Teams around the NBA would consider asking the league to investigate a James Harden to 76ers deal, should the Brooklyn Nets superstar land in Philadelphia, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Harden has been linked to the 76ers because of his relationship with president of basketball operations Daryl Morey from their time with the Houston Rockets. Harden is also friends with 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin. Some front-office executives believe talks are going on now between Harden and the 76ers on… Source link

Brooklyn Nets star James Harden isn’t just producing on the court. The nine-time NBA All-Star, through his Impact 13 Foundation, donated approximately 5,000 essential supplies to children in Haiti last week. Performance apparel such as Adidas backpacks, socks, shoes, water bottles and basketballs as well as personal hygiene products such as Art of Sport deodorant, body wash, lotion, Gopuff tampons, condoms and postpartum undergarments were distributed to more than 300 kids. “Leading by… Source link

Injuries have been a main character throughout this NBA season, so it would be unrealistic for it to allow the most anticipated playoff series to unfold uninterrupted. But for some reason, James Harden coming up lame in the first minute seemed to affect the Milwaukee Bucks more than the Brooklyn Nets. Perhaps it’s because the Nets have dealt with uneven turf all season, yet still find themselves discovering new elements, morphing into a more dogged bunch. Harden’s nonemotional reaction to… Source link

It has been an eventful year for James Harden, but he still seems to be playing like James Harden. The Brooklyn Nets star posted 44 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists on Friday against the Detroit Pistons in a 113-111 win, continuing a strong run for the Nets over the last month in the absence of Kevin Durant. In addition to Durant, the Nets were also missing Kyrie Irving due to a personal matter. That led to an interesting question after the game: Does Harden believe he belongs in the MVP… Source link

Kyrie Irving couldn’t help but laugh when Brooklyn’s video game numbers were presented to him. He also admitted to laughing when Collin Sexton spoiled the debut of the most intriguing trio in the NBA with a career night — in Irving’s signature shoes, at that. Some new days have executive orders trying to erase damage from the past while other new days present all the work that’s yet to be done. The Nets are clearly in the latter, evidenced by the Cleveland Cavaliers outlasting them in… Source link

The James Harden era in Brooklyn has begun, and it already looks quite like the James Harden era in Houston. The star guard notched 32 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds to record a triple-double in his debut with the Nets, who win 122-115 over the Orlando Magic. Kevin Durant also seemed to enjoy playing with Harden, dropping 42 points with plenty of help from his current and former teammate. Harden waited until late in the first quarter to score his first Nets points, employing his signature… Source link

What James Harden is doing right now in the NBA has to be some other form of performance art. “We’re just not good enough — obviously, chemistry, talent-wise, just everything — and it was clear these last few games,” Harden told reporters following another lackluster performance in his team’s fourth loss in five games. He finished his blunt news conference by saying, “I love this city. I’ve literally done everything that I can. I mean, this situation, it’s crazy. It’s… Source link

It seems like an innocent use of social media, but Daryl Morey drew a fine for it anyway. The NBA fined the Philadelphia 76ers president $50,000 for violating the league’s anti-tampering rule, the league announced Monday. The violation is for a tweet Morey shared on Dec. 20 that he quickly deleted. That post was an “On This Day” anniversary post from Dec. 20, 2019, when Morey was the Houston Rockets general manager. It has a photo of James Harden celebrating that he broke the franchise… Source link

Even when pushing for a trade, James Harden can drop numbers like no one else. (Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images) It’s hard to say what the on-court expectations are for a player making his debut after several weeks of trying to force his way out of an organization while openly partying at clubs during a pandemic, but it seems safe to declare that James Harden exceeded them in the Houston Rockets’ season opener. The Rockets star dropped 44 points and 17 assists in his first game with… Source link

Santa has brought James Harden a very special gift this year: no suspension for violating the NBA’s COVID-19 protocols and contributing to the postponement of his team’s first game of the season. The Houston Rockets star was not suspended by the NBA for “attending a private indoor party” with more than 15 people, which is in violation of the NBA’s health and safety protocols, and was instead fined $50,000. Photos and a video surfaced that showed Harden was not wearing a mask at the… Source link
