The person behind making Harden angry is Nate Robinson. He joined the team from the Boston Celtics and he had a salty relationship with his new teammates from the beginning. Moreover, he played a dirty prank involving Harden’s car that sent the former MVP fuming.
Durant said, “I remember one time James (Harden) got so mad. We had Nate Robinson on the team. Nate (drove) James’ car all the way around the corner and parked it at the car wash. He ain’t tell nobody.
KD further added, “He just parked it at the car wash out of nowhere. He took pictures ghost ridin’ this joint, like on top of the hood. We walked in the locker room and James was like, ‘Yo, where’s my keys at?’ He’s steaming. He’s ready to fight Nate almost. Pissed.”
Robinson ended up signing for the Golden State Warriors in 2012 after playing a handful of games for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
