While James Harden is going through a complex period with the Philadelphia Sixers, Shaquille O’Neal is asking for a little more shooting effort from the point guard.
James Harden’s adventure among the Philadelphia 76ers doesn’t go as well as he expected. Indeed, if he has taken very good first steps in his new franchise, the leader is going through a very complicated period. In his last 5 games, The Beard only once exceeded 20 points, and the opposition to the Toronto Raptors seems to be too much for Shaquille O’Neal. In 39 minutes, the 32-year-old grabbed 4 rebounds and dished out 15 assists, but only scored 13 points, 3/12 shooting, a poor performance that is hard to pass for the former pivot of Los Angeles Lakers.
“He has to play at the superstar level that we know he is capable of.”
For the show Inside The NBA chain TNT, Shaquille O’Neal reacted to the last performance of James Hardenwhich he does not seem to be satisfied with. “I don’t know if he can turn it around, I just know he has to play at the superstar level that we know he is capable of. 15 assists is cool, but you can’t shoot 3/12. I need 6 points per quarter from him. It’s easy, it’s 3 layups and 2 3-pointers. 6 points per quarter is 24 points. Another 6-7 points, with Embiid rolling over everyone, now you’re talking about an unstoppable team” dropped the NBA legend, according to comments relayed by Let’s talk basketball.
