After Harden joined the 76ers, his feud with the Nets became the focus of media attention. Speaking at today's press conference, Harden said: "It's time for me to play with people who want to win. This sentence once again caused an uproar, and NBA star Maddy interpreted it.
While on a TNT show, Maddy said: "When you say you want to play with people who want to win, what are you implying? Nets players don't want to win? Really, that's how I feel. ”
"We all know that when he wanted to leave the Rockets, the 76ers were the first choice, but he went to the Nets anyway. And when he found out that the Nets were not right, he wanted to leave again, he went on strike, he wasn't injured, he just didn't want to do it, because you couldn't do a step-back jumper while you were still recovering from injury. ”
Apparently, Maddy didn't save Harden any face. He bluntly pointed out the fact that Harden was injured. In fact, it's not just Maddy who suspects Harden's injury, but many members of the Nets, including Durant, suspect Harden's injury! But Harden's MRI results showed that his hamstrings did have inflammation.
