James Harden called Kevin McHale a ‘clown’ in response to comments about his leadership
"He's a clown, honestly."
Houston Rockets superstar James Harden says he “doesn’t usually go back-and-forth” with people who talk about him, but made an exception in the case of his former coach – and Celtics legend – Kevin McHale.
After McHale commented on NBA TV’s Open Court series that Harden “is not a leader,” the Rockets guard fired back in a video:
“He’s a clown, honestly,” Harden began. The lengthy response included Harden vouching for himself, as well as saying that McHale, “never taught me anything to be a leader.”
Here’s an ESPN overview of McHale’s original comments, as well as some critiquing from Paul Pierce:
