James Harden is playing his second game for the Los Angeles Clippers after losing in his debut match against the New York Knicks. And this time, Harden has traveled to the other side of town to face his old team, the Brooklyn Nets. The former MVP has been surrounded by drama throughout his career. He parted ways with his former teams, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets, on bad terms.

So, when James Harden made his return to Brooklyn in Clippers’ threads, he faced the wrath of angry Nets fans.

James Harden returns to Brooklyn

The Los Angeles Clippers are facing the Brooklyn Nets tonight. Before the game, the Clippers’ roster was announced in the arena. Most of the players on the roster got a round of applause from the fans when their names were announced. But, when the Brooklyn Nets fans saw the picture of their former star James Harden pop on the big screen and heard his name being announced, they openly expressed their anger by booing the former MVP in unison. The arena was filled with loud boos, and the fans let The Beard know that he was not welcome in Brooklyn.

Harden played for the Brooklyn Nets from early 2021 to late 2022. They found no significant success in Harden’s tenure despite having three of the most lethal offensive players on their roster, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant. Instead, all Harden brought to the table was the drama. He eventually got traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in September of last year, and we all know how that turned out.

With Harden’s history of forcing trades from almost every team he’s been on, there’s only one question on everyone’s lips.
