Live Bar, September 14th news recently, 76 executives participated in The Takeoff podcasting program, during which they talked about player James Harden.
“What I want to say is that Harden’s performance is better than any player I have worked. Before his hamstring was injured, he was one of the most durable players in NBA history. In our game last year, he never said, ‘I am not 100% health’, because he would not give himself any excuse, especially during the playoffs, and he never wants his teammates or other teams to know that he is injured.” The 76-person president said when talking about Harden.
In order to win the championship, Harden also made great sacrifices. He gave up the player option of 47.4 million dollars, actively reduced his salary by 14.4 million dollars, and signed a two-year contract worth 68.6 million dollars with the team. “Harden did more than any star, but he took such a small salary. If he hadn’t been willing to reduce his salary and kept saying to Harrell, ‘Hey, let’s revive the magic of the past together! ‘We can’t bring Harrell here.” The 76-person president continued, “Harden did what Coach Rivers asked him to do from the moment he came here. Field goal percentage of all players in the team have been greatly improved due to his passing, and the overall level of the team has also been improved. Harden and enbede are the best block and split combinations, which not only reflected in the last season, but also in the next few years, which fully demonstrated Harden’s influence and ability to improve the strength of the whole team, and help us win the championship.” 76 executives said.
Harden played 21 games for 76 people in the regular season from 2021 to 22, with an average contribution of 21 points, 7.1 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 1.2 steals.
