Never forget that the Sixers traded James Harden away because they didn’t want to commit to him long-term and instead chose Paul George…
It’s 2026, and James Harden has made the Conference Finals, and Philly has yet to do so. 😬
Shai on what makes winning MVP in OKC different than anywhere else:
"There's been 4 MVPs in the last 12 years to come through this building and I don't think that's a coincidence. There's a reason why you have success when you come through this program" 💯

“What are we doing man? It’s Sunday Shams. Go to brunch you nerd. C’mon.”

Jayson Tatum in elimination games excluding G7 versus Miami, where he got hurt:
27.3 PPG (leads NBA)
8.6 RPG
6.0 APG
1.1 SPG
1.1 BPG
44/38/84%
He’s 11-5 in that span… nobody in the association is better in do-or-die situations 🍀
James Harden is expected to sign a multi-year deal with the Cavaliers this summer, regardless of the outcome of this playoff run, per @WindhorstESPN
Seems like Harden wants to retire in Cleveland 👀
Dylan Harper’s rookie postseason:
13.7 PPG | 5.1 RPG | 2.2 APG | 1.2 SPG
57% FG | 38% 3PT | 86% FT
Jayson Tatum’s rookie postseason:
18.5 PPG | 4.4 RPG | 2.7 APG | 1.2 SPG
47% FG | 32% 3PT | 85% FT
Both came into similar situations, safe to say Dylan Harper will be a stud for a long time… ⭐️
