James Harden was held to just nine points in the 76ers’ Game 7 loss against the Celtics on Sunday, failing to register double-digit points for the second time this postseason.
His lackluster performance drew a scalding hot take from Stephen A. Smith, who held nothing back when ripping into Philadelphia’s star guard.
After the Sixers’ playoff exit, Smith gave Harden an earful, imploring the 33-year-old to shave his beard in order to better hide his identity.
