May 15th, today 76ers star Paul George appeared on the podcast "ThePivotPodcast".

Speaking of former teammate Harden's performance at a critical moment in the playoffs, George said: "He used to be my teammate, and I know he has invested a lot in technical training, but sometimes his efficiency will drop, or it will drop from time to time. I think a player with his ability does everything so well, but sometimes he doesn't even know if he should be a scorer or the core of the organization.

"Like sometimes I think I need to stand up, attack actively, and score points. James (Harden) in that state is the real superstar, but sometimes he will perform mediocrely, but his mentality is, I want to be the organizer, I want to create shooting opportunities for my teammates, I want to create open spaces for my teammates, and make the game easy for everyone else, but sometimes you lose.

"He was so passive in the game that he forgot how to stay aggressive in the game because he always wanted to make this or that teammate relaxed. I think sometimes Harden's talent is that he is excellent in everything, but his spell is that he can do a lot of things and he doesn't know which kind he wants to be!"
