Last week, Dallas Mavericks analyst Brian Dameris took shots at James Harden on Bally Sports, claiming the NBA star was the “problem” everywhere he played.
Speaking to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, Harden expressed his stance, saying, “I didn’t even hear exactly what he said, but people were telling me he was going in on me.”
Harden continued, “He doesn’t know me or the situation. That would be f—ed up if I went at him and started being disrespectful to him, but I can’t.”
Despite the criticism, Harden remains unfazed, emphasizing, “I do a really good job at ignoring the noise because it doesn’t affect me. It’s just people talking.”
The Clippers’ player noted the speculative nature of such critiques, stating, “They don’t know anything. They just go off what they see on social media or hearsay.”
Undeterred, Harden affirmed his focus on success, saying, “I guarantee that if you put whoever is talking in this situation, it wouldn’t be beneficial for them. That’s my mindset, but my focus is getting wins.”
