Congratulations to James Harden: Now third on Rockets scoring list

Harden/CP3/Capela and company should be playing for a back to back championship this season. Injuries are part of the game........but this “what coulda/shoulda been” really stings because of how and when it happened.

I’m with you.

I think harden is the best player on the planet right now.

It’s our time

Cp3 still has juice and Clint is just the perfect animal in the paint does everything these two need and then some.

Just need the others to play solid and EG to get his game back.

 

So happy he’s on our team. He’s truly matured into a superstar, we ask a lot out of him and he almost always delivers.

On this Thanksgiving, be grateful that we have a player that always has us competing, the common denominator wasn’t Dwight, wasn’t Lin or Parsons, or Bev nor Ariza, it’s not even CP3, it’s Harden.

6 years later, 6 all stars, 6 straight playoffs, 4 All NBA first teams, scoring champ, assists champ, 1 MVP, 2 WCF apperances, countless single game records .... First game for us he scored 37 and 12 assists, tonight he scored 43 and 9. Consistency. Durability. Most of all, constant improvement. The guy truly gets better every year.

Harden is the guy that wakes up in Rocket red every day and balls out for this city, this board has gotten better, but sometimes I feel we truly don’t deserve him.

Congrats to James, got get Murph!

 

He’s also 2nd in total win shares as a rocket behind Hakeem but has about half as many win shares as Hakeem does. Wonder if he’ll ever pass him in either category.

 

Of the 13,000+ points he has scored, Ive missed no more than 600 of them (I've missed maybe 20 games since 2012)... Feels good to know, no matter what he ends up accomplishing, I have been able to witness nearly all of an All Time Great's career!

 

That shoulda woulda coulda stemmed from the Yao and Tmac era, also Barkley, Pippen, Dream........

 

One of the most explosive, efficient, and creative offensive force of all time! Up or down, always has been true to himself and just plays his game. One of the things I always found fascinating is his development as a person as well as a player. I think people can see that he's always been true to himself - he doesn't play politician or tries to overly build his image/brand, he's just himself. Fascinating individual who's cool and calm and under control. Shown ability to improve oneself every year (very underrated). 2nd best all-time Rocket! As a fan, excited for the rest of his career hopefully as a Rocket

 

Not a troll question: Realistically, can he surpass Hakeem on the list?

 

Hakeem was more a defensive juggernaut with tremendous offensive skills. Wouldn't endanger his No 1 status at all.

Harden has to win 3 ships to overtake him.

 

i’m not saying James isn’t the 2nd best Rocket of all time, but are we so certain he is?

 

I hope he never makes it to #1

Trade him before he creeps close.

You know I'm talking about the scoring list, right?

 

Had that in mind. No worries.

Was just a rant. /over.

 

You make a good point but in my opinion last year was the epitome of it all.

 

Has it really only been 5 yrs???? Man he already seems like a lifer.....wow

 

if he's here another 6 or 7 seasons he'll def pass Hakeem

 

Then, his first two games happened

 

SIX years 20 games

Rudy had that one injured season too. Only played ~25 games.

 

I was excited but I thought he'd be a perennial all star type guy- somewhere in between 1st and 2nd banana if that makes sense. I had no clue he'd be a top 5 player in the league.
