Deep dives
James Harden criticizes Daryl Morey, accuses him of lying
James Harden has publicly criticized Daryl Morey, accusing him of making promises that were not fulfilled. This accusation adds to a pattern of Morey allegedly not keeping his word, as Chris Paul had previously accused him of the same thing. Harden's comments come as he reportedly wants Morey to make a deal with the LA Clippers. The tensions between Harden and Morey reflect a larger trend in the NBA, where stars are increasingly leveraging their power and putting pressure on front office executives.
Jordan Love's performance in preseason raises concerns
Jordan Love's performance in the preseason for the Green Bay Packers has raised concerns about his ability as a starting quarterback. Observers have noted Love's struggles with accuracy and a lack of productivity in the Packers' offensive game plan. Some even suggest that the Packers themselves may have doubts about Love's potential to succeed as a starter. Overall, Love's preseason performance has sparked questions about his readiness to take over as the Packers' quarterback.
College football poised for an exciting season
The upcoming college football season is expected to be highly captivating. With top programs like USC, Texas, Clemson, Michigan, Ohio State, LSU, Georgia, and Alabama, the competition will be fierce. All these teams possess varying degrees of talent and are likely to be formidable contenders. The expansion of the College Football Playoff will allow more teams to have a shot at the national title, making the season even more thrilling to watch.
James Harden could potentially explore options in China
Due to his frustration with the NBA and the lack of market interest, James Harden could consider exploring options in China. Harden is immensely popular in China, and his presence there could be financially lucrative. The strained relationship between Harden and the Houston Rockets' front office, particularly Daryl Morey, has contributed to his possible desire for a change. If he feels undervalued and unwanted in the NBA, China could provide a new opportunity for him to continue his basketball career and find appreciation among fans.
