On February 18, Beijing time, according to US media reports, NBA star Shaq O'Neal commented on James Harden's decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers.
O'Neill said: "Harden has to realize that this is Embiid's team, because this season we have to put this big man at the top of the team.""
"Embiid is going to dominate the game, I can take over the game anytime and anywhere because I'm Harden, but I have to make sure it's you who dominate, before I got to this team, Embiid averaged close to 30 points per game, but I have to make sure that after I come, you can still get the same points, if you're not on the court, or when you're tired, I can take over the game."
"I had a similar conversation with Kobe Bryant before this, and I said to him, you give me the first two quarters, and then you take over the last two quarters. However, Harden must play with Embiid, and if he comes up and throws a three-pointer directly, Embiid can't touch the ball, it will definitely not work."
"If they do as I say, then they can do well, and if they don't do it, then it won't be too good."
Now, after Harden came to the 76ers, many people are optimistic that they won this pair, so can Harden help the 76ers achieve a breakthrough in the playoffs? Let's wait and see!
