James Harden Gets Mocked to His Face by NBA Veteran as He Tries to Start a Fight During NBA Game
Follow Us
The arrival of James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers boosted their championship hopes for the season. This was especially true since Joel Embiid’s former co-star, Ben Simmons, did not suit up for the team. The trade with the Brooklyn Nets for Harden gave the 76ers not just someone who can score, but a former league MVP who knows how to win. Alongside Embiid, Harden and the Sixers are strong contenders for the Larry O’Brien trophy.
In the 8 games that Harden has played for the Sixers, he has won 6 and lost 2. In fact, the team’s most recent loss would be against the Denver Nuggets. Although Harden had a near triple-double performance, the 76ers lost to the Nuggets by 4 points. An interesting moment arose in the game’s 4th quarter. Harden nearly got into a scuffle with Nuggets’ veteran DeMarcus Cousins. However, the latter just laughed in the face of the ‘Beard’.

Even after the loss to the Nuggets, the Sixers still stand strong at the 3rd position in the East with a 41-26 record. As the playoffs come closer each day, the franchise only has 15 games to get as many wins as possible and hopefully improve their position in the conference. They will need both Harden and Embiid at their best, along with improved performances from Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris. Moreover, health will also be a major factor. It’s time to have all hands on deck for the Sixers as they push for the NBA title.
