The philadelphia star 76ers Big Man Joel Embiid and James Harden created one of the best dynamic duets of the NBA when they were together.
But after almost two seasons together on the field, Embiid revealed that he no longer spoke with his former teammate.
“No one knows, but even James [Harden] I’m not talking about it, “said Espn in Espn in a long interview.” This is the part that I do not like to be “this guy”, because it puts you in the middle of these situations. Because if you ask James, he probably believes that I had something to do with the fact that he is not here. And I just say to myself: ‘I won the score title. You have won the title of aid. We had an unstoppable peak-And-Roll. ‘”

Embiid added: “It hurts when you feel like you didn’t do anything wrong. When you think you have a relationship like that with someone … you lose a lot.”

Harden joined the Sixers in 2022 after an exchange of bombs with the Brooklyn Nets sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first -round choices to the Big Apple. The Sixers were immediately considered as championship contenders with Harden and Embiid.
However, Philadelphia lost at the start of the NBA qualifiers, falling in the semi-final of the conference during consecutive seasons.

Embiid won his only Ligue MVP during the 2022-23 campaign, when he collected an average of 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Harden led the League in assists with 10.7 per game.
But after the team’s qualification race this season, Harden has become publicly dissatisfied with the 76ers, in particular the president of basketball operations Daryl Morey. Harden thought he had obtained a maximum team contract, and he asked for a job after Morey did not give one.

It has become uglier. Harden called Morey as a “liar”, saying that he “would never be an organization of which (Morey) party”.
Harden was then exchanged to the Clippers of Los Angeles.
