Si mentioned to James Harden His points, his three-point shots, his step back to make room, his eminently offensive game immediately come to mind. But ‘The beard’ he is much more than all that, he is a multidimensional player capable of doing many things and, above all, of making his teammates better.
Harden recently returned from his covid quarantine and has apparently done so in good shape. On Christmas day he completed a great triple-double against the Lakers and, against the Clippers, also in the crypto.com Arena that he should consider changing his name again (we suggest ‘The Beard’), he returned to show himself and remember that there should be no debate about the MVP without his name.
In the process that led him to finish with 39 points, 15 assists and 8 rebounds, James Harden He joined a select club to which only players of a high level belong. ‘La Barba’ distributed in the third quarter of the game in Los Angeles the attendance number 6,000 of his career, becoming the 10th player ever who achieves at least 20,000 points, 5,000 rebounds and 6,000 assists.
The achievement, which in itself speaks to Harden’s outsized talent, has a lot more merit when we look at the company he’s joined from now on: Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Gary Payton, Clyde Drexler, Oscar Robertson, John Havlicek y Jerry West They did it before the Nets player.
Talk about Harden is to make him one of the most prolific players in scoring but, as with other great basketball legends like LeBron o KobeHarden does not neglect other vital facets of the game. Among them, the Nets dominates the passes to the basket. This season he rides second with 9.6 on the list of best passers only behind an accomplished stuntman like Chris Paul and already led this ranking in 2016-17 playing for the Rockets.
