Harden is unarguably a superstar

James Harden is one of the best players in the league, and this isn’t an opinion, fan-based idea. James Harden is absolutely a superstar. He is the only player in the league who can consistently and constantly score 30 points in a single half.

He does what he does every night with his incomparable scoring ability, which includes a Manu Ginobili-like Eurostep. The superstar just added a new skill to his long list of them in crossover dribbling where he crosses over an opponent and makes them fall, then waits for them to get up. It’s so fun to watch.

Allen Iverson had to be James Harden’s favorite player growing. Also, the way he draws fouls every time he drives the lane is impressive.

Harden captivates and takes the breath out of every team and their arena. Harden takes Houston’s breath away also; he is, after all, breath-taking and charming. He is everything to the Rockets and the Rockets are everything to him. The league needs him.

The league ultimately needs and would benefit from James Harden winning a championship. Harden has brought nothing but joy as an individual player and to a well-regarded organization who he has single-handedly revived.
