Ramona Schellburn, the talk of the NBA offseason has been the disintegration of the relationship

between James Harden and his team at the 76ers, but if this is the low point, I'm wondering

what you would say was the high point for the Sixers and the Peer.

You know, I saw him in Los Angeles in January.

The Sixers came through town and it was like everybody was saying all the things they're

supposed to say.

Joel and Bede was beasting people and he was saying, oh, but Harden is setting me up.

I have to give credit to my teammates.

Now, I want to get too much credit, you know, all go so on, it's been amazing since he's

been a fellow, you know, just making everybody better, including myself included.

And James Harden actually had kind of a bad game.

One of the nights I saw him, he really didn't get involved in scoring.

He was sort of just running the offense and you'd expect like, this is the moment where

he'd be kind of outing or somebody who was not happy would say, oh, man, I only took

six shots.

And he was fine.

He basically just was like, look, I sacrifice to come back here this year and take less

in this contract.

I am willing to sacrifice my role on offense because I have never won before and this

is what we need to do to win and we got the win tonight.

He was hitting that sacrifice script to a tee, but there was something that stuck with

me and it was just the way that he talked about, obviously, I can do more scoring.
