Good to see Harden practicing social distancing

Harden's hesitations are lethal.

harden highlights are the most beautiful to watch but 1 day I watched a full game and saw him put up 20 3's. usually that's supposed to be an entire team but he did it by himself and only scored like 5 but no doubt his dribbling and separation is one of a kind

It's just a matter of if he's on or off. Nobody can stop him. And he makes it look so freaking easy.

It annoys me how so casual he is about taking ankles, meanwhile I’m struggling for air and airballing the damn thing

That’s the cleanest Shots Shooting I’ve ever seen! Way 2 Go Harding! Reinventing the Fade-away Jumper with a Side-Step or a Step Back. Clever

Harden did a lot for his legacy in these years.

Everyone who’s in love and highly impressed with Harden’s game will without doubt say they know basketball... Just like every coach or organization will say they know basketball....

Greatest of all time

Damn. And to think Harden, Westbrook, and KD were in the same team a few years back.

MVP

His team travel Game pretty lengedry

Harden's shoes gotta have the best traction out of all the players lol. At this point, his stepback should be along the same level as Kareem's skyhook. Everybody knows he's gonna do it, but nobody can stop it consistently. Something this video doesn't show tho is how good Harden is at blowing by someone. That's why those stepbacks are so effective cos he can just as easily blow by someone instead of stepping back so they bite

Brought to you by the travel channel 😂

James Harden is the G.O.A.T. of Traveling and oh lay defense and the prince of Ball Hogging... (Kobe is the King of Ball Hogging)

He repeats the dribble move between the left legs circling over and over creating little separation for him to crossover and drive or step back

King of traveling violations.

damn! he's unguardable..........

Harden on that park sh*t ! !

I don't understand how this push off with the forearm into the defender is not an offensive foul.

So on the second step back after he broke his ankle he does a step back and then another step back to get in 3-point range. If you pay attention to the step backs where he does it one step back he's adjusting both feet before he shoots. It's traveling at it's peak, he's talented but still traveling.

I have never seen two man screen help before a player. Or i never noticed.

Is it me or can he not shoot a regulation jump shot? Even when wide open in the mid range after blowing by a defender, he always pauses, retreats back, gathers his footing and opts for a step back despite unopposed. Not that I'm criticising, cause it obviously works real well for him.

I watched this in super slow-mo, and most of the step back are three steps process. The first step is not off the dribble which we can considered a zero step or the gathered step. Why can’t NBA ref just review all Harden moves in super slow-mo?
