Surely expectations of some players and front office got tangled but in Harden's case he left because he didn't want to be that guy or better yet he's not that guy in this point of his career. All eyes were on him to lead/ carry the team with KD injured and Kyrie out due to personal choice. He couldn't handled that pressure and exposure so he left. Don't try to make it seem like it was all about the Organization. 😏
It's like watching a Tibetan monk give a master class. Clown with receding braids is more like it.
Harden called Steve Nash out when he left and ESPN covered it up!
Mayor fault stupid vaccine mandate
I still remember that harden was playing even while 5 or 6 players not available. Yeah he was there for the big 3 not to be a pompier.
ESPN has to be careful Tristan is very fertile
All that Brooklyn gave up to James harden smh
Only thing he was right about is that he wasn't built for this. His revisionist history is crazy. Dude IS a quieter
My man Tristan Thompson is a Cavalier through and through! Go Cavs!
ESPN should fix it’s disfunction by learning how to spell by learning how to spell dysfunction.
Of the 3 former Net, who do you see first winning a title?
Dysfunction not dis.
Tristan “you know” Thompson
6:23 Biased Opinion, Homerism whatever you want to call it. I knew MA was going to say even if the Bucks are on a 10 game win streak. Giannis being Giannis. BRING IT ON BOSTON!
Why y’all dragging the Nets franchise down ?
i mean, was there a question as to why he left? He was fed up with that messy hoe Kyrie
Y’all this dude was unhealthy out of shape not playing well and trynna b a rapper n shii y’all forgetting
just bring back new jersey nets smh bk nets just all around cursed
And the media tarnished his character when all he did was leave a toxic situation. Bro left one of best big 3s of all time for a reason
Harden left Houston and Brooklyn for valid reasons. In Houston, the Gm and coach that helped him left or got let go, the team didn't make any moves to get better; In Brooklyn, he left a clear toxic situation where there was no stability, bad coaching, and inconsistent line ups.
BeArd is a BUST, like Russ. KD was only one from the OKC big three to do anything.
Go Sixers ! So happy we gave up Ben for him. He can actually run an offense.
Ok let's keep it real. Dude reported out of shape in Houston. Force his way out and came to Nets out of shape. Look horrible last year with the 76ers in the playoff. Let's keep it real this don't redeem you.
Thank you Malika for being the only person with brains on show! Everybody in denial or needing drug tests that leave out Bucks and Giannis rn. 10 straight and Giannis averaging near 40 come on… stop the hate
Never really heard Tristan's voice before..despite his past history of staying in the media
Why does Tristan sound like he's RJ's brother though? Lol.
I feel bad for Nick Friedell having to be the center of attention when it comes to covering the Nets. Last year he could have done what Malika did after the 2021 regular season when she went back to covering Giannis regularly. Instead he stayed put and was force fed information towards never ending soap opera that rivals the Billy Martin Era Yankees in history except the Nets didn't win any championships. As a Bucks fan its fitting that Andrews and Katie George are the only ones that were around the Nets Big 3 that got a taste of the NBA Finals during the 2021 season. (That was when they were covering the Bucks again)
ESPN is so dysfunctional that they don't even have spell check
Funny Malika and Ramona still want to point fingers and tow the corporate party line that it is ALWAYS the Black athletes fault when things go wrong. James Harden's comment about "dysfunction" ALSO includes management and ownership. No one wants to talk about that. This is why ESPN is no longer being looked at as a SERIOUS media organization. Bias after bias. Everyday they bash Black athletes and/or coaches. However, no coverage on the questionable conduct Brett Farve and millions funneled from the Mississippi welfare program to build a volleyball gym for his daughter; Dana White publicly abusing his wife or Jerry Jones at 15 years old standing there with his peers preventing young black boys access to their school. ESPN is consistently BIASED.
Poor James harden 🙄
You are all silly… James Harden was well within his right to be annoyed and frustrated with the Nets. His move from rockets made sense … He was there for a long time and the pieces just didn't fit. Coming in his later years they didn't improve the roster. He moved on because this is a business. Now he got a chance to be with KD again… Because that group in okc didn't want to break up… Management just didn't want to pay luxury tax… So him getting that opportunity again… Who wouldn't take that. Put kyrie was just pure drama… And he didn't join the team for drama.. Kyrie wanted loyalty during his drama… KD gave it harden didn't and he opted to leave and they brand. Look at loyalty on kyries's side… Clearly he has non. Because he opted and left and now KD is gone… So clearly there was drama there all along and no one should have blamed harden for that
Okay cool it's done now, Respectfully As a Brooklyn Nets fan we don't care. We moved on no need for any cover ups or excuses. Go get Philly a Championship.
Dysfunction. Come on ESPN.
I like this crew
Go go Cavs!!!😂😂
Richard Jefferson looks different. 🧐🤔
I can’t even watch these basketball shows on ESPN anymore.
1:56 "At one point I was looked as the villain for going to three teams in less than three seasons."
He went to two teams, the team he left doesn't count.
She’s right, why are we forgetting about the Bucks
Only one more dummy to get away from before he can win (doc)
Giannis the mvp
Wow you couldnt tell tristan played for da cavs at all😒
BUT HE QUIT ON ROCKETS TOO 😂 TF😂😂
