I love how Chuck says "first of all" on his second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth points
They did a segment on this a while back, i think they figured out since they started the show he’s gotten to second of all 4 times
It's a lazy way of dismissing the other person's point. It means my opinion before all.
😂😂
Right 😂
I was laughing at that. Love chuck
He quit on Houston, quit on Brooklyn..who here is surprised he’s quitting on Philly?!?
Apparently Kenny is smh
And he really thinks he's gonna get his way for a 3rd time and get traded to Clippers. He wants to go to LA, I'd trade him to a team on East coast like Toronto or Charlotee lol
No thanks. Raptors are good.😂
@@Annapurna818😂😂 yea, sorry. We just need to find him a home 😂
He quit Houston, cuz they were gonna rebuild , obviously a player of his caliber shouldn't be on a rebuilding team ?
If I were any owner or GM, I would avoid Harden like the plague. Good offense, zero defense, complete distraction, unreliable.
Even his offense these days is hit or miss even when he's on the floor
Trade that man to the Bob cats or Raptors,don't send that man to where he wants to go. He doesn't deserve it
@@vinnycannoli4721, 11, and 6 a game doesn't seem very hit or miss. Say what you want about him off the court, but what you're saying is just ignorant
The Bob cats don't even exist. The guy above wants harden traded back to the past just to send him to the worst team ever.
@@oneskillpoint4669literally he will get melo treatment, everything ge did on his prime will bite him back now thats he is old
"They got Nick Nurse out here looking like an idiot" - Chuck!!
HILARIOUS 😆😅😂🤣😭!!
That is the new "The Lakers Stink" or "The Lakers are awful"
I'm from Toronto I disagree bigtime !
@@andrerobberts6892 With what 🤔??
@@andrerobberts6892they aren't saying he is an idiot, they are saying the James harden situation paints him out that way. It's just a hard situation to win
I’m 100% with Charles…. “Let’s just skip work to 10 days and it’s all good, no consequences”
his mom was sick. Wiggins took a month off to be with his family member when they was sick but yall jus wanna keep hating on harden 😂
@@jackyjamesjeffersonjamaljohnso says who? None of the national people said it. Woj, Shams, and Haynes have been all over the whole Harden situation but never tweeted about his mother being sick? Nick Nurse was asked both while Harden was gone and when he came back and both times he said he didn't know what was going on. Seems like cap to me
@cjjones633 nurse isn't gonna help out a player who's been talking trash about the gm who just hired him. remember the trade rumor of harden wanting to go back to the rockets in December? his mother was the reason for that rumor because it was reported she was sick since then,his mother lives in Houston. the rest of his family lives in LA. (that's where he wants to be traded now). those national people you talk about don't know anything about the situation because harden doesn't talk to them, he's never had a pr team to talk to media.
Agree, but then don't excuse the absence.
@@cjjones633it has been reported it was a personal matter as to why he was absent
I’m with Shaq and Chuck. Show up to work and be a professional. You get paid to do this, you have to show up!
He messed up his own trade.
I don't think any team is giving very much for him.. including the clippers. and it's Hardin's own fault.
you gotta show up no matter even if its family related issue. Family over the league is much more important for these rich athletes.....
Harden doesn’t want the team that trades for him to give up very much.
Both of them showed up not in shape. Charles showed up overweight on purpose but talking bout Harden gotta be professional 😂
Clippers didn’t really want him. What they had to fire up isn’t worth it.
Big up to Kenny for saying RIP to Steve Irwin. I miss that dude.
Steve the goat
I remember in middle school ask the kids sound the Irwin accent like "I got this here croc"
you aint know him lil bro
we all grew up with him on tv you bozo, dont act too cool@@Killajmj

Clear and concise reporting from Chris Haynes 👌
he is an excellent reporter.
Yeah that was excellent reporting 👍
He sounds like he is stuffed up. He's horrible and tripping over words. Only person who sounds worse is Shannon Sharpe.
Chris is great!
"EJ, let's go BACK to Wednesday... yesterday."
The season just started and they already fighting, I love it! 🤣🤣
They stay into it 😂😂
The chaos Harden causes on the teams he been on is insane
The only place where he didn't cause chaos was OKC and that was because Presti was smart to trade him before he could cause chaos.
I agree with what Harden's doing. Morey is lost. What do you do when your president of operations is getting involved but lies about things?
The OKC three careers will be remembered hilariously 😂
This comment. So true.
Bro!
definitely wasn't a super team gotta change the narrative on that one
They're all going to hall of Fame
@@mansulabdullah7317you're probably right, but the way those three careers panned out after OKC... You gotta admit it's pretty effin dramatic.
Charles is right. You cannot just not show up for work for 10 days
exactly, professionalism is very important.
Kenny always take the players side when their wrong it’s crazy
@@chucktowngaming3030 i don't understand why he does that. Harden was clearly disrespectful to the entire 76ers including the fanbase. How do you defend that
But I'm confused they said it was an excused absence so the team knew why he was away that's what he just reported
We talkin bout practice? Practice? Not a game. Practice?
Chuck not having that BS 😂
The only mainstream nba show I respect
Too bad they not on in the off-season
@@danielsterling3995 If they were I'd be okay with funny stories like Chuck tells , a once a week show to where they tell funny stories and maybe could talk about the draft and off season
Nice to have these guys back. Too many brain cells have been lost watching Gils Arena this offseason (minus Kenyon Martin's takes)
I would go as far as to say ANY sports show
Who asked you? I’m sure ESPN is heartbroken you don’t like nba countdown
I don’t care about this James Harden situation but watching these guys go back and forth is entertaining regardless
Harden's style of play is not wanted by anyone anymore.
He is the problem child of the league. Acting like a toddler until he tantrums his way out.
If you won't play and support your current team mates, why would anyone want to play with you?
You're out for yourself and the team doesnt matter to you.
nba teams give those kinds of players $300 million dollar contracts every year.
@@jjdillon1207to who? 😂. No they don’t, and James wasn’t doing this stuff before he got paid
@@Peewyld jaylon brown
Kenny doesn't understand the importance of a superstar being there. Because he was never a superstar, he was just a role player. But chuck and shack understands because they were super Stars, which affects the game. Way more than a simple bus Rider or role player.
Harden isnt a superstar anymore they r better off without him
So Kenny doesn’t understand the importance of a superstar because he was never a superstar, but YOU know the importance of a superstar on NBA teams because … when exactly? I’m guessing you weren’t a superstar where you? 🤡
Love this show, makes the day go better even during these rough times. Hey can you guys put one the final scores up on the background and the other on the front display when you do the post games.
Thanks Guys
I completely agree with Shaq on this. The lack of professionalism by sooo many NBA players nowadays is just pathetic. You get paid (usually millions) to do a job. The least you can do is be a bit professional and give back to the fans spend their hard earned money on you. And funnily enough it's usually the stars with lesser accomplishments that seem to do this the most.
Agreed
Harden is a great individual player. Kobe (RIP) called it years ago when asked about Harden’s play in Houston-hero ball works well in the regular season, but it doesn’t work in the playoffs.
Harden is a guy that you trade for to fill the seats, not win championships.
That's exactly the entire lakers team right now 😂😂😂
Harden is no longer great. He hasn't been great for a number of years now.
@@jamesdavis8731he might not be great but he's good (passing/iq)
Harden don't wanna be a hero tho no more. If you saw him in philly he went more passive. He scored only 40 something points like 2 games a series rest he Stat pass
@@jada8047 exactly can't be mad he telling us he wannna just wanna be Nash and party can't be mad if he doing it (decent)
bring back "who he play for?"
They’re doing that after the bucks game is over

Harden's going to be just another NBA superstar who didn't win a ring
Hope he's not another T-mac
Facts
The 76ers are a soap opera disguised as a professional NBA franchise
Please don't ever compare that bum to legends like Charles Barkley, Elgin Baylor, Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Penny Hardaway, Reggie Miller or Patrick Ewing.

Kenny never wants to offend or really choose a side.
Facts 💯
He clearly chose Harden’s side.
There is no side. James demanded a trade and no team wants him. It’s pretty simple. Why would they 76ers give him away for nothing? Makes no sense.
Bro wants a FO job so bad
Harden wants to be seen as a victim to the team he threatened to hold hostage if he wasnt traded 😂😂😂
Hardens a true Narcissist.. Plays victim, and likes to control the narrative.
Maxie showed up and had a huge game for them, filling in for Harden with a far better attitude
Thank god y’all are back 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ernie turned his Rubix Cube into a bow tie that’s talent.
Kenny arguing for that job lol😂
Salaries need to become non-guaranteed once a player asks for a trade, stops playing, etc. Players have too much power. You can't get paid full salary for not doing the work. Harden can literally sit on the bench all season and next season for $80m. Teams cannot be on the hook for that. You know Harden would be on the court if they were docking pay every game. I think the owners are players association will eventually work this out. There are enough players that know this is just BS to get the rules changed. It's for the good of the game.
He is a free agent after this season, so not $80 million. But I agree with your point.
This wouldn't even apply to Harden he clearly showed up to play the 76ers themselves prevented him from playing. Also no players would sign off on their contract being voided for sitting out from games or practice, this is what fines exist for.
@@Lord_Clarke First, Sixers only asked him not to travel because he is not in shape since he didn't practice and play in preseason and I agree with that reasoning. Second, you can't say Harden showed up to play when he wasn't with the team for the last 10 days and not for preseason. A player can't just randomly pop up here and there when he chooses to. Third, the point about non guaranteed contracts is good, I would add a clause that says if a player misses time without the team's consent. So it would not affect players who are missing games due to genuine reasons and communicating well with their team. So I don't think players should have any problem with this, all teams are really asking is for players to honor their contracts.
In European soccer, some players have a base salary and then have an appearance fee.
Could add that to the contracts, get paid your full salary only when you play
What if salaries are based on winning percentage? Then we might see more competitive games in the NBA
Kenny cant defend Harden's behavior here, so of course "Its everyone's fault."
Kenny is so annoying and he always is nitpicking at Chuck even when chuck's making a good point
its allways everyone else... Its embarrasing.
It is everyone's fault 76ers for not handling this in the summer, and James for being unprofessional.
@@kidistightthat’s true but Kenny is trying to downplay Harden’s fault in this situation
he's not trying to defend harden he's pointing out that the 76ers are being dishonest and dumb. if they want to make a giant spectacle that distracts from their season while tanking the value of one of their most expensive assets they should just keep doing what they're doing, but if they actually want to play some basketball this season maybe they should work to resolve this situation rather than having public spats like a messy couple.

Well, calling out your boss like that will get most people fired too.
Not true.
You can claim to be under stress and duress and have a doctor’s order to take time off that an employer has to excuse.
@@ElValleDePaz While true, but in James' case he was not likely under extreme stress, duress, and didn't have a doctor's note. He was most likely flexing in a diva-ish way.
The entitlement on these players is absolute madness.
Beck when Kenny was playing, no one would really care if he missed days, but if olajawon misses days, it was gonna affect the entire game.
James had to have known he wasn’t going to be able to travel with the team when he showed up at the airport. He knows how the media and public typically works, so he showed up to create a victims tale. I just wish these dudes who get $40 million a year to do a job could stop showing up in the headlines for not showing up for work.
Tru
PR move, but everyone knows what the deal is. Kick rocks Harden
@@t-bone2019everybody know harden don't give af about pr. if he did he would've got an agent a long time ago. keep hating tho if it'll make u feel better 😂
@@jackyjamesjeffersonjamaljohnso He was already told he would not be going, so why show up at the airport? Media would be all over it and they were! Manipulating the narrative, Harden. Your english is horrible! Capital letters begin a sentence. Lack of punctuation. Stay in school!
But why play along with it and not let him board the plane creating the bad PR? The organization is supposed to be professional too. Don't excuse the absence and explicitly tell him to stay home by suspending him. Both parties and being petty
I feel you Kenny. All facts. Just get Harden outta here at this point.
Riiiggghhht. No need on keep playing with him
Nah, get rid of Morey..... clueless liar needs to put in the work.
@@tokdo4960Harden is GONE
To be clear, James harden was gone for 10 days. Comes back and his employer says we do not need you to travel with us. He gets upset, but he has been requesting a trade all summer. How does this help the Clippers and how does this help your trade value? Somebody help me make sense.
Definitely agree with you. Makes no sense from 76ers organization.
harden couldn’t care less about what his trade value is and what the 76ers get in return… the 76ers are making it worse than it needs to be in the sense that they “excused” his 10 day absence, but add fuel to the fire by not letting him travel with the team when he returns. makes no sense. to continue off kenny’s point, there’s no reason the 6ers shouldn’t have let him travel with the team. if he’s truly not in shape then tell him not to suit up but keep him on the bench. he’s still part of the team. but not letting him travel at all is adding fuel. NOW if the 76ers didn’t excuse his absence then by all means i understand not letting him travel, but don’t come to hardens defense and call his absence “excused” then not let him back with the team
TO BE CLEAR ......... Philadelphia told him not to travel so he could work with the staff at home to get him ramped up (ideally) to play in the team's home opener. HIS soft-tissue injury history alone justifies that decision.
He's suffering from mental illness and I think the team and NBA is protecting their investment
He doesn’t get upset. The NBA is upset. That’s why they’re investigating it.
Can’t imagine making millions of dollars playing basketball, and throwing fits every time something doesn’t go my way.
The Clippers were looking decent already this season. I don't think this makes them better. Westbrook is currently finding his groove and now the team has to figure out their chemistry with Harden in the lineup. No defense, ball dominant, and no off ball action to be expected. Not to mention, all the teams that keep trading for him are allowing him to continue being the big baby that he is. He's not a professional by any means.
I used to think Karl Malone was the biggest choker in NBA history, however James Harden continues to prove me wrong.
Karl Malone lead his team to the finals twice and never missed the playoffs his entire career. That’s far from choking.
Even if they lose i think karl Malone produces good numbers on those games. You can't call that a choke,
@@irandleIV thr Jazz made the finals at a time when the other western powerhouse teams in the 90's were gone or broken down: Suns, Blazers, Sonics, Rockets. Although beating Shaq + young kobe and Drob+young duncan is pretty admirable too
Early to mid 90's west was a bloodbath for sure
The Mailman don't deliver on Sunday but James Harden don't deliver on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday....
@@marcjohnson4677Malone lost to MJ that’s hardly choking!
It’s always that one co-worker that is always late. Doesn’t like to be a team player, wants to find another job etc.
so happy this is back
I love that Charlie’s calls Kenny our - - Kenny you never make any hard decisions
Shaq talking about professionalism is hilarious giving how he acted in LA, Heat & PHX in the end lol. Some of us remember. Kenny spoke facts
Facts Fam.
He gave La chips and Miami. He can say what he wants. Hardin hasn’t given anyone anything except the strippers tips.
As an L.A. resident and a fan of the Clippers back in the mid 2000's, I admired Elton Brand as a player. But in as far as managing the Sixers, I think Brand has a lot of room for improvement.
I mean it was his first time in that small time frame he made some great moves .
Why is this Elton Brands fault and not the guy who requested a trade 3 seasons in a row, and is known to quit on his team when he doesn't get his way.
@@euj0 Well, this isn't the FIRST time the Sixers have had major issues with their major players. If something keeps happening, then something must be wrong, right? Who makes the decisions re choosing players, offering contracts, trading players, letting go of players, hiring coaches, firing coaches, etc etc? The team manager, right? So now, ask yourself that very same question again.
@@tucansam3147 Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons, Brett Butler, Doc Rivers, Al Horford, Tobias Harris, James Harden, just to name a few. Try to take a little time to think back and recall what happened to these people.
@@ponypower8 those names are not the main issue. The main issue is getting nothing from top picks Fultz, Simmons, and okafor. James Harden was the best thing they could get in order to get rid of Simmons so even getting 50% of harden was better than keeping Simmons
Love Chuck’s mindset
Kenny on a roll with this one.
Ernie bow tie is 🔥 😂
Harden didn’t have to exercise his player option. He could have become a free agent. The trade request is absurd and I blame most of it on Harden. If Morey did promise some long-term deal (illegally), well, sure he broke it, but it wasn’t in ink. Harden can be mad but he had an out here and declined to take it.
Because he overrates himself. No one wants him, unless he’s dirt cheap. Then, they can just cut him when he acts like a 5 yr and not be concerned with loss of assets.
Not a James Harden fan, but people have to stop with that "it wasn't in ink." Harden took a paycut per Morey to get them help. Now even though they still didn't get any farther, he did what Morey asked, so Morey should've kept to his end of the bargain.
And dont forget halfway thru last season his camp started putting it out there tht he was tryna go bck to Houston after the season was over
In my opinion because of the long relationship Morrey and Harden have hes taking it personal that James called him a liar and he has no intention of trading him unless theres a ridiculous deal or the NBA steps in
I kinda agree
You’re wrong though. They recently tried to trade him to the Clippers for Mann and the Clippers turned it down.

Genius stylist.
When blaming Morey, let’s remember that Harden opted in. If he didn’t want to play for Philly he should have not opted in. Simple as that. Otherwise it’s up to Philly management to decide his trade value.
Y'all remember the year James Harden had that new unstoppable move😂😂
Them playing John Cena in the background is crazy
While yea it’s kinda messed up he showed up and was sent home, I distinctly remember the quote of “I will never play for a franchise that Daryl morey is apart of”. He did this to himself at the end of the day.

It's grey at best. The organization could've handled this earlier, but is there some pettiness where they're willing to "sabotage" their own season just to make Harden suffer the fines by the new rules? Harden wanted to try & avoid getting fined by the new rule & use the season to get into shape clearly. The organization was just pretty much always going to win with that new rule. Everyone's right, including Kenny, like we don't know for sure anything but what we're seeing. No one wants to de-escalate the situation at all.
hardens in shape. his teammates say he is, nick nurse says he's in shape. but yall wanna listen to media since harden has no agent to back his side of the story.
@@jackyjamesjeffersonjamaljohnso I still think he should be fined for not showing up to work for 10 days. It's just sayings there's no issue & then going about doing this round about way of making him stay home, instead of saying upfront he's a distraction, does help Harden's point somewhat that they're liars.
THIS. I agree with Kenny in this specific incident. The team did not handle this well by not letting Harden travel with the team. Making Harden sit on the bench until you can confirm his performance is up to gametime standards. That keeps this situation under wraps and allows for discipline to be delivered behind closed doors.
With that being said, Harden has been immature for THE ENTIRETY of this saga and deserved to be punished/withheld from the roster.
In conclusion, the Sixers are a hot mess and Joel Embiid deserves better opportunities to win a championship.
@@VyPrezWolfpackMusic For sure, everyone was in the right on the panel. Kenny's comments stand out because it also holds the organization accountable. They stated it was no issue, but the actions say otherwise. No one knows for sure what happened, but handling it this way instead of an outright punishment just add to the conclusion that Harden may be right, the organization could be just a bunch of liars.
"Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he's a part of" Getting on the team plane is being part of the organization. I'd worry James is going to fake an injury, so I wouldn't risk playing him either. There's no trust on either side.

Kenny is 100% correct. Charles the team said it was an excused absence 😂😂😂🤷🏾♂️
All the talent that got let go by ESPN should join TNT
Who got let off my espn?
It’s sad these players haven’t learned from seeing Cousins and Howard getting kicked out of the league..
76ers should have never hired Morey and undermine Brand to begin with
Barkley: "I actually disagree with you.".. Barkely's back!! gonna be a great season.
Usually Kenny coddles the players to the point where it’s annoying. But this is one of those rare occasions where he is 100% spot on. You can’t excuse the dude then hem him up so he can’t be with the team. He may not like his situation but he has been supportive of his teammates. And his teammates have testified to that over the past month.
I feel like the point Kenny was trying to get at here (and might have tripped up on because of Chuck’s agitation) is that the overlooked heart of the problem between Harden and Morey right now appears to be a lack and/or unwillingness to learn conflict-resolution and compromise skills for either man, both because of the particulars of this situation and the resumes each of them have. I 100% agree with Chuck and Shaq’s assertions that Harden needs to be less of a diva and that the Sixers (and the league) need to hold him accountable for his actions, but I think there’s also high validity in Kenny’s point of a marked lack & high need of de-escalating interactions and conversations between the two that is preventing this situation from being resolved to everyone’s satisfaction in a timely manner.
What are you yapping about
Chuck could be giving a long list of directions and before every step he'd say, "Well first of all..."
That result against Boston, and those two guys stat lines.....wonder how the bookmakers made out. 😏
Kenny is absolutely right. No one is trying to de-escalate the situation, so everyone is at fault.
No. Harden hasn't showed up to work. Stop it, grow up.
@@gongshowjimmy557
Grow up and learn labor laws.
It was an excused absence.
You can’t discipline someone after excusing their absence.
Shaq talking about “professional” when half his career he spent out of shape disrespecting everyone at the end of his lakers run til the end of his career.
k, I just have to say that @shaq made such a good point when he explained his view of the situation. 100% nailed it
I miss watching these guys 😂😂😂
Kenny has a good point. Obviously Harden has not been helpful, but making him stay home - even if he didn't earn the trip - was a strange move by the organization. It felt more like trying to exercise their own power over the player for a change (understandable, with the last two years of nonsense, but not helpful to the situation.)
Regardless, I find it hilarious that my most disliked players each did this to my most disliked team & superstar.
Whole new season and Kenny still has the worst takes 😂.. Still love him though, no hate
Is that the John Cena theme song very faintly in the background when Chris was talking?
As a Sixers fan I agree with Kenny and Shaq
I'm not sure about what happened behind the scenes, but it seems like James Harden made a *wink wink* deal with his friend Morey that they will re-sign him for the max if he takes a paycut for guys. He does that, and plays well leading to Embiid MVP. He struggles in the playoffs but was a large contributor to 2 wins in round 2. Then Morey doesn't live up to the promise. He's not being the best professional, but I can understand why he's upset imo
So you understand his situation if it fits your imaginary narrative?
Kenny always has to be THAT guy 🙄
Yet he's accurate in his statement. Philly and Harden keep playing this back and forth game BS with each other like the other side will eventually give in and it won't happen. This elementary school feud will go on until Philly ends it. Until then, there's going to be something new every week.
Right?! You say "right" and he'll always say "left". Hopefully they planned it out that way, just to stir things up. But I doubt it.
He is NOT A STAR PLAYER...He is a player with a attitude!!
Charles Batkley..is absolutely right.
As a fan of Philly, I still want harden back
