#Good content I will comment #James Harden, born August 26, 1989 in Los Angeles, California, USA, is a professional guard, was selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder with the 3rd pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, and currently plays for the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA.
Harden was born in Compton, a volatile town in Los Angeles where many people wander around and even go to jail. Harden's childhood was always in prison, and his mother worked hard to raise Harden alone. Harden was a little fat man with asthma when he was a child, and when he was 9 years old, he began to contact basketball, regarded Kobe as an idol and a goal to work for, hoping that he could one day become a basketball superstar like Kobe. In junior high school, Harden was not favored and could only be used as a fixed-point shooter, Harden did not beat himself up, but frantically trained his shooting, and his hard training also created his excellent shooting feeling.
In high school, Coach Pera discovered Harden, thought he had excellent basketball talent and developed a series of training plans for him, and Harden's skills were gradually developed, winning the California High School League championship for two consecutive years and being selected to the All-Star Team. Due to Harden's outstanding performance in high school, he was invited by many prestigious universities, and Harden chose to continue to follow his coach into a university of Arizona with a very average basketball atmosphere. Harden became famous in the United States as a sophomore, averaging 20.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 50% from the field and averaging 7.6 free throws per game, leading the college team back into the tournament, and Harden became a sought-after player among many NBA scouts.
There were many talented players in the 2009 NBA Draft, and when the Thunder drafted Harden with the third pick, everyone couldn't believe it, even Harden himself. Harden sits on the bench with the aura of a prospect, but Harden never complains, trains hard every day, and spends time on the bench helping the team. In the third year of the NBA, the team reached the Finals, but the young Thunder lost to the championship-aspiring Heat Big Three, and Harden also won the first personal honor of his career, the best sixth man.
No one expected that this was the last season of the Thunder and the three young together, on October 28, 2012, the Thunder traded Harden to the Houston Rockets, since then the Rockets have been unstoppable, the Rockets have also soared, Harden has grown into a league superstar in the Rockets, won the scoring championship regular season MVP, and Harden has also gained many fans in the Rockets, becoming the only existence that can compete with the Warriors that year, and the scene of 7 defeats between the Rockets and the Warriors in 2018 is still vividly remembered.
On January 14, 2021, Harden came to the Brooklyn Nets to pursue his NBA championship dream, and no one expected that the Nets with Durant Irving Harden would fall apart in one season, and Harden also forced his comeback due to injury, and his state was no longer the same. Now Harden has come to the 76ers, although because of the injury age, Harden's explosive power is not there, and he is often complained about eye defense, playoffs crotch, but he is still the best two-way guard, helping the team and teammates in his own way, even if he lowers his salary to help the team recruit. On March 5, 2023, Harden contributed 19 points in the final quarter to lead the team to end the Bucks' 16-game winning streak, the familiar feeling, the familiar rocket board, even if he lost the All-Star, could not shake his desire for a championship. Neither Nightclub nor Rockets can change the fans' love for Harden, hoping that Harden will stay healthy and dream of a championship.
