James Harden is used to having haters. But it seems like the hate-buzzards may be circling him a bit prematurely in the season’s early going.

Then we learned that James Harden was missing […]

Kevin Durant, James Harden and the Nets (4-3) squad will look to make it three in a row when they host the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday. The Nets may have been a couple of inches away from hosting Atlanta in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. As it played out, the Dirty Birds made it one […]

Dallas Mavericks head coach, Jason Kidd, gave his honest take on the NBA’s new foul rules, amid Luka Doncic’s slow start.

James Harden last won the NBA MVP in 2018 when he was suiting up for the Houston Rockets. However, his chances of replicating such success has been slowed down by the NBA’s new foul-baiting rules.

The James Harden haters were getting a little too comfy recently.

The Brooklyn Nets haven’t looked like the NBA title contender most people viewed them as before the start of the season.

With an offseason filled with more drama than the entire 17576475 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy, the Brooklyn Nets are still navigating their way in the early goings of the new season.

We’re only four games into the 2021-22 season, but Brooklyn Nets star James Harden is not playing up to the lofty standards the perennial MVP candidate has set for himself over the years.

Steve Nash knows James Harden is not yet at 100 percent after spending the summer recovering from his hamstring injury. For the Brooklyn Nets coach, however, this shouldn’t be a cause of concern.

It’s no secret that James Harden is one of the best three-point shooters the NBA has ever seen.
