Due to Paul George’s injury and Kevin Durant withdrawing, team USA has been searching for some leadership.
Ironically, on the same day where Harden threw his Rockets teammates under the bus, Jerry Colangelo, USA basketball chariman says he would look to the bearded one for leadership.
“Right now, I think I would look to Harden as that leader,” USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said as his team continues to prepare for the tournament in which the winner earns an automatic berth in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “Harden is kind of a natural leader and he seems to be willing to accept that role. And you can just kind of feel it and sense. He’s the one.”
Harden doesn’t strike me as the leader type.
