As said above, he has attracted a lot of scrutiny for his showings. Moreover, NFL legend Shannon Sharpe has joined the chorus. For the uninitiated, Sharpe, along with sports analyst/newscaster/supreme troll Skip Bayless co-hosts a show called ?Undisputed?.
There, they talk about the daily happenings occurring in the world of sports. When James Harden came up, both came to a rare agreement that he looked ?washed up?. Bayless commented on Harden?s social life thereafter. He stated, ?How many 4 am cheeseburgers you think James Harden has downed in his career??

Both Skip and Shannon are known for their outrageous takes. Shannon was a football player for the Denver Broncos and the Baltimore Ravens. He has often defended LeBron James on the show and calls him his ?GOAT?.
