James Harden Blasts Brooklyn Nets Organization
James Harden was the first player to leave the "Big Three" Brooklyn Nets, facilitating his way to the Philadelphia 76ers after playing just 16 games alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The star guard clearly grew unhappy with how things were going in Brooklyn, and recently spoke about the dysfunction that existed while he was there.
"Yeah, there was a lot of things. A lot of dysfunction, clearly," Harden said after Philly's win over Brooklyn on Saturday night. "There was a lot of internal things, I’m not gonna just put in the media or anything, and that was one of the reasons why I chose to make my decisions. Now, fast forward to today, I don’t look like the crazy one. I don’t look like the quitter or whatever the media wanna call me. I knew what was going on and I just decided I’m not built for this. I don’t wanna deal with that. I wanna play basketball and have fun and enjoy doing it. Fast forward to today, they got a whole new roster."
Making it very clear that there was dysfunction, and how that has now become much more visible for the world to see after both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant asked out, Harden blasted the Nets organization for internal developments that led to his departure.
With Harden, Irving, and Durant having all asked out of Brooklyn, it seems as if the problems may have been much deeper than the just the players.
