James Harden: "If OKC had remained united, we would have won at least 2 championships"
The Clippers' star recently lamented that things didn't go well in Oklahoma in the past.
There was a time when the Oklahoma City Thunder seemed very close to winning their first NBA championship. With Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and James Harden, the team had everything to succeed.
However, due to money issues and Durant's "betrayal" by leaving for the Golden State Warriors in 2016, OKC fell apart and never regained its dominance, even with Paul George and Carmelo Anthony joining Westbrook later.
Recently, Harden, now the star for the Clippers after stints with the Houston Rockets, Brooklyn Nets, and Philadelphia 76ers, lamented that things didn't work out. 'The Beard' saw dynasty potential in that OKC team.
"If the Thunder had stayed together instead of splitting up over 4 million, we would have won at least two NBA rings," he said in comments reported by HoopsHype.
