James Harden hit back at his critics following the Philadelphia 76ers ' victory over the Brooklyn Nets in round one of the NBA Play-Offs.
After a less than ideal preparation for the post-season last year, Harden is fresh off a full season in Philly and became the assists champion for the second time in his career. On Saturday, ‘The Beard’ scored 23 points to go with 13 dimes and four rebounds as his side cruised to a 121-101 win at the Wells Fargo Center in game one.
Since Harden moved to the ‘City of Brotherly Love’, some have questioned whether he is still good enough to play a starring role on a team contending for a championship. Responding to the doubters, he hit back: "Been doing it for a very long time at the highest level so, it's pretty easy. I don't make the right decisions all the time, I'm not perfect as much as I want to be.
