James Harden Rips Giannis After All-Star Game Snub

Back in 2020, James Harden had a select meeting with ESPN’s Rachel Nichols. In the protracted meeting, Harden set aside effort to pummel Giannis for not expecting to have a lot of ability to play his game.

“I wish I could just run and be 7 feet and just dunk. Like that takes no skill at all,” Harden said per ESPN’s Rachel Nichols back in 2020. “I gotta actually learn how to play basketball, how to have skill. I take that any day.”
