On February 11, Beijing time, the Nets officially reached a deal with the 76ers, and the Nets traded James Harden and Paul Millsap to the 76ers, replacing Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond with two first-round picks.
Harden got his wish and teamed up with Embiid, and the two will form the strongest duo in the East and continue to rush towards the championship. After Harden joined the 76ers, fans were concerned about his jersey number.
He has worn the number 13 shirt since Harden entered the league, but the 76ers' number 13 jersey, which once belonged to Chamberlain, has been retired early by the team. Harden could only choose the new jersey number to play, and he ultimately chose the number 1.
Previously, the 76ers' No. 1 jersey belonged to Chuang Shen. But in this trade, Chuang Shen was sent to the Nets, and Harden finally put on the No. 1 shirt he left behind. In the history of the NBA, many top players have worn the No. 1 jersey, such as "Big O", Maddy, Billups and so on.
