James Harden Has a Message for People Who Hate his Game

James Harden is not about the haters.

James Harden definitely has his own unique style of play. The bearded one has led the league in scoring three times and he’s also led the league in assists before as well while winning MVP back in 2018, so he has a message to everybody who gives him a bad reputation.

Harden doesn’t care what people have to say.

“I don’t care what people say,” Harden stated. “Honestly, I really, like, don’t care at all. I know how skilled and the work I put in to be one of the best basketball players. Nothing was given to me. I wasn’t one of the best basketball players growing up. I had to work every single day to be in the position I am today. So there’s nothing that somebody can tell me about my game. I put the work in, I go out there and produce, and I try to be the best teammate that I can be every single night. Simple as that.”

The Beard is mentioned as one of the top 75 players to ever play the game, and even though he’s ringless, he’ll go down as one of the NBA best scorers.

“Basically what I just mentioned, man,” said Harden. “It’s like a kid growing up, trying to figure out what to do in basketball, something that I fell in love with. I wasn’t the most athletic or explosive guy. I just tried to work my way every single day and now, I’m in a position where I am today. I’m still not complacent. I’m still not comfortable.”

“Once it’s all said and done, I’m not able to play no more, I want to be up there with the best to ever do it,” he finished. “Top 75 is a great start.”

Harden is currently playing his ass off in Philly, and you can see just how good he can be when his heart is into it.

If he can get even one ring he’ll be a forever legend.
