After nearly winning league MVP and making a trip to the Conference Finals in the 2014-15 season, James Harden and the Rockets had a forgettable 2015-16. Sure, they made the playoffs again, but their slow start got former coach Kevin McHale fired and they weren’t nearly the team we remembered from the season before.
But none of that means Harden isn’t still taking things seriously. For the second consecutive summer, Harden is holding a player’s only minicamp. Harden receives his share of criticism, but should be commended for this effort. This is what leaders and franchise players do.
For the second consecutive year Houston Rockets guard James Harden has organized a players-only minicamp scheduled for next week.
Last September Harden had the Rockets players together for a minicamp in Los Angeles.
“James is doing everything,” said Corey Brewer, Rockets guard/forward. “He is showing he wants to be a leader.
“He’s the franchise player. He signed the extension. So it’s his team, and he’s doing all the right things to do what we need to do to have a chance to win championships.”
Harden’s plan is to hold the minicamp in Miami. However, the potential of bad weather hitting South Florida may cause the Rockets players to work in a different city.
