Former Spurs guard Patty Mills hilariously roasts James Harden

Very like a overwhelming majority of San Antonio Spurs followers did way back, it seems to be like Patty Mills ran out of endurance with James Harden.

Mills joined the Brooklyn Nets at a time the place they have been thought of a championship favourite attributable to their lethal trio of Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving. Someplace alongside the best way, between the absences of Irving attributable to vaccine mandates and accidents, the Nets fell right down to eighth within the Japanese Convention regardless of a powerful begin to the yr.

It grew to become obvious because the commerce deadline was approaching that Harden was pulling one thing just like what he did with the Houston Rockets and basically quitting on his workforce within the hopes of a recent begin someplace else.

Harden was inactive for the eight video games resulting in the NBA All-Star break with a hamstring damage that everybody knew wasn’t really a factor for the final a number of video games. The following commerce swapping Harden for Ben Simmons led to a basic second within the All-Star draft, the place Charles Barkley commented about how Harden will magically be healed following the commerce.

The commerce was additionally undoubtedly a burden lifted off the shoulders of the Nets, together with Mills, who’s having a profession yr in Brooklyn.

“We’re in a extremely good place from a workforce standpoint proper now,” he stated throughout All-Star Weekend. “The locker room is nearer than it is ever been this season.”

After the commerce was finalized, Patty’s response was much more blunt.

Better of all, nevertheless, was a clip that surfaced in a Twitter thread by person @mattinaq.

Additional down within the feedback of his tweet, he shares a clip of a time when Patty rushed to choose up James from the ground throughout a sport.

“Each time I assist him up on my own, that counts as a elevate,” Mills then informed Kevin Durant on the sideline.

Harden has a historical past of not sustaining a strict coaching routine, frequenting nightclubs in lieu of getting relaxation, and simply total being a major distraction when he is not glad in a scenario. Seeing even somebody as healthful and type as Patty Mills appear to tire of him tells me so much.

In his first press convention in Philadelphia, Harden’s assertion that he needed to play for guys who “need to win” appeared to insinuate his teammates in Brooklyn did not.

“When issues hit the fan, he needed out of there,” stated Tracy McGrady on TNT. “He needed out of there. He wasn’t damage. You do not rehab a hammy by doing stepbacks.”

It is robust to get on the dangerous aspect of somebody like Mills, however fortuitously for all concerned, James is now Philadelphia’s drawback to deal with. No less than Patty can get again to common lifting.
