Stephen A. Smith Issues Warning to James Harden About his Partying

It’s no secret that Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden is a guy who loves strip clubs.

James is all about enjoying life outside of basketball.

However, when Harden struggled the way he did in Thursday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets and then he goes out to party with rappers Lil Baby and Travis Scott, it’s an absolute terrible look.

After scoring only 11 points on 3-for-17 shooting, Harden went out to a birthday party with the two rappers and he received some backlash for it. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith issued a warning to Harden over his partying ways.

“I know this city. They love you. They appreciate the fact that you are not Ben Simmons, but make no mistake when you play like you played the other night, you can not be seen out partying that night like it meant no big deal to you because the city, I can assure you, it was a big deal to them and be careful James Harden be very, very careful”

Harden has a lot to prove after now being on his 3rd team in such a short span.

He has a reputation of coming up small in big games as this doesn’t help with his party perception.

Dude needs to win something first, then hit the strip clubs.
