While this milestone is definitely good to pass for James Harden, his focus will likely be on winning a championship with the Philadelphia 76ers. He has achieved a lot on an individual level during his career, but one of the things that still eludes him is an NBA title. His teammates clearly respect him, and Joel Embiid was definitely excited to play with an offensive threat like Harden.
There is no doubt that the Philadelphia 76ers are widely viewed as a contender. They have a dominant duo in James Harden and Joel Embiid, as well as some solid supporting players in Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris. They have the talent to potentially win it all.
The team’s first priority though will be winning the game against the Brooklyn Nets that is going on currently. They can’t get too far ahead of themselves, and they need to take things one game at a time. Chemistry is an important part of winning a championship, and the 76ers have less time than most to develop it. Hopefully, we see them hit their peak by the time the playoffs roll around.
