The Philadelphia 76ers ended their championship run on Sunday after falling short in game 7 of the semifinal series against the Boston Celtics. Notably, the Sixers faced their third game 7 exits in a row despite being one of the favorites of the league. Moreover, the team’s star player, James Harden, who ended the season with a disappointing performance, has been in the headlines for a potential trade to his former team. Meanwhile, a former Los Angeles Lakers star went viral after he attempted to pull Harden to the Taiwanese league, T1 League. 

The 10x NBA All-Star had a bumpy ride in the semifinal series. Despite dropping two 40+ pointer games, Harden displayed several underwhelming performances. Especially, the star dropped only 9 points in the crucial series decider. Moreover, a recent report from a senior NBA reporter revealed Harden’s intention to return to his former team.

Former Lakers star Dwight Howard, who currently plays in the T1 League, went viral after he poked several NBA stars in a video on Tuesday. Notably, Howard signed up for a $1 Million deal with a T1 League franchise in December 2022, as he remained a free agent after his stint with the LA team.

In the video, 8x NBA All-Star called out Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons, Julius Randle, Deandre Ayton, and Chris Paul for their poor run in the season. While he called out their names without any hesitation, he took a brief moment before naming James Harden.

While addressing Harden, he said, “James Harden come on down here too boy!” Interestingly, Howard seemed to acknowledge the growing trade rumors about The Beard.
