James Harden Seemingly Says He Never Wanted To Be In Brooklyn

James Harden, where Brooklyn at?

The NBA superstar held his first press conference with the Sixers, and he had some interesting comments about his former team.

As Harden explained, Philly was his first choice last season as he was looking to leave the Houston Rockets.

“The last year has been a lot of ups and downs, a lot of stress,” Harden explained.

Harden then went on to talk about his partnership with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Harden admits it could have been great, however, they were only ever able to play a total of 16 games together, which simply wasn’t enough.

“Me, Kyrie, and KD on the court and winning covers up a lot of that stuff. It was unfortunate that we only played 16 games,” Harden said.
