Tyrese Maxey talks to The Athletic about James Harden: “He taught me a lot… all I can do is say thank you and I appreciate him. I still talk to him to this day, he still critiques the stuff that I do.”
James is a bum, but at least he did this one thing for the franchise

I’ve always been a Harden fan. From his OKC/Rocket days to even now with the Clippers. Dude is a certified baller and helped Embiid win MVP and Maxey become his path to superstardom. I have a Harden Sixers jersey and I will happily wear it at times (unlike a lot of other Eagle/Sixer jerseys I have)

Glad Maxey picked parts of his game to emulate. Also glad he went his own direction on the defensive end. He’s small but he doesn’t lack in effort.

I don’t think Harden is a bad dude. He’s kind of a weirdo but that’s ok. Things didn’t work out here but the Sixers as a team are better off without him (considering the payday he wants and his age) and he can go to LA, play for a contender, and get paid. Everybody wins.

I wish things went differently with him, definitely hurts how he went out but can’t keep blaming him for the front office making him think they might pay him more than they wanted to. I’d have been mad too.

Ngl as fun as it was to see the Clippers struggle at the start of the trade, I’d love if not the Nuggets we could face The Clippers in the finals should we get there. Would be a fun as hell story
