After months of trade drama in the off-season, James Harden finally found his new home with the Clippers. A huge section of fans criticized the deal, pointing out the failed Big-3 in Brooklyn Nets. Moreover, the LA Clippers‘ disappointing game on Harden’s debut further increased the noise around the narrative. However, the popular narrative has finally been brought down with statistics.

Ever since Harden called Daryl Morey a liar, the trade has been on the cards. Interestingly, the Beard has always shown his interest in the Clippers and eventually, he received what he wished for. In the meantime, fans criticized him for jumping to the third team since his trade from the Houston Rockets, especially for breaking the Nets’ big-3 union. Amid this noise, the veteran NBA analyst Ohm Youngmisuk debunked the narrative with a simple stat in a recent podcast.
