James Harden is a modern-day version of Charles Barkley. Both are household names, both are Hall-of-Fame talents, and both are never going to have a championship ring. The most that can be said of the Beard’s time in Los Angeles is that he helped the team to have winning records. For clubs that care about excellence, however, the winning must include an NBA title, and Cleveland is the lastest organization to foolishly imagine Harden is their ticket to the top.
