James Harden spoke Saturday about his time with the Brooklyn Nets. 'Just a lot of dysfunction.” 'I don’t look like the guy or the quitter or whatever the media want to call me.' More ⤵️
, Harden was asked whether there was anything the team could have done to keep him in Brooklyn.
He responded: “Yeah, there was, like, a lot of things. But it was just a lot of dysfunction. Clearly. But it was a lot of internal things that I’m not going to ever just say, put in the media or anything. And that was one of the reasons why I chose to make my decision. But now, fast forward to date, I don’t look like the crazy one.”Continuing his response Harden added, “I don’t look like the guy or the quitter or whatever the media want to call me.
Harden declined to answer a question about whether his decision to leave was related to Irving, saying, “The reason I made that decision to get out of my comfort zone, which was leave Houston and do everything that I did to get out of there, was to come in and play with KD and Kyrie. And with that being said, that didn’t happen as much as I would like to or probably the organization wanted to. It was just something where I knew it wasn’t going to change.
“It was a lot,” Harden said. “But I enjoyed my time obviously playing with KD and Kyrie for those games. There’s a lot of possibilities of what could’ve happened. But it’s part of life. Move on, and I’m sure having everybody’s in a better place, a good place. And here we are.”While Harden may be looked at as a quitter in the eyes of Nets fans for years to come , his decision to leave first has aged well.
Harden has his own contributions to the Nets’ mediocrity, including his inability to stay healthy and early exit, but he’s looked to have gained a step of his game back in Philadelphia this season. While he declined to go into the specifics of his departure, it’s worth wondering how much Irving’s decision to not get vaccinated factored in compared to others in the organization. —Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs.
