 James, congrats again on the win. Your teammates out there learning, getting to know you. What did you, though, learn about your teammates tonight? We have some special talent in this locker room. Very versatile shooters, playmakers, defenders, a little bit of everything. And that's what you're going to need, especially when it comes postseason. Obviously, we haven't built as much chemistry as we would like, but that first game, it felt good to be out there on the court and just give me guys confidence, give me guys energy. And that's what it's going to take throughout the course of the year. And once you build that up and guys believe in each other, then that's pretty scary. Malika Andrews with ESPN. And James, I'm wondering if there was any sense of this was like riding a bike, getting back out with Kevin Durant? I'm a hooper. So I just, like I said, I'm very unselfish. I'm willing to just do whatever it takes to win. And obviously, Katie is just an elite, just different type of basketball player as far as the way he's able to score the basketball is so easy for him. And I know that. So I just want to make it a little bit more easier if I can. And then for the rest of the teammates, our shooters and our bigs make it easier for them. So yeah, it was pretty easy out there. Greg Logan with Newstay. James, yesterday you said when you were asked, what talent do you need to improve or emphasize or whatever, you said playmaking. And it seemed like that's what you were concentrating on tonight. You've got everybody's shots. You distributed the ball. You moved it quickly. And then when you had to, you turned it on offensively. So can you say, do you expect that to be your approach going forward, especially when they add Kyrie Irving to the mix? For me, I'm just, I have so many dementias to my game. I just take whatever the defense gives me. I play the game the right way. Or at least I try to every possession. And it just takes whatever the defense is giving me. And like I say, whoever has the hot hand, that's who deserves the ball. The basketball finds energy. It finds people that have good energy, good spirit. So that's what I try to bring to the game tonight. Brian Lewis with The New York Post. Hey, James, it's hard to get in somebody else's head. But I mean, you made it pretty clear that you wanted to be in Brooklyn. And at least it seemed like you were really enjoying yourself out there tonight. I'm just curious, now that the game's over, I mean, did it feel like what you expected? And how did it feel? How would you describe it? It felt unbelievable. I mean, I hope you can tell by my smile and my play. Just excited, excited for the opportunity. This is an unbelievable organization from top to bottom. And for me, all I have to do is just go out there and be the best, James Harden I can be. And good things will happen. Christian Winfield with The New York Daily News. Hey, James, one thing about you and Kyrie and KB as it pertains to you guys' offensive talent is that you guys can kind of tell what the defense is going to do before they do it. How do you think that is going to help guys like Joe, guys like DeAndre, when the defense can't really help off of, you know, we saw today, defense can't help off of Joe. He's going to hit a three. Defense can't help off of the guy down low. You get a throw to lava up top. How does that make this team better that you guys all know what the defense is going to do and they can't really double you? Once we go through every scenario and it's only maybe four or five that teams can really do against us and throughout the course of the year, that's going to happen. Once we figure out, okay, they're doing this tonight. This is how we attack it. What we're doing this tonight is how we attack it. Once we get that, it's basically up to us. And I'm so excited for Kyrie to get back. You know, he's a key piece to what we're trying to do. And, you know, the chemistry, as soon as we can build that, as soon as we can be on the court together, it's going to be scary hours. Alex Shiffer with the athletic. Hey, James, Jill and Kevin were kind of saying how you know, early on everyone was maybe a little too past happy and not changing the topic. It's just what point in the game did you kind of start to feel you got into a rhythm and got comfortable? I mean, I had nine turnovers throughout the game and maybe six or seven onward to, you know, looking to get guys and Deandre get them lives. That's me being unselfish. You know, that's me trying to get guys involved. But at the end of the day, I just still got to be a player at the end of the day and score what I need to score and when the passes there do it. So first game, I'm happy to get it out the way. Now we can watch and film and get ready for our next opponent. Brian Mahoney with the Associated Press. Hey, James, I had your preparation today. Did you know for sure you'd get to play or if not, when did you find out? And, you know, without not knowing many of the kind of plays and things like that, is it almost more fun that you get to figure it out yourself a little bit more as opposed to kind of having things scripted? I mean, you know, I have, you know, had multiple conversations with our coaching staff on what we're trying to accomplish on both ends of the ball. So pretty much I'm familiar with it. And I know, you know, you know, we're spots where to put our players in. And then it makes it easier when you have Kevin to run on your team who can take some of the pressure off you as well. So like I said, it's a long way to go. It's a process, but I think just watching film, getting better, learning where guys like to be. We have some unbelievable shooters trying to get them more shots, they can feel more involved in the offense, getting our bigs more, you know, pain points. And just kind of directing people and guiding people to where, you know, they should be so they can be more effective. I think once that happens, our team will be a lot better. Ian Begley with SNY. James, it's not a basketball question, but could you share anything about what you had to give Landry a shaman for number 13? I'm sure he'll post it when I give it to him. No, that's big time though for him to sacrifice that. And I got to make sure, you know, I get him something. And last question, Jen Williams with Fox 5 New York. Hey, James, you came to, you said you came to Brooklyn to play for Kim Tender. I know it's just the first game, but keeping that in mind, how are you feeling about that decision after the first game? It felt great. I mean, even from when I stepped foot into the building, you know, it was open arms. And like I said, there's anything I need. They're there for me. They're making sure I'm getting my work in, making sure that, you know, everything is late. So all I got to do is go out there and just be me. For me in return, I got to make sure everybody is, you know, is feeding off that. And tonight was a really good start. Hopefully next game we have Kai back and just keep this thing rolling.
