James Harden to make 76ers debut vs. Timberwolves next week

CAMDEN, N.J. — James Harden has an MVP and several scoring titles on his mantle — and now he's ready to add a championship trophy.

Harden was introduced by the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday following last week's blockbuster trade that sent disgruntled guard Ben Simmons to the Brooklyn Nets.

Asked if his new team can win the NBA title, Harden put up the shot all Sixers fans wanted to hear.

"Hell yeah," he deadpanned. "My job is to help the team win a championship."

In 12 seasons with Oklahoma City, Houston and Brooklyn, the 32-year-old Harden has made 10 All-Star teams, won the 2018 MVP and earned three scoring titles.
