Wherever James Harden goes, controversies follow him. The Philadelphia 76ers star is often bashed for his off-court activities, which sometimes had an effect on his performances on the court.

Recently, he made some comments regarding all the hate he is getting recently. After the 76ers fell short to the Miami Heat during the second round of the playoffs, Harden’s performances came under the radar.

The former MVP said, “I wasn’t right last season and I still almost averaged a triple-double. If anybody else had those numbers, we’d be talking about them getting the max.”

Safe to say, his words were enough to send NBA fans on Twitter into a frenzy. While some of them lauded Harden for speaking out, some of them have left no stone unturned to roast him.

After making the blockbuster move to the Philadelphia 76ers from the Brooklyn Nets, he has had no respite from all the hate and criticism. The media and fans used him as a scapegoat to blame the 76ers loss on him.

With his latest words regarding his form last season, NBA fans have given their opinions and reactions. Here are some of the best reactions.

How good was James Harden last season?

James Harden joined Joel Embiid in the Philadelphia 76ers last season after leaving the Brooklyn Nets. Although a lot was expected from them, the results were underwhelming.

However, Harden does put a good point about averaging almost a triple-double last season. He averaged 21.0 points, 10.5 assists, and 7.1 assists in practically half a season with the 76ers. With Harden looking to settle better with his new teammates, the expectations are high for the 76ers.
