Rockets Announcer Goes Viral for James Harden Comment During Broadcast

Houston we have a problem. The James Harden drama continues to persist, as there’s no immediate trade in his future. So for now, James stays and plays.  That doesn’t mean the Rockets faithful have forgiven him. At one point during their preseason game, announcer Bill Worrell took a shot at Harden during the broadcast.

Listen below:

Funny to hear Bill Worrell say “who needs James Harden?” after Christian Wood goes coast to coast.

Sounds like Bill Worrell speaks for the entire city of Houston.

Harden has to understand his antics aren’t very funny to Rockets fans.
