O'Neal on Harden's failed championship race again: every choice is wrong
In the world of basketball, the controversy over Harden is never-ending. There is no doubt about his individual ability, but Harden has always been stuck in a bottleneck on the road to a championship. Retired NBA superstar O'Neal has given his opinion on Harden's failure, saying that Harden has made the wrong decisions on every key choice.
First, the first wrong choice O'Neal pointed out was Harden's choice to leave the Thunder for the Rockets. While with the Thunder, Harden partnered Durant and Westbrook and the team had good results. At the time, the Thunder had a young and excellent roster with unlimited potential. However, Harden chose to go to the Rockets for a bigger opportunity, which O'Neal considered to be a bad decision.
Secondly, another wrong choice that O'Neal mentioned was Harden joining the Nets. The Nets have a strong combination, including Durant and Irving, whose talent and ability could have been invincible. However, the addition of Harden has left the team's roster too reliant on individual ability and lost the balance it should have. O'Neal believes this option will only push the team deeper into a predicament.
Finally, the third wrong choice mentioned in O'Neal's point is that Harden is too focused on personal records and data. While Harden is an excellent scorer, he tends to ignore the interests of the team as a whole when pursuing individual performances. In key matches, over-reliance on Harden's individual offense was easily limited by opponents, leading to defeat after defeat on their way to a championship.
O'Neill's views sparked a wide range of discussions. He believes that Harden has failed to make smart decisions on every critical choice, pursuing too much individual accolades and neglecting the importance of teamwork. These bad choices not only led to his own failures, but also missed the opportunity to form a top team with other superstars.
Regardless, Harden's career remains fraught with controversy and adoration. His individual ability and technical excellence are impressive, but it remains to be seen whether he will be able to make the right choices in the future, putting the interests of his teammates and the team first, and truly achieving greatness.
Regardless of whether Harden's decision is right or wrong, basketball will always be a team sport. Individual brilliance is only part of the team's success, and true glory and glory can only be achieved through collective cooperation and teamwork. Hopefully, Harden can learn from his past experiences, choose his basketball path wisely, and work tirelessly to compete for a championship.
