James Harden adding to his legacy!
Still a loser.
What’s galling is that there now seems to be a second set of rules for James harden when it comes to COVID. I don’t understand why he wasn’t suspended, why he’s going to be allowed to play after he tests negative once and so on.
Technically the NBA has a lot of leeway when it comes to handing out punishment for players who are seen to be violating the safety protocols (in this case being in public without a mask, indoors, with people) but this portion seems pretty clear:
While in their team’s home market, team personnel will be prohibited from going to bars, lunges or clubs, from attending live entertainment or sports events, from using gyms, spas or pools, or from participating in social gatherings with more than 15 people
So why isn’t James getting pilloried? This is his second offense in roughly a week? Ridiculous. Better to have no guidelines than make exceptions for superstars. If this was a rookie or some scrub you can bet an example would be made.

It’s like he’s become a denier since he had Covid and doesn’t feel the rules apply to him. NBA should suspend him for behavior not in the interest of the league
I just want them to be consistent snd not have a 2nd set of on and off the court rules for Harden. The fouls, the travelling on his step back gathers and now this. It’s ludicrous…
