Brian Windhorst: ‘I’ll give James Harden credit that he came to the Top 75 to be honored. I did hear that the NBA sent a plane for him and I heard that they had to send it to an island. That’s all I’ll say. He did get there.’

James Harden is the only player in NBA history to record at least 25 points and 10 assists in each of his first two games with a new team.
He has now done so twice: 2020-21 with the @Brooklyn Nets and 2021-22 with the @Philadelphia 76ers. pic.twitter.com/kBF9kJCtr4 – 10:01 AM

James Harden only knows a couple Sixers sets. This is one, a wrinkle out of “Delay,” which is getting Joel Embiid incredibly easy baskets.

Joel Embiid is right about one thing: if the @NBAOfficial’s are gonna call it that soft, the 76ers will be unstoppable. Free throw exhibitions. But Harden is also right: he’s a great teammate. Makes the game easier for everyone with the pressure he puts on a defense. – 7:21 AM

More on this storyline
Green has also emphasized the silver lining of the Warriors losing that series. Kevin Durant said he wouldn’t have joint them that summer if they had just won the title. With Durant, Golden State won the next two championships and then another Western Conference crown. The Warriors arguably had more total success than they would’ve if Green didn’t get suspended. But there’s one aspect of the suspension Green won’t sugarcoat. Green on “The Old Man & The Three“: “The one thing, when I look back on it, that bothers me is I would’ve been the Finals MVP. And that totally changes the narrative. Good luck leaving me off the NBA 75 if I was Finals MVP. Good luck even having a debate if I’m a Hall of Famer or not if I was Finals MVP.” “When I look back on that from a selfish standpoint, which I rarely do, I would have been Finals MVP and that changes the course of everything.” -via NBC Sports / February 24, 2022
