As the NBA playoffs slowly approach, basketball analysts and fans are discussing which players would benefit most from a championship run. Kevin Durant and Nikola Jokić seem like obvious choices, for different reasons, but Shaquille O’Neal thinks another player needs a ring even more than them this season.
The TNT analyst named Sixers point guard James Harden as the player with the most to prove during in the postseason this spring.
“James needs to win a championship,” O’Neal said on NBA on TNT Thursday night. “A lot of people think he doesn’t play well in the playoffs. What you gonna do Mr. Harden?”
