James Harden is keeping receipts. After he forced his way from the 76ers to the Clippers and got off to a sluggish start this season, the 34 year old Harden was the subject of much criticism and ridicule. But the Clippers are now 21 12 after rebounding from a 3 7 start, having won four in a row and 13 of their last 15 games.
Following the Clippers’ 131 122 win over the Suns in Phoenix on Wednesday night, Harden had some feisty words for his critics. “Obviously, it didn’t start off well,” Harden told reporters after the game. “It gave people so much to talk about in a negative way. And now those people that was talking, they’re nowhere to be found.
Like literally nowhere to be found. You knew this was gonna happen. You know what I mean?” Harden was coming off a performance in which he had 22 points and 11 assists.

The most prominent case of Harden criticism came in November when Mavericks studio analyst Brian Dameris eviscerated the Clippers guard , garnering millions of views on social media.
“I get on my knees every night and pray for someone to believe in me like Daryl Morey believed in you,” Dameris began his rant, talking about the Sixers executive who Harden also played for in Houston and called a liar when an allegedly promised max contract extension failed to materialize this past offseason.
He added, “You wanted to go to Vegas on off days, they looked away. You wanted the team to stay over so you could go out at night, they changed the schedule, and it didn’t work.” “You’re not the Beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem,” Dameris concluded. The Mavericks’ broadcast partner, Bally Sports Southwest, eventually deleted the clip of the rant..
