn't going to cut out for Serge. We don't need offense. We need defense, all Hakeem wants to do is work on offense like Serge is going to be the new focal point or something
@OBoymuzik @Skyline I talking about order of importance. How high has the Thunder's offense been ranked these past few years? I'm not talking about what knick fans want or Tyson Chandler. I'm talking about what the Thunder need. It'd be nice to see offense from Ibaka but it's not needed. KD and Harden need to work along with Ibaka to become better defenders for the team. What's more important to you? Teams still shooting 3's on us or Ibaka's post presence as a 4th option?
@thelaughingwiseman @Skyline serge will probably either be spending his time before training camp either working with hakeem or taking time away from basketball...pretty big sacrifice to go work with a hall of famer
@thelaughingwiseman @Skyline where in the laws of basketball does it say that you can't improve both your offense and defense..should knick fans not want tyson chandler to work with hakeem?
@OBoymuzik @Skyline They could score. The Thunder had no all around defensive sets. That is why 3's and penetration and transition defense killed them. All things the whole team as a group need to work on. With good team defense and natural progression from Ibaka wouldn't command a lot of money that way
@thelaughingwiseman @Skyline downside is he would probably command more money if we can't sign him to a contract extension
@thelaughingwiseman @Skyline he would have go to moves on offense...average more points, get more minutes, help in games where harden or russ can't score, be more active on defense because he's more included in the offense, take the ball away from perk
@OBoymuzik @Skyline How would Ibaka having a 1 week jamming session with Hakeem work out for us?
@thelaughingwiseman @Skyline we don't need offense but if Dirk wants to come play here for free we should let him
If Serge was somehow transformed into Hakeem, it would have helped a lot though.
@thelaughingwiseman @Skyline if you can work with hakeem you work with hakeem..end of story
@thelaughingwiseman @Skyline if hakeem wants to work with Daequan i would want daequan to work with him lol
@Skyline here's the timeline
1.Hakeem said he wanted to work with serge
2.Hakeem's people contacted scotty about it
3. Serge says before olympics that he's planning on going to houston before training camp
now serge is in the congo doing unicef charity work, Tyson chandler is doing unicef work in another country and has cancelled his trip to work with Hakeem. but no word on if serge is still going
@Skyline Hakeem wants to, Serge said he wants to. As far as I know, we have no confirmation of any official meeting
@dancassidy35/FreeFestusFromGSW! Thanks. I didn't think that anything had been confirmed with Serge/Hakeem, hope it gets done.
Now if we can get KD to work out with Kareem and master that sky hook. Imagine the possibilities with KD's long arms and low post sky hook. It doesn't take strength so KD could really add this to his game.
So, this is the NBA's off time? Are there going to be any camps?
@thelaughingwiseman i posted an update about Amare from Hakeem under the post below.
lmao. just got to watch this *at work we cant get on youtube* this was freaking awesome. i laughed a lot during this. The epic stare, the beard tear lmao. fantastic.
Like a thief in the night from a Knicks blogger, I found this quote from Hakeem about A'mare:
"You won't believe it. It’s night and day. What’s so nice is he wants it; he likes the post" -Hakeem on Amare's improvement
Here is the post:

#SomeoneCallSerge
will barton scores 72 points in a pickup game..this was the guy i wanted us to draft before perry fell
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_IEA6n9nPA&feature=youtu.be
@OBoymuzik He's got the long wingspan, checks outs ok with the most important Thunder(er) aspect
@dancassidy35/FreeFestusFromGSW! came in very highly regarded to memphis and had a terrible freshman year and had the reputation of a hot head...was pretty good the next year.
Harden's probably thinking...see, this is why no one outside of Oklahoma likes you Russell lol

@Crow you should post this as a facebook status or a series of tweets
@OBoymuzik a series of tweets would sorta defeat part of the motivation. i probably should have posted a long basketball analysis piece - or nothing- but instead i went with drivel. for some reason the part of my brain in control for the moment wanted to do drivel. if it didn't amuse, just forget it. it probably wasn't that amusing. but it occupied my mind for a few minutes and i didnt do anything worse so from my perspective, it probably wasn't that bad. or something.
@OBoymuzik
are you sure it exceeds the 140 characters limit?
@OBoymuzik that's what i mean.
i reckon you can probably fit it all on one tweet...
@cleandoe "series of tweets"
@Crow are you high
@justin_mia
I don't get high except when I am climbing mountains.
I was just trying to do something to take me away from being serious for a moment. I was beginning to get annoyed at a few things, on site but mostly otherwise.
See conversation 2 threads ago.
How is Russ and $90 million dollar man and Harden is the star of this national commercial? I'm not complaining, just pointing it out. It has to be the marketability of the beard. It is quite glorious.
I'm just happy to see Russ in a national commercial.
Wishlist for next season,
1. Russ keeps his mohawk thing from Team USA,
2. Durant gets Kareem-esque goggles.
3. Harden trims the beast so it doesn't throw off his center of gravity.
@dancassidy35/FreeFestusFromGSW! Russ needs to get a flat top and KD needs to go bald
@OBoymuzik Serge needs something to, let's say Russ gets to choose between the mohawk and flat top and Serge can have whats left haha. Perk already has the whole Pharaoh look going for him.
@dancassidy35/FreeFestusFromGSW! and this guy...

@OBoymuzik I've never been a big fan of the headband. IMO, only a few can pull it off, LeBron, Pierce, Melo, etc.
@dancassidy35/FreeFestusFromGSW! serge can take lazars headband when lazar leaves the thunder forever (hopefully soon)
@OBoymuzik @dancassidy35/FreeFestusFromGSW! Nick Collison needs a Ron Jeremy mustache. He would then be the greatest in the world.
