Among the league's top 75 stars announced by the NBA this year, James Harden, who just switched to the 76ers, only ranked 50th, which also attracted NBA star McMahon to complain about him, believing that he is the most underrated star among the 75 stars. McMahon's point is that Harden's statistics are very eye-catching, with this gorgeous list of statistics, he should also be upgraded a few more notches, if the current ranking of the 50 is based on the player's absence of a championship ring, it is understandable, but many players before Harden have not actually won championships, according to this standard, Harden's ranking is indeed lower.
Since joining the NBA as Tanhualang in 2009, Harden, although he played as the sixth person in the first three seasons of the Thunder, but in the 12-13 season to the Rockets, Harden completely cashed in his super talent in scoring and assists, in his first season with the Rockets, Harden can deliver 25.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists, ushering in the first All-Star trip of his career, and since then, his average score per game has never been 20+. Especially after meeting his own Bole en mentor D'Antoni, Harden was also successfully transformed into a top two-way guard, with a strong scoring ability and excellent passing ability.
In the 17-18 season, Harden was successfully elected as the regular season MVP with an average of 30.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game, and it was also in this season that he also helped the Rockets enter the Western Conference Finals, if it were not for Paul's injury, the Rockets would really be able to reach the Finals this season and launch an attack towards the championship. Even in last season's transfer from the Rockets to the Nets, Harden can still hand over a quasi-triple-double of 24.6 points, 8.5 rebounds and 10.9 assists, and this year's relationship with the Nets is particularly tense, coupled with his own hamstring injuries, Harden still did not use it as an excuse to regress from the state, from the beginning of about 18 points, to the current 22.5 points, 8 rebounds and 10.2 assists.
Unfortunately, Harden, who has made up his mind, did not choose to stay in Brooklyn in the end, but was sent to the 76ers by the Nets before the trade deadline to restart a new chapter in his career. Throughout Harden's 13-year NBA career, he can average 25 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, in addition to the championship, in fact, other personal honors Harden almost all have taken a lot, 1 regular season MVP, 1 best sixth person, 6 best first team, 3 scoring kings, 1 assist king, 10 all-stars.
There is no shortage of defenders in front of him, such as 76ers Iverson, Steve Nash, Gary Payton and other retired legends, as McMahon mentioned, if the ranking of the 75 stars is measured by the standard of not winning the championship, Harden can really hope to get close to the uncrowned kings of Iverson and Nash.
Although this time into the discussion of the 75 big stars, Harden's ranking is indeed lower, and I hope that he can take it as his goal to continue to move forward, to regain himself after the transfer of the 76ers, if he can help the 76ers win the championship this season, then Harden's historical status will naturally be greatly improved, and the doubts about him will gradually disappear.
