Did James Harden and Kevin Durant Go about Things Wrong With Kyrie Irving on the Nets?
It's been two and half years since the trio of Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant disassembled -- a formidable big three that could compete with any big three in NBA history. When the quest for a championship in Brooklyn first rose about in 2019 amongst Irving and Durant, Harden made his way to the city that never sleeps in the most dramatic way possible to join forces and make this thing happen. Harden's antics started when he showed up late to the Houston Rockets' training camp in 2020. Due to the league's COVID protocols at the time, once he got there late, Harden then had to test negative for the virus for six consecutive days.
