Former Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers revealed it was ‘challenging’ to coach superstar guard James Harden.
The 76ers enjoyed a solid 2022-23 regular season with Joel Embiid linking with Harden effectively to lead the franchise to a 54-28 record and the third seed in the Eastern Conference. With Harden operating as the primary ball-handler, Embiid went on a tear and claimed his first NBA MVP award.
However, Philadelphia’s season came crashing down in the second round of the playoffs. The 76ers blew a 3-2 series lead to fall to the Boston Celtics as the franchise’s wait for an NBA championship continues.
