Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden is already one of the best players in NBA history, but on Monday, he set another triple-double record with Larry Bird.
Harden recovered somewhat after a tough start to the 21-22 season, scoring 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Nets to a 117-91 win over the Detroit Pistons. It was his 59th career triple-double, putting him tied for seventh with the Boston Celtics legend.
James Harden has always been known for his offense, highlighted by his cunning and ability to score in many ways. However, he's improving in other areas of the game, and his passing and rebounding skills have been greatly improved on the Nets' talented team.
Beard is no longer a one-man performance like he was at Houston, so it's no surprise to see him continue to accumulate triple-doubles.
After catching up with Larry Bird, Harden has a lot of work to do if he wants to overtake Celtics' idols and other players on the roster. Everyone knows russell Westbrook (185 points) and Oscar Robertson (181 points) are the triple-double Kings, followed by Magic Johnson, Jason Kidd, LeBron James and Wilt Chamberlain.
However, in addition to breaking the record, Nets fans are undoubtedly happy that harden Sr. can return slowly but firmly.
