Why do we continue to pretend that Michelle Beadle knows ball? 

That’s a name you haven’t heard from in years. Honestly, I had no idea she was still alive or pretending to know what she knows ball but here we are.

Beadle, who apparently works at the Athletic, appeared in a video clip today dressed like a Gen X kid talking about James Harden. 

Michelle Beadle on James Harden

“Why do we continue to pretend like James Harden is going to change into a different human being than what he is?”

For whatever reason, the national media can’t stand the fact that James Harden is on the Philadelphia 76ers, while giving Ben Simmons, who literally refused to play basketball for the Sixers, a complete pass in Brooklyn.

Well, I don’t know Michelle, let’s dive in and see if we can figure out a reason, shall we? 

James Harden was forced out by the Oklahoma City Thunder and landed in Houston with Daryl Morey. 

He then left a Houston Rockets organization on the brink of collapse and was traded to the Brooklyn Nets, where he didn’t want to go in the first place, and had to play with that psychopath Kyrie Irving and an injured Kevin Durant. 

Now, James Harden is in Philadelphia playing with Joel Embiid under the eyes of Daryl Morey, where he wanted to be the entire time. 

It’s honestly not that hard to understand. Beadle then continues to say it’s not like she roots against James Harden either, but I feel like that’s a total lie. 

Beadle worked for New York’s YES Network and covered the New Jersey Nets. Furthermore, she was a sideline reporter for the Nets and hosted more than a few dumb shoes for Sportslife NYC including Kids on Deck and YES’ Ultimate Road Trip. 

Maybe, just maybe, Michelle Beadle is upset that James Harden didn’t want to play in Brooklyn for a team with a small group of “fans” that don’t know ball, just like her. 

Sounds like everything was fine and dandy before he abandoned Michelle’s favorite team. Now, she’s making videos for The Athletic out of no where talking about James Harden like he’s some horrible person, which we know is simply a lie. 

“There’s nothing that somebody can tell me about my game. I put the work in. I go out there and produce. I try to be the best teammate that I can be every single night, simple as that.”
