“Will Take LeBron James Any Day or Night Over What’s Left Of James Harden”: LeBron’s Biggest Critic Bashes 76ers All Star After Horrific Performance vs Heat

The Miami Heat have so far relished the contest at hand vs the Philadelphia 76ers. Game 1 ended with a convincing victory for the Heat against the 76ers who missed Joel Embiid badly. It was blow-out victory for the Heat as James Harden was off the rails and misfired, dropping a miserable performance for a player of his caliber and reputation.

The lead changed 4 times, and the game was equal to just twice. In the second half, the Heat were on the money. The first half ended 51-50 in the Philadelphia 76ers? favor, but the second half resurgence from the Heat was absolutely tremendous. Ending the third quarter with the lead of 9 points and the fourth with 6. The Heat in the end came away with a 106-92 win.

The performance of the Philadelphia 76ers was lackluster, to say the least. Whereas Miami Heat took full advantage and gave their home crowd a lot to celebrate about.?

Skip Bayless destroys James Harden after poor performance

Harden could only manage 16 points with 9 rebounds and 5 assists. From his high standards that he has proved he is capable of achieving in so many years before, that was a performance which puts the blame on him for the loss. Skip Bayless blasted the criticism about the same and also interestingly mentioned LeBron James in the conversation.

Despite his constant criticisms for LeBron James, Skip said that he would still pick the 37-year-old James over the 32-year-old James.

Skip said, ?This is year 13 for James [Harden]. Listen as much as I criticize your man LeBron James, he’s going into year 20 next season. I will take LeBron James any day or night over what’s left of James Harden. It ain’t even close, LeBron’s up here and James is down here. James [Harden] just looks ordinary to me, he looks like just another guy.?

?The phrase used to be back in the day ?washed up? but somehow LeBron James, master of the English language, has finally written off the ?up? as redundant. I guess because it’s just you’re just washed, you’re not washed up. Right, yes okay. So I accept that James Harden is officially washed,? He continued.

Skip was not finished and carried on the bashing of Harden, ?James Harden attempted all of four shots. he made one. he got to the free-throw line once and made both of those. ? That grand total for him in the second half, four points, when his team needed him the most without Joel Embiid, the superstar who is James Harden who used to be James Harden gave you four shots and four points. It’s not obviously enough, no. He was hiding from the pressure to produce and perform in the biggest game of the year for him.? If you think about it, Skip had a lot of valid points. However, probably he was way too hard on Harden with his word selection. There are still games in this series for Harden to prove himself and stand out for his team with a game winning performance.
