Speaking with Michael Scotto<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, James Harden<\/span><\/span><\/strong> reflected on his time with the Brooklyn Nets<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, a period filled with expectations, setbacks and unanswered questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome great memories. We had an opportunity to do something special. Me personally, I was injured. That was like the first time in my entire career that I wasn\u2019t able to stay on the court and be effective like I can be and like I am. In that part, it was a little frustrating, but some great experiences for those two years. Obviously, it was Covid, so the world was in a crisis, but this organization has helped me and I appreciate them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Harden also addressed the idea that the Nets\u2019 trio with Kevin Durant<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and Kyrie Irving<\/span><\/span><\/strong> represents one of the greatest \u201cwhat ifs\u201d in NBA history.<\/p>\n
