When James Harden joined the Brooklyn Nets, there was a question of roles, usage, responsibility, and positions. According to Kyrie Irving, he told Harden to run point, and declared himself the two guard. What this tells us about his fit with Luka is positive, but you may have also noted something else about the anecdote just mentioned. Kyrie and Harden didn’t last.
We know the ramifications of getting involved with Kyrie. Worst of all is antisemitism, and trailing far behind are, in no particular order–contrarianism, a kind of faux-spiritual hipsterdom, toxic flakiness, ego, quitting on his team, and a chronic willingness to not play NBA games.
