Due in large part to the exceptional play of their key players, James Harden and Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers have enjoyed an exceptional season. In his first full season with the Sixers, Harden has put up stellar numbers, averaging 21 points, 10.7 assists, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 38.5 percent from outside the arc. On the other hand, Joel Embiid has also shown his class on-court and seems to be on the way to winning his first MVP award.

As a result of the excellent teamwork between Harden and Embiid, the duo recently made history by setting a record that was last broken 41 years ago. However, even after such a feat, many NBA fans have a different perspective on Harden?s achievements.?

James Harden has never missed a playoff

The Beard has displayed a remarkable connection with Embiid and has expertly overseen the third-ranked offense of the Sixers. It is a testament to their productivity and chemistry that they were able to do what had not been done in 41 years. The duo of Embiid-Harden recently became the first teammates to lead the NBA in scoring and assists since 1981-82. Almost four decades prior, the record was then held by George Gervin and Johnny Moore of the Spurs.

NBA icons like LeBron James and Michael Jordan have not been able to pull off such a feat. Despite the 33-year-old’s remarkable successes, Harden has encountered a lot of criticism from the hoops community, many of whom question his credibility due to his lack of a ring. The only thing on his record that is still missing is an NBA title.

Here are some responses to a tweet that praised Harden on his accomplishment :
