The headline MAY be spicy but I want to clarify here that he’s more referring to the media with this. Posting this now so some dishonest user with a Celtics flair doesn’t try and act like we have a problem. Will Harden bounce back this season?

He’s right
Dishonest user with a Celtics flair lmfaooo
Who’s the last star that took a significant pay cut like this? Duncan? Dirk? Lebron with Mike Miller? KD and Kyrie with DAJ?
so humble and unselfish
The media won’t give him credit until after he wins… that’s how it works for everyone. He doesn’t have it worse than 2010 Dirk for example.
Because the point of a pay cut is to get better teammates *and then lead them to a championship* (well, in this case be the second option).
Sounds like big problems in Philly
Whatcha want me to do? Suck him off?
Yea we can really tell you don’t care with how much you bring it up
Very selfless man. Bro is only getting $33 million a year.
Honestly the world needs more people like this. James “Gandhi” Harden is changing the culture.
“I don’t care about it, but I sure am gonna bring it up in this interview”
Spoiled millionaire. He would’ve had to have left if he wanted the bag. Plus no one was going to give it to him. See Kemba.
This guy has made hundreds of millions of dollars over the last decade and wants flowers for taking a few million less after playing like shit in the playoffs?
This is why agents get paid. Most players would just have their agents leak this so it doesn’t seem like they’re whining. Instead we get to roast Harden again.
Bro didnt deserve a bigger deal and is now going to act like he declined one.
Why don’t people congratulate me more for being so humble?
Wanting to be acknowledged for something immediately makes it not selfless. Bringing it up at all means you care about it.
Lol what a clown.
Edit – Thought he brought it up unprompted, not that he was responding to a question.
Hey everybody look how fuckin selfless I am
He doesn’t deserve a max anymore
Dude signed for MORE guaranteed money then had his agent put out a fluff article to make him seem selfless.
If he don’t care why should we?
Harden doesn’t have that dog in him.
Well I’m sure he would get credit if the Sixers win a title
I mean he clearly cares a little bit
whenever someone says they ‘don’t care’, they definately care
So humble.
As a76ers fan I loved it but I don’t wanna see him asking for credit for it😂😭
I think Harden will bounce back. I think a lot of it is shot selection with regards to 3 PT.
It’s not like her brought it up unprompted, the reporter asked him about it. Honestly it feels like the type of thing to ask if you’re looking for a quote to take out of context for click bait. So it worked out well if that’s what they were going for lol.

Bro are you even a top 15 player in the League anymore?
Classic bitch from Philly trying to be relevant by shitting on the Celtics. Enjoy the second round exit you bum.
Hey, there’s [a song about this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzUKcXxbU4U).
The thing about Harden that’s so impressive is how infrequently he mentions all of his successes.
Somehow this dude avoided the majority of the hate for choking *yet again* in the playoffs. The classic 2/11 and he looked slow asl
I don’t care if embiid is hurt. The fact that r/nba keeps being delusional thinking he’s a top 10-15 player is beyond me
lol, dude does something for his team once and he wants credit? He hasn’t even played a full season as a Sixer, da fuq this clown want.
“I gave up 275801 lap dances to play here and Philly fans don’t appreciate my sacrifice.” -J. Harden
“Please clap”
>Posting this now so some dishonest user with a Celtics flair doesn’t try and act like we have a problem
Are y’all ever *NOT* salty at us? Damn
My favorite “Is James Harden selfish?” stat: Harden is 3rd all time in 3 pointers made. He is not in the top 400 in 3 point percentage.
The thing is we all know the full max would be an extreme overpay for past results
Interviewer asks: “do you think you get enough credit for taking a pay cut?”
Harden: “I don’t think I have but that’s fine”
What is wrong with this exactly?
I mean what has Philly done since he signed?
But it sounds like he do?
