A recent no-pressure statement by Philly’s star guard James Harden had stunned the entire NBA universe and earned a lot of criticism from Shannon Sharpe who believes that the Sixers marquee is acting irresponsibly.

We all know how great a player James Harden is in the field of basketball, whenever his team needs a quick scoring from mid or outside the field goal, he without any hesitation with his quick step back and separation techniques scores it for them. But according to Harden, the playoffs will be the no different thing he will do the same thing for the team that he was doing all season.

After the 76ers team practice session, James Harden was interviewed by ESPN’s Tim Bontemps where he said, “Pressure, no. I feel good, I’m ready to hoop. There’s nothing to it.”

Well, his statement might pump up the team but when we go deep into the records it doesn’t seem that Harden is the guy who can deal with the pressure. The former MVP has played 137 playoff games across his career where he has averaged 23.3 points and 6.0 assists. Although these are some good numbers when we look more deeply into the history, we find that most of his high scoring games come in low stake games which covers his bad performance in the high-stake games this was even pointed about by Zach Lowe in his recent podcast.

Moreover, when the whole world is criticizing an NBA player there is no doubt that the Undisputed crew will hold back from it. In the recent episode of the podcast, show host, Shannon Sharpe lashed out at James Harden for his risky comment. He said, “How can you not feel the pressure when you know what’s expected? The Sixers thought you were the missing piece. They shipped out 3 guys to bring you in.”

Sharpe pointed out that the Philadelphia 76ers brought him to fill the missing piece for winning the championship for the franchise and if Harden doesn’t feel the pressure that means he is not taking the situation seriously as a team. This has become a real risky comment for the beard star, from here if he fails to bring glory for the Sixers, we can imagine how hard the time and question will be there in front of him.
