James Harden at the club with Travis Scott after blowout

[ChampionRed]

Who cares what he does after the games?

[Saul Goodman]

I dont get the outrage on this. Its not like when Hedo Turkoglu called in sick for a game and was clubbing in Toronto. Guys in the 80s used to drink and smoke cigs in the locker rooms lol.

In a vacuum it’s fine.

I don’t think it’s a good look given his history and some of the comments surrounding the team (wasn’t Embiid talking about finally having others that wanted it or something?) but yeah, ultimately it’s whatever.

He deserves a bit of mockery, not a crucifixion

[Kent]

Philly will be just fine lol. Let him have fun.

That's not a random friend, that's Lorenzo McCloud who is like a brother to him. Harden, McCloud, DeRozan, Nipsey are all very close.

Like I said in the other thread, while recognizing Harden does not have a good track record of looking after his body like Kobe, Lebron, Giannis does as we've seen how Harden started his regular seasons underprepared multiple cases. Basketball is just a job to him, and he seems to reserve a big part of his life to others things outside of basketball, or simply put, just having fun. That's his personal choice. I don't think we should hold this against anything.

[Optms]

was he supposed to go home and cry?

Kobe would have been in the gym. Facts.

Don't even get me started with Jordan.

Yep, don’t care enough Harden to actually care but it’s silly for people to pretend they don’t understand why this is a thing. He’s been out of shape for two years now ffs. He isn’t getting that same benefit of the doubt.

First 60 million dollar a year player

[Pacernation]

Just fits into the narrativ that Harden doesn't really care that much. When you don't show up in one of the biggest games of the season with all the drama involved and after that you're partying like it's just another day at the office, it just looks bad. Fans want the players to care like they do. Maybe that's too much to ask but it is what it is. Maybe it's another little piece why most fans don't really like him..

[PrinceCliche]

Hopefully nobody died at this event.

Why would you say that?

Something I hate this board.

[seanbig]

Which strip club was this at?

[Ice Trae]

man enjoys his free time, oh the horror

[Modulate]

It's none of my business what players do after work.

Except in some cases they use taxpayer money to fund the billion-dollar stadiums... and they supposedly "represent" the cities they play in.

It kinda does matter.

You and your city get cucked financially while players like harden pop bottles in the club.

WTF.

You clearly have no idea how this works.

And you actually fixed your fingers to type the word "cucked", too. So, no surprise, I guess.
