This isn't remotely surprising to me. Kyrie has always been an abysmal teammate. KD is ok at best but he isn't a leader and he enabled Kyrie hard.

The problem with Harden has rarely ever been him being a bad teammate but him being a poor playoff performer.

Harden isn't a bad teammate but he is terrible leader. All those stories of him being late to every. Single. Team meeting/practice.

Thats also a big problem. The entire Nets trio were all awful leaders. And then on the Sixers Embiid and Harden were poor leaders and poor playoff performers.

Only the playoffs separate the true great ones and frauds.
