James Harden rants over his £12.5m paycut as NBA star complains he doesn't get 'credit'

Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden has complained that he 'doesn't get enough credit' for taking a near $14million (£12.5m) paycut to remain with the NBA side.

Harden left the Brooklyn Nets last season in dramatic style and moved to Philadelphia to boost his chances of achieving NBA success. The 33-year-old initially signed a two-season deal, but has agreed to new terms on a reduced salary basis.

The 76ers star would have picked up roughly £42.5m this season, but opted to sign a new short-term deal instead to allow the side to have more flexibility in the free agency market. But in an unprovoked rant, Harden has taken aim at those not showing him credit.
