One NBA fan called out James Harden over his inability to win a championship, comparing The Beard to the Antetokounmpo brothers, claiming they will win a championship before the Brooklyn Nets superstar.
Harden left the Houston Rockets in January after a couple of rocky months. He was traded to Brooklyn to create a Big 3 with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. After that move, everybody picked the Nets as favorites to win the championship, but things weren’t as good as they wanted.
Injuries and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks prevented the Nets from having a deep playoffs run. They couldn’t get past the Bucks in the second round of the postseason, losing the series in seven games.
Now the Bucks are two games away from the NBA Finals, and one fan remembered Harden, saying he’ll see the Antetokounmpos get a ring before him.
“All 3 Antetokounmpos are really gonna have a ring before James Harden,” this person tweeted.

Of course, this drew a lot of attention on social media, with fans replying to the tweet either making fun of Harden or saying the Bucks won’t win this year.

If Harden stayed in OKC they might have won 2 or 3. He’s following the path he chose.

He definitely is never going to win one now that the NBA is taking away his only move. It’s about time the NBA did something to stop the bs he calls basketball. If the NBA follows through Harden will be a name that no one remembers.

This will always be a curious debate because Giannis and James have had beef for some time now. Since their battles for the MVP award, these two monsters have been at it, exchanging jabs whenever they have the chance.
The Bucks are up 2-1 against the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals. If they get past Trae Young and co., one of the Phoenix Suns or Los Angeles Clippers will be waiting for them.
We still have to wait and see how this situation develops for the Greek players, but the picture looks very promising.
