James Harden has been great with the Philadelphia 76ers so far, even though many doubts were expressed regarding the trade. His performances with the team went well at the beginning, which made fans quite happy. 

It appears that players are working hard to improve their basketball skills this off-season, and we saw two great players playing against each other. 

We saw Scottie Barnes’ defense skills during Rico Hines’ basketball run against James Harden. As a result of Barnes’ performance with the Toronto Raptors in the 2021-22 NBA championship, he has become one of the league’s best players.

In addition to winning rookie of the year, he has been a tremendous addition to the team. According to the stats report, Barnes averaged 15.3 points per game, 7.5 rebounds per game, and 3.5 assists per game last season.

He displayed excellent skills and performance throughout the game and played multiple positions for the team. The 21-year-old can be seen guarding Harden on the perimeter, not allowing him an inch, and as Harden eventually failed to make the shot.

In order to improve the defensive skills of their players, the Raptors have been working hard. It is evident that the results have been achieved. The video of the practice game is gaining a lot of traction. In the aftermath, Harden gets destroyed on the internet after the 2021-22 ROTY put the clamps on him.

There is a lot of buzz around this on NBA Twitter, with one user even saying: “He has jetlag from hanging with Trav and KD.” During the match, Harden was viewed as not being up to his usual standards, and fans commented on this. In relation to Travis Scott’s concert, he attended with Kevin Durant. They partied hard during the concert, as witnessed by the concert pictures and videos.
