“I didn’t like all the attention,” he told Sports Illustrated, without mentioning Khloe by name. “I feel like it was for no reason.”

“It wasn’t me”: James Harden was not a fan of the media attention that came with dating Khloe Kardashian
“I wasn’t getting anything out of it except my name out there and my face out there, and I don’t need that. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but it wasn’t me.”He added: “I don’t need pictures of myself when I’m driving my car. Who cares? What shoes am I wearing? Who cares? Where am I eating? Who cares? It was unnecessary stuff that I think trickled down to my teammates. I had to eliminate that.”

Khloe, who is now dating Tristan Thompson, had hinted last year that the romance ended because James wasn’t monogamous.

“I just don’t want to put up with people that you want to be monogamous but then they’re not monogamous,” she said on her show Kocktails with Khloe

“I’ve always said, ‘It’s long distance. I’ve always said, ‘We don’t need to be monogamous! There’s a lot of s**t going on in our lives. You live in Houston. I live in L.A. Let’s see each other when we see each other.'”

Khloe added: “He sought me out. He wanted to be committed and, you know, then wasn’t committed … I got the receipts to prove it!”
