WATCH: James Harden Persuades Teammate To Get Out Of His Press Conference

The 22 teams are indulging in intense practice sessions ahead of the NBA restart. The players will be stepping on the court after a four-month plus break when the season resumes. Hence, certain players will be immensely focused on getting back to the top of their game and James Harden is one among them. And he doesn’t want his teammates to lose minute focus too! 

Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks posted a video on twitter capturing a restless James Harden watching his teammate attend a presser. Apparently, the Rockets had to stop by and answer a few questions before they could enter practice. 

Harden clearly wasn’t entertained by this and began demanding his teammate Austin Rivers to get done with his press conference soon.  Harden can be visibly seen urging Rivers to come out of the video call and can be heard whispering, “We gotta practice.”

James Harden looks like he has immensely set his focus on playing ball and picking up his game right where he left off. ‘The Beard’ averaged a massive 34.4 points per game prior to the season’s suspension. If he carries the same form to the playoffs without letting it dip, the Rockets will certainly enjoy great success under Harden’s leadership. 

James Harden and his respect for Allen Iverson

Recently, Reebok and Adidas collaborated to honor two of the most talented NBA players, James Harden and Allen Iverson. They released a new sneaker named Question Mid Iverson x Harden “OG Meets OG,” and the design looks absolutely stunning. 

Moreover, Reebok released an amazing video where we can see Harden and Iverson having a brief conversation with each other. Harden revealed how he feels like Iverson paved the way for everything that he is currently experiencing. 

“I feel like everything I’m going through right now is what you went through, just a newer version,” Harden said. “Criticism, negative energy, negativity. ‘Why does he do this? ‘Why does he do that?’ 

“I’m not here to explain myself or try to get people to understand where I come from, or what I do, or why I do it. I’m a killer, I work my ass off,” he continued. “Maybe when I’m retired, maybe when I’m done and gone, it’ll catch up to you.”
