It seems to have become the trending thing to hate Houston Rockets superstar James Harden. Harden constantly faces slander despite a large majority of the negative takes being erroneous. We constantly hear takes on how Harden doesn’t play defense, although that’s blatantly incorrect and we also hear about how he shrinks in the playoffs, even though that’s also not true.
It’s become clear that Harden is the villain of the NBA and none of his acts of greatness can change it. The latest example is Harden’s 60-point performance in the Houston Rockets’ last game on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks.
