The NBA playoffs have been a controversial time on both coasts. The West Coast has seen some stomping and suspensions, while the East has seen flagrant fouls and surprise round-one exits. However, the talk of Philadelphia has been none other than James Harden of the 76ers and his killer performance against the Celtics in game one. However, his performance also came with a lot of drama. And other Philly athletes like Jason Kelce from Philadelphia Eagles have commented on this drama.
In the past, Harden has been rumored to make some expensive appearances at strip clubs and wild parties. Furthermore, even before the second round of the playoffs, the Beard was rumored to be squandering his time of rest and practice in Sin City. However, after his amazing performance, Kelce had nothing negative to say about it.
