James Harden is one of the best guards in the world, and he is well-known for his offensive capabilities. James Harden is a fantastic playmaker that can also score at a good level. Currently, James Harden is averaging 22.5 PPG, 7.9 RPG, and 10.2 APG.
There is no doubt that James Harden’s tenure in Philadelphia has been overall good so far, as the team has a 6-1 record with him on the team. While having only one loss in that timeframe is good, that loss came against the Brooklyn Nets, the team that James Harden was traded from.
During that loss against the Nets, James Harden became third in the all-time 3PT shots made rankings. There is no doubt that this was a great achievement for him, and today, he posted a hype video celebrating his accomplishment.
A lot of NBA fans roasted James Harden for his decision to make a hype video for a game which the Philadelphia 76ers ended up losing. It makes sense that James Harden would want to celebrate his individual accomplishment, but one could also see why it seems strange from the fans’ perspective, especially since he didn’t play particularly well against the Nets.

While the Philadelphia 76ers did lose their matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, things can change from the regular season to the postseason. A team with James Harden and Joel Embiid on the roster is quite obviously a contender, and if they were to face off against the Brooklyn Nets in a series, they’d have a solid chance of winning.
Hopefully, we see the Philadelphia 76ers figure things out in the future and become a contender. They have not been further than the second round of the playoffs during Joel Embiid’s tenure on the team. Perhaps the James Harden trade is the trade that will put them over the top, and hopefully, we see them make it to the Finals in the future.
