SI All-Decade 1st Team https://www.si.com/nba/2019/09/18/nba-all-decade-team-lebron-james-kevin-durant-kawhi-leonard Stephen Curry James Harden Kawhi Leonard Kevin Durant LeBron James Look at Harden’s peers on this list of First-Teamers, and then consider how at times, Harden is seemingly more unstoppable than the rest of them on offense. There are legitimate discussions to be had about the aesthetic quality of Harden’s game, and whether or not his style of play is appealing to purists. There is absolutely no argument to be made about Harden’s production, however. He is a bucket-getter in a league of his own, and he’s basically been on a massive scoring binge over the last seven seasons. Harden has averaged at least 29 points per game for the last four years, including 30.4 in 2018 and an absurd 36.1 in 2019. How the hell do you stop this guy? He’ll lull you to sleep in an iso before stepping back and draining a three in your face. If you dare not pressure him on a high screen and roll, he’ll gladly take the space and let it fly from the outside. If you pressure him too much, he’s a willing passer adept at finding his bigs through lobs or his shooters on the wing. More than anyone else on the first team, Harden has seemingly hacked the game of basketball. That style of attack has earned Harden his fair share of detractors, but it’s also made him wildly successful. He probably should have won at least one more MVP. And the conversation about his lack of playoff accomplishments doesn’t always take into account his underdog status. Harden still has time to add hardware to his collection. He’s going to score a hell of a lot more points along the way.
