One of them, Brian Dameris, who formerly worked in the Dallas Mavericks front office before becoming a Mavericks broadcaster for Bally Sports Southwest, saw a two-minute video go viral in November as the Mavericks hosted the Clippers. In it, he detailed how teams have moved mountains to accommodate Harden – yet Harden always pointed the finger and absolved himself of blame when things fell apart. “Listen, James, have you ever had those friends who had bad roommates?” Dameris asked in the video. “Over and over again, they complained about their bad roommates. ‘This guy’s terrible.’ They never thought to be self-aware enough that they’re the bad roommate. They’re the problem. ‘Hey James, you’re the problem.’” Harden, of course, heard those comments. Perhaps coincidentally, he helped the Clippers go on a nine-game winning streak a week after they were made. Did Harden use those words as motivation? “No,” Harden told FOX Sports with a scoff. “Uh-uh.” -via FoxSports.com / January 3, 2024
