Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden and Showtime Sports journalist Rachel Nichols had the internet buzzing when a picture of the duo talking in the locker room did the rounds on social media.
The picture of Harden barefoot in his 76ers training kit, Nichols rocking a grey long-sleeve dress and boots, went viral on Twitter. The analyst could be seen smiling while the guard appeared to be in the conversation.
This development comes on the back of the Sixers’ 120-111 win against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Crypto.com Arena. Needless to say, their interaction garnered ample reactions from fans.

James Harden & Rachel Nichols in the locker room
While the details of their conversation remain unknown, it’s best, perhaps, not to be delving too much into the whole scenario. After all, players and journos have been known to interact before.
NBA Fans React To James Harden And Rachel Nichols’ Viral Picture
It didn’t take long for the image to blow up Twitter, and the replies came in copious doses.
While some were just ho-hum about the interactions, there was a bit of attention devoted to Harden’s feet and the general “what’s cooking” gossip. Here are some choice reactions to the image:

His feet size do not look proportionate to his body size. Like his feet are too small that body. Looking like he’s gonna topple over. https://t.co/ziRsEghkwG

Nichols has been linked with NBA stars before. Earlier, theories linking her and Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler churned the rumor mills, but there was no concrete evidence to these claims, although it was enough to cause a buzz on social media. It appears to have died down now and Nichols is currently with Showtime, her next venture after ESPN.
The analyst is back to doing what she does best after her infamous ESPN controversy. In the meantime, Harden has his sights set on the NBA title and is keen to win it with the Sixers.
On the season front, Philadelphia is better-placed in the East with a 29-16 record. They are third in the standings, and the guard with the fancy footwork (despite the jokes about his feet) has played his part in helping the Sixers get to where they are.
All the rumors between these two aside, only time will tell if Harden has scintillating success with Philadelphia and Nichols reaches where she wants to be with her new gig.
