James Harden is one of the best players the NBA has seen in the past 15 years or so, delighting fans with his incredible plays. He was a top-5 player in the league during the 2010s, leading his Houston Rockets to compete for a spot in the Finals more than once but never reaching the big stage.
Harden has endured a difficult 2022-23 NBA season with the Philadelphia 76ers, dealing with injuries and the criticism that followed him after failing to make an impact on the Sixers. The entire has struggled this campaign, so it’s not like Harden is the one to blame.
He knows that his best years might be past him, but he can still bring something meaningful to the table. The Beard has a great partner in Joel Embiid this season, but the Sixers have a difficult task trying to win the championship in a stacked Eastern Conference.
James Harden Reveals The Only Team His Career Is Missing
Just like his former teammate Kevin Durant, Harden has talked about his legacy in the league and how people will remember him. Given his incredible displays during his Houston Rockets days, Harden earned a lot of love and respect for his game, but many people think he needs to win a championship to be even greater than he is right now.
During a recent interview with Yaron Weitzman of Fox Sports, the 2018 NBA MVP opened up on what his career is missing and what he’s done for the game. Harden claims that he only needs to win the championship after he was one of the players who changed the game of basketball.
“So, of course, I care, but people are going to talk no matter what. But I care about, like, winning and things that are important and matter. I don’t care about things that don’t matter, that are gonna be a story for 24 or 48 hours and then go away.
“I’m one of the people that changed the game of basketball,” he continued. “Honestly, the only thing that I’m missing is a championship.”
Harden showed flashes of his best level during his first 10 games with the Sixers last season, but then his level decreased, and many started criticizing him. Philly remains a question mark in the East, but if they find their rhythm, this team could go all the way to the Finals, and Harden could win his first NBA championship after so many years of trying without success.
