James Harden wasn’t a part of the Philadelphia 76ers’ Media Day.
The former MVP is once again looking to bail and force his way out of his current team, which would be the fourth time in the past five years he’s done so.
That’s why Stephen A. Smith called him out on the latest edition of his podcast.

The renowned pundit stated that Harden is acting like a child.
He pointed out the fact that Daryl Morey was the one who got him to the Houston Rockets and the same guy who spoon-fed him everything he wanted and needed to become a scoring champion and an MVP.
And while he didn’t want to defend Morey, he claims that Harden is looking more petulant and unreliable right now, mostly because he’s once again looking to leave a team.
Smith believes it’ll come to a point where, regardless of how good a player he is, teams simply won’t want to take a chance on him.
Truth be told, no NBA team should have any sort of incentive to give up anything for James Harden, and that doesn’t have anything to do with his impact on the court.
Harden has failed to fulfill his contract obligations with three different franchises now, all while having a grand total of zero NBA championships to show for that.
He hasn’t even been back to the NBA Finals since his no-show vs. the Miami Heat, and it’s hard to think of a team desperate enough to meet Daryl Morey’s asking price for him.
