NBA fans were quick to react after Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden was spotted working on his fitness recently.
For the previous few seasons, James Harden has been the regular target of online satire. After the prior off-seasons, “The Beard” didn’t seem to be in the finest physical shape, and his performance on the field seemed to suffer as a result. Fans got quite interested in his overweight photos and how he controls his physical shape.
Harden’s first step was once the foundation of his game, but it didn’t seem to be as effective as it previously did. Due to his physical limitations from the previous season, he was reluctant to blast by his man and assault the lanes. A man who relied on acceleration and deceleration, Prime Harden. He was an expert in it. But every one of those weapons appeared to have been fired.
James Harden, though, suddenly seems to be on a mission. As seen by his ripped physique in the most recent off-season body transformation photos, he appears to be starting his road to redemption.
Harden went through some hard patches during the most recent NBA season. After being transferred from the Brooklyn Nets to the Philadelphia 76ers, he teamed up with Joel Embiid. But Harden received a lot of flak from Philadelphia fans for his subpar postseason performance. But he appears to be just as prepared as ever to ignite the league and bring back the Harden fans remember from his time with the Rockets.
It appears that James Harden is willing to do whatever it takes to win his first NBA title. Taking a $15 million wage reduction was the first of many sacrifices he would make. He asserted that he did so after speaking with Daryl Morey, in which he reportedly asked him to add additional players to the roster and provide him any leftover extra money.
What the Sixers have been lacking for a long time is Harden. He is, in fact, the perimeter shot creator and basket scorer they have been lacking since the Allen Iverson era. The 76ers supporters will be hoping for great things in the future as Harden appears to be in the greatest form of his life right now.
Harden’s dedication to capturing an NBA title is demonstrated by the amount of time he spends working out throughout the summer. However, the Beard was still made fun of by fans.
“He does this every year just to disappoint in the playoffs”, one fan reacted on Twitter. Another fan wrote, “That hamstring is still lasagna don’t get fooled”
Here are a few more tweets regarding his transformation:
