NEW YORK, NEW YORK – JANUARY 16: James Harden #13 of the Brooklyn Nets warms up before the first half against the Orlando Magic at Barclays Center on January 16, 2021 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. This is his first game with the Brooklyn Nets. (Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)It’s not very often that you see an NBA home crowd boo its own superstar at home, but that’s what happened in Brooklyn on Saturday night.
The Nets lost to the Phoenix Suns, 113-107, on Saturday evening. The Suns won their 16th game in a row, taking down the Nets on the road.
It was a rough night for James Harden.
Harden, who’s had an up-and-down season so far in Brooklyn, struggled with turnovers. He finished the game with 7 turnovers and 12 points on 4 of 15 shooting.
Yikes.
Nets fans start booing Harden after this turnover. ?

NBA fans took to social media to react.
“KD left Steph for this LMFAOOOO,” one fan wrote.
“He’s being asked to do too much. KD needs to step up and lead the team,” another fan wrote on Twitter.
“Philly would never boo their own players,” one fan joked on Twitter.
“Watching James Harden turn into Druski with handles in real time is wild as hell,” another fan wrote on social media.
It’s a very bizarre scene, that’s for sure.
