[Saba Sports News] Joel Embiid’s comments on the Philadelphia 76ers’ strong start subtly imply criticism towards James Harden’s time with the team.
Embiid praised the current team’s ego-free culture and unity, contrasting with the discord during Harden’s tenure, marked by his dissatisfaction and eventual trade to the Los Angeles Clippers. Embiid, leading the NBA in scoring, emphasized the Sixers’ collective focus and winning attitude, indirectly highlighting differences with Harden’s approach.
Meanwhile, Harden’s move to the Clippers, joining stars like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, hasn’t gone smoothly. The Clippers have lost all games since his arrival, indicating challenges in assimilating Harden into their lineup. Despite his MVP status, Harden is still adjusting to the new team dynamics.
The Clippers, with a talent-rich roster, are experiencing early struggles but remain optimistic about finding their rhythm as a unit.
