Irving! Harden only considers himself

4:20pm, 28 July 2025【Basketball】

Harden only considers that he has caused controversy when he speaks well, but he will lose more words. Irving's remarks on the live broadcast are no longer controlled. He first pointed the finger at Durant and refuted Durant's related remarks, which caused controversy. Now, he pointed the finger at Harden, saying that Harden's departure is considering his own interests.

That's how it is.

First talked about the exchange between Harden and Simmons, and Irving said it was extremely unfair.

He said: After we got the book, the team was under greater pressure. Because at that time, not only the team itself was in a lot of trouble, but also in a lot of situations. Everyone was staring at him and over-interpreting his every move. So, from the beginning that deal was unfair, totally unfair. I think that deal is unfair. But at the same time, after the deal was reached, Harden went to our team in the same division and he went to Philadelphia.

Irving explained: You know, we are opponents of the same division as Philadelphia, and they know everything about us. You play with a group of people for a season or two and you will definitely understand their habits and their strengths and weaknesses, which is for sure.

Then, when talking about Harden's decision to leave the Nets, Irving was a little "dissatisfied".

Irving said: I will never get angry because others have done what is most beneficial to me, right? I fully understand, and I especially understand the decision you made. I understand that the season is halfway through, and you are not sure about the situation on my side, nor do you know what will happen next in your career. Everything is happening, so it is normal for you to have questions. You will consider what kind of contract you can get, after all, we were all top-paid players at that time. Me, you and KD are all at the maximum salary level. We deserve the salary we are about to get, right?

That's what he said, which sparked heated discussion!

Irving is actually not qualified to put this matter on the table, because Harden is undeniable to do so!

Before this, Harden paid more than anyone else. It was a sacrifice to not come to the Nets with a Rockets' salary of 100 million yuan for two years. Then, in order to help the team, he went on the court with a hamstring injury, and finally took the blame. It was meaningless for Irving to say these words when he didn't play at the time.

In the opinion of the four yuan, among the three giants of the Nets, Harden should be the least blamed.

Irving was also very regretful about the failure of the Big Three to win the championship. He also talked about the most controversial incidents of stomping and foot-up incidents at that time. Irving said that if KD's foot had not stepped on the line and he would not be injured, perhaps the Nets would have been the champion at that time.

As we thought, if there were no such things back then, the Nets would have been the champion, undoubtedly the kind.
