WATCH: ‘He’s Completely Washed’ – James Harden Misfires Terrible Pass Straight to Commentator Leaving Fans in Splits

The James Harden era in Los Angeles did not have a great beginning. Since acquiring him, the Clippers have fallen to 0-3. Harden took part in two of those contests. With Harden in the starting lineup, the Clippers lost their games against the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks, 111-93 and 100-93, respectively.

In his first game for the Clippers against the Nets, he had a moment where he threw a ball or said he was passing it to his teammates but delivered it straight to the commentator—a hilarious moment that caught the attention of the fans. They surely lost the game by a big margin, and it became viral on social media. Ian Eagle had his moment where he got the game ball and called it “The Greatest call in NBA history.”

This is what Ian Eagle said:

That coming my way, unbelievable (holding the ball in his hand), I could see it from the beginning, and you take over my friend (addressing it to the match referee). That might have been the greatest call in NBA history. I knew it from the second it left his hand. Yup.

Even so, the LA Clippers fell short against the Nets. Nets supporters appeared to enjoy the show, at the very least. They even greeted Harden with a “Daryl Morey” chant upon his forced departure from the team in 2022. It referenced the Sixers president of basketball operations, whom Harden infamously called “a liar” and reportedly has no intention of speaking to ever again.

Fans react to James Harden losing the ball into the hands of Ian Eagle

The crowd erupted in “Daryl Morey” chants as the 10-time All-Star, who dropped his Monday night debut against the Knicks, attempted a free throw in the first quarter. Later in the second quarter, he made a hilarious pass that fell into the hands of Ian Eagle, the on-court commentator. Everyone caught the moment he threw such a pass, and tons of memes got the platform in X, earlier known as Twitter.

Everyone talked about the old James Harden coming to his prime again, which was hysterically funny as he could not perform well with the ball in his hands. Many of them called out James as completely washed. Check out some of the fan reactions:

With their performance, Los Angeles—which is currently 3-3 on the year—did not look like a legitimate championship contender. The Clippers’ offensive woes continued from Monday when Harden made his debut against the New York Knicks, and Harden’s integration is still far from complete.
