James Harden - 2019-20 NBA Scoring Champion 

Deffinitly

Well then...

Facts

aged very well

The scariest second-round star the league has seen since Tracy McGrady.

There are unique levels to being a perennial second round superstar that we mortals can't comprehend.

It's a shame for Houston that he really struggled beyond the regular season. Had some bright moments but ultimately couldn't get over the hump.

The tough part to watch now is that he is able to show that he can still do this kind of thing, but not to the same extent.

What's crazy to me is seeing people talking about Harden's "downfall" and he's still a 22 ppg, 10 ast, 7 reb guard. Most players don't even reach anywhere near that in their prime. Shows you how good he really is.

@@samnangchea5025 just speaks to his greatness

This is a factor that a lot of people don't seem to account for. There are other factors for sure, but hamstring injuries are not joke and in the game of basketball they are seriously exposed.

What rule?

He has managed to adapt and become what he pretty much should have been his whole career: A point guard.

I get a couple of comments here or there man, appreciate the love! I do this channel as a means of historical purpose. I want people to be able to go back later in time and look for the videos I provide.

Lebron put up a better number than a lot of player every season. What's the reason behind this comment? Compare to james he came from a hamstring injury but despite putting "numbers" he average 22ppg 10ast 8rb. That's an all star stats not to mention his playing a pg role. Lebron had put a better number than steph who is healthy most of the season and went through a shooting slump for a month at least. Why not mention those guys who are healthy and consider by most as a "top 10 goats"?

u mean go back to the strip clubs?? wasn't he doing that at this time? lol shit gave him super powers. people telling him to be focused like kobe is why he's not like this anymore lmao

Harden was out of shape in beginning of 2021 and played mvp caliber it's not about mindset for him but health and playoffs shows up

nigga hes lebron 💀

Yeah nah, this Harden is well and truly gone.

I don't see Harden ever returning beyond a league-leading assist guy.

Rule changes and a lack of perceived desire does a lot.

Have to disagree there - anyone who decides to bail and chase because the good times are over is clearly out of their prime. For me, his last Prime year was 2019-20.

Every times James Harden jacked his way to a second round defeat it deflated me.

Crazy to see what has happened. I think people forget that Harden signed as the main option at the Rockets over a decade ago now. He's 14-15 years into his career now.

Unfortunately the game is looking for nothing but quality jump-shooting point guards, and Westbrook doesn't fit that role. If team's were able to totally build 3 and D around him through his prime I feel the discussion around him would be different.

A man who wants the acclaim of the number one spot but the responsibility of the second and third option.

Amazing what rules and circumstance can do for a player.

I don't see where the hate is? Anyone who knows me knows I have been one of his biggest critics, but this video does nothing but highlight the season he had.

If Luka at some stage was to lead the league in one of the five major categories or win a major award, then for sure. At this stage, my first Luka video will be his Rookie of the Year video.

With what that team has and where he is at phyisically, that would be a massive mistake.

Take away Free Throws and deep-ball shooting and you have a guy that isn't able to hurt a defensive unit in key situations.
