James Harden is one of the top guards in the league, and there’s no doubt that he does most things on the court very well. He can fluctuate between scoring and playmaking and is a top-tier offensive player.
One of James Harden’s calling cards is explosive performances, and he is well-known for being a triple-double threat on any given night. Recently, he has reached a great statistical milestone, as he has become the 10th player in NBA history to get 20,000 points, 6,000 assists, and 5,000 rebounds.
Steve Nash has commented on James Harden’s achievement and claimed that he is “one of the best players of this generation” and added that “the numbers” support his argument and Harden’s greatness.

He’s historically great. The numbers he’s put up: incredible. He’s one of the best players of this generation. It’s mind-boggling to think about the numbers he’s put up and the success he’s had. He’s one of those very very special players, not only of his generation but historically. And the numbers back it up
There have been periods this season where James Harden has struggled, especially early in the season. With that being said, he looks like he’s turned a corner these last few games, and his averages for the season are still great. Harden is currently putting up 22.0 PPG, 8.0 RPG, and 9.8 APG, and it is obvious that he’s still an offensive force despite him not scoring as much as he used to in Houston.
The Brooklyn Nets are currently the 1st seed in the Eastern Conference and there’s no doubt that they have looked good this season. Kyrie Irving might be returning to the Brooklyn Nets soon, and Kevin Durant has been stellar all season. It looks like it’s scary hours for the rest of the league, and there’s no question that the Nets are one of the favorites to win it all.
