Harden explaining why he didn’t win a championship during his Rockets days and that he’s done sacrificing after things didn’t work out in Brooklyn and Philly.

Harden/CP3/Capela had a 42-3 record when they played together during the 2017-2018 season.
Next generation of kids won’t know just how good that team was cause they didn’t win a championship.
One of the best teams of this century.
The best fit for LeBron depends on what he wants. If he wants to compete for a championship, playing with Harden and Mitchell gives him the best chance to win ring number 5.
Cavs can then use free agency and assets they get from a Mobley trade to upgrade the bench and surround that big 3 with the right pieces.
Kyrie never got the recognition and credit he deserved during his time in Cleveland. Especially for the 3-1 comeback. He hit one of the most iconic shots in finals history and played a big part but some people make it seem like LeBron did it on his own.
KD is in the top 5 in all-time points in NBA history and has attempted the 11th most field goal attempts.
The other four players in the top 5 in all-time points are also in the top 5 in field goal attempts.
Shows you how insane KD’s efficiency is compared to the other greats.
Mavs already gave the Lakers the blueprint on the type of supporting cast Luka needs. Them being interested in signing 37 year old Kevin Love makes zero sense.
Harden’s PPG in his final 3 full seasons with the Rockets
2017-2018: 30.4 PPG
2018-2019: 36.1 PPG
2019-2020: 34.3 PPG
Had arguably the greatest scoring peak in history.
Crazy how Giannis got eliminated in the 1st round 3 years in a row from 2023-2025 and then missed the playoffs last season and yet he faces no criticism at all for that.
Realistically it’s either the Lakers or the Cavs for LeBron. Cavs roster is a better fit and he can finish his career where it started.
Cavs make the most sense.
DeMar DeRozan on Rockets Harden:
“Kobe is my GOAT… but what’s real is real. The sh*t James was doing, I don’t think we’ll ever see that again.”
