    I wanted to focus on his best defensive plays. You know, ones that any Defensive Player of the Year would be recognized for. I believe if Jimmy made these plays, he should get just as much the credit.

    I'd gladly make a Part 2 if needed, but I think this shows his defensive talent well enough.

    You can add 2 more just from the last few possessions of this Suns game.

    I wanted to keep the highlights within the past 2-3 years. Just to help his MVP case

    That is what you are up against OP .. its the biggest blackball in sports history. It would take a monumental force of ROX social media wizards supplied with much more than 2 minute clips to offset the hate and preposterous takes that Harden has to deal with. Its the most pathetic assault on a player I've ever seen.

    As others have pointed out, it's a very good start, but you should add more plays so the video gets longer! Good job, OP.

    Thanks for the effort OP, but the average NBA fan is vicious and I think they would point to:

    1) There are plays from last season, while any other player has made enough defensive plays to not need to go back to last season; and,
    2) There are plays in there which have nothing to do with Harden.

    Again, thank you for the effort. I enjoyed watching the video even though it was made for a different purpose!

    P.S.: If you guys want to help OP out, go through the games and find him clips that he should put in there. It's not reasonable to have one person go through every single full game of the season, and defensive plays are often not part of highlights.

    Lets make this the official “post videos of good defensive plays by Harden” so we can help OP make the video longer.

    Also, post defense should be posted too since he not only stands his ground a lot, but most of the time he gets the steal, that’s not easy to do.
