The Philadelphia 76ers are having a good run so far this season. The team is currently holding onto the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference with Joel Embiid and James Harden in the lead. Embiid is having an MVP season with 33.5 points per game and 9.9 rebounds per game. Though fans believe Embiid is carrying the Sixers, Harden is also playing a crucial role with his passing. Harden’s controversial comments on the fans have caught the attention of NBA fans recently.
In addition to the comment on the fans, a recent report of the two-time MVP wanting to join his former team Houston Rockets has got all eyes watching him.
