This NBA veteran believes LA Clippers star James Harden would be an NBA champion if not for the Golden State Warriors
LA Clippers star James Harden was one of the best players in the NBA at his peak. Winning three-straight scoring titles with the Houston Rockets, Harden also led his team to two Western Conference Finals appearances .
Houston lost to the Golden State Warriors in both of their Conference Finals appearances during the Harden era, also losing to Golden State in the 2016 first round and 2019 Western Conference semifinals. While Harden is often criticized for not having an NBA championship, he and the Rockets ran into the Warriors during the peak of their dynasty. Golden State won the Western Conference each year from 2015 to 2019, winning the NBA championship in 2015, 2017, and 2018 before winning again in 2022.In a recent post on X, 12-year NBA veteran Evan Fournier claimed Harden would be an NBA champion if not for Golden State.
In a post translated from French to English by X, Fournier wrote, “I understand. I think that if Harden doesn't fall on the GSW cheat code team for 3 years he ends up NBA champion and then we talk about him differently.” Je comprends. Je pense que si Harden tombe pas sur la team cheat code de GSW pdt 3 ans il finit champion NBA et la on parle de lui differement🤷🏽♂️This is a very fair assessment, as Harden is far from the only player who was kept from a ring by Golden State’s dynasty. Hoping to win one with the Clippers, Harden re-signed with LA this offseason.Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
