Harden has played for the 76ers and has done very well in the last few games, but the topic of why Harden chose to leave the Nets is still a hot topic among fans.
According to SNY reporter Ian Begley, James Harden's fear of Irving's inability to play in a potential playoff series against the Raptors is one of the reasons to leave the Nets:
Due to the restrictions of the epidemic prevention regulations, Irving, who refuses to be vaccinated, cannot play at home to the Nets and Canada, so even if Harden did say that Irving's vaccine stance had a "very small impact" on his departure from the Nets, if Harden wants to impact the championship trophy, Irving is the biggest restriction on this Nets.
On the other hand, 76ers core wing Tobias Harris missed the team's shooting training due to non-COVID-19 vaccine problems, but the good news is that Harris will play the 76ers against the Cavaliers:
So far this season, Harris is the player who has averaged 18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game for the 76ers, and even though Harris' ball possessions and overall performance have been affected since Harden joined, he is still a very important part of the 76ers rotation.
Finally, Joel Embiid talked about how he differs from legendary center Shaquille O'Neal:
"I'm Joel Embiid, I don't play like O'Neal, but I can have an advantage in other areas. I can't use my body to dominate like he did, he's a monster and obviously he's a Hall of Fame player and one of the best players of all time. But I'm Joel Embiid, and I can dominate in other ways. ”
Even though both are historic centre-forwards, as Embiid has talked about, he and O'Neal have a completely different style of play and advantage.
