James Harden has been the talk of the town in this off-season. With his partner, Russell Westbrook able to sneak out of the franchise, Harden did everything possible for him to meet the same fate. But that was not to be the case. Houston Rockets’ brought in John Wall in the hopes of making him the ideal pair of James Harden. After Harden played his first pre-season game for the Rockets, it seemed like the controversy had caught up with him.

Harden was fat-shamed on Twitter, suggesting he looks like Kendrick Perkins. Gaining almost 30 pounds, the last thing Harden wanted would be his scoring skills to take a toll. In a recent media interaction when Harden was asked what he was doing in Miami and Las Vegas all this while. The player had an iconic response to the question.

There is absolutely no doubt in saying that Harden was not the same as the last-season playoffs. With gained weight, his movement seemed to be a little more sluggish. He even did not score fluently, with this being his first appearance one cannot entirely blame Harden. Yet he managed to score 2 buckets from downtown and registered 12 points against his name in yesterday’s win over San Antonio Spurs. 

Houston Rockets’ have looked a more cohesive team with John Wall leading. The veteran has been impressive since his first match start with the franchise. Given that there have been many partners been taken away from Harden during his time with the Rockets. First Howard, followed by CP3 and lastly Westbrook. It remains to be seen that if Harden manages to stay in Houston, will he be finally able to deliver the ultimate with John Wall by his side.
