James Harden introduced himself as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. The Sixers then proceeded to show why they need a player like James Harden.
The former Brooklyn Nets star, who joined the Sixers in the blockbuster Ben Simmons swap at the trade deadline, met with the media and addressed a number of elephants in the room, most notably his relationship with the team he more or less forced his way out of.
He started by indicating he never actually wanted to go the Nets in the first place, or at least that he didn't have a choice in the matter last season.
