Though most people watch basketball for the entertainment factor that the game provides, sometimes there are emotional moments that make you appreciate the aspect beyond what’s on the court.

The Philadelphia 76ers recently defeated the Boston Celtics in Game 4, with James Harden hitting the game-winning shot in overtime. After he hit the dagger shot, he shared a moment with Michigan State shooting survivor John Hao, whom he has frequently been in contact with.

There’s no doubt that this is a fantastic gesture from James Harden, and it is clear that he is invested in the young man’s recovery. It is always good to see athletes as a whole do these sorts of things, and hopefully, Hao manages to recover well.

James Harden has averaged 23.0 PPG, 5.0 RPG, and 8.9 APG in the playoffs thus far. He has stepped up in the scoring department against the Boston Celtics, and hopefully, he keeps up that sort of production for the rest of the playoffs.


James Harden Believes The 2022-23 Philadelphia 76ers Are His Best Chance Of Winning A Championship

There’s no doubt that the 2022-23 Philadelphia 76ers are a talented squad, and if they manage to get past the Boston Celtics, they will have a good chance of making the NBA Finals. They could even win the championship if they face the right team. In fact, James Harden has previously stated that this team is the “best chance” he’s ever had of winning a championship.

“Top, for sure. We had some really good teams in Oklahoma City, then that ’18 team in Houston. But this team is definitely the best chance I’ve had to win.”

There’s no doubt that James Harden will be crucial for the Philadelphia 76ers if they are to win a championship this season. The team needs him to be the floor general and a secondary scorer, and thus far, he has been doing a solid job of both empowering his teammates and getting his own buckets.

However, ultimately, the responsibility to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a championship will lie on Joel Embiid, the 2022-23 MVP. Hopefully, he is up for the challenge and we’ll see what happens in the future for the team.
