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

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – James Naismith, the Canadian-American who invented the game of basketball, was celebrated with a Google Doodle on Friday.

Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal had plenty of thoughts about the blockbuster trade that sent Houston Rockets star James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets. The duo addressed the trade on “NBA on TNT” on Thursday night, and didn’t have much sympathy for Harden — especially after his exit. Shaq: ‘When it comes time to show up, he ain’t show up’ Barkley kept it simple, issuing a perfect new nickname for Kevin Durant’s new teammates — who he doesn’t think can live up to Steph… Source link

James Harden is still planning to move forward with a new business venture in the Houston area despite his recent trade and, well, tumultuous exit with the Rockets.

The restaurant, Thirteen, is named after his jersey number. “Our entire staff and team are looking forward to providing top-notch service and bringing a one-of-a-kind dining experience to Houston,”… 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
