NBA Standings and Results
"We are unstoppable."
The NBA fashion couple will not lack verbiage or media focus.
Joel Embiid and James Harden
, two of the most charismatic, controversial and dominating types of world basketball have joined their destinies in the Sixers, in one of those movie market movements and, at the moment, everything indicates that, indeed, nobody is going to them to be able to stop
There are three victories in three games, but above all, they are the sensations, the illusion unleashed in a city that has not won a ring for almost 40 years (1983) and that has not stepped foot in a Final since 2001. If
Allen Iverson
was the protagonist of the last golden age in Philadelphia,
Julius Erving and Moses Malone
were the golden age of the last success.
Another resounding couple is what the Sixers are grabbing again.
His famous 'Process' has ended with a really bizarre transfer.
From that tanking season (63 losses) that led to Embiid being chosen at number three in the 2014 draft, to the subsequent arrival of
Ben Simmons
, the point guard who was scorned and pointed out as having caused the earthquake.
Because it was the Australian's refusal to continue in the Sixers which meant that, after six months without playing, they found a way out for him.
And the restless Harden took the opportunity to escape from the Nets and renew his ambitions.
"Philly was my first choice. I've known for a long time that this was my ideal place, along with the best center in the League and with
Doc Rivers
. I want to focus on winning the championship," admits La Barba, without patience with
Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving
in Brooklyn, another project devised for the ring.
His numbers in three games alongside the Cameroonian giant are extraordinary: 27.3 points, nine rebounds and 12.3 assists.
"He's a great passer and attracts a lot of attention. I'm happy because I don't have to post on every possession," Embiid praises him, far from the physical problems that never gave him the necessary continuity.
he was already signing a season of scandal.
A young secondary with a lot to contribute like
Tyrese Maxey
(24.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists along with them) seems to have gotten on the bandwagon.
The Sixers are third in the East, just two wins behind leader Miami, in contrast to depressed Brooklyn.
Harden's arrival at the Sixers has an intra-story behind it, an engineer from the offices who long ago fell in love with the ineffable point guard.
When
Daryl Morey
said goodbye to the Rockets in 2020 after 13 years, he bought a page in the local papers to thank Harden for "changing his life."
"Not only did he transform my life, but he also revolutionized the game of basketball, and continues to do so, like almost no one has before. Basketball is played differently because of James and on every playing field in the world the next generation of talent is studying and imitating his game," wrote the guy who made him the 2018 MVP when he was a sixth man on the Thunder.
Morey and Harden meet again under the huge umbrella that Embiid represents and that ring that they could not achieve together in Houston -Harden never even played in a Finals- seems, again, something tangible.
