I’ve been sitting in the cut watching James Harden literally destroy professional athletes for the past month or so. Usually when a boy is killin’ it like that you say, “Yeah he’s ballin’ but we’ll have to see what he’s going to do once he gets to the NBA?” Well…he’s in the NBA doing whatever he wants to do wherever he wants to do it.
Ole boy put up 58 on Wednesday night in Brooklyn in a 145-142 overtime loss to the Nets but nobody’s trippin’ that they took at an “L” because he scored 58!!! He just popped Memphis for a season high 57 on Monday night!!! That’s NUTS!!!
Harden has scored at least 30 points in 18 straight games and has reached 40 in 9 of the last 12. You read that right. It’s insane what he’s doing in these NBA streets right now. He’s shooting the lights out of everybody’s gym and he’s getting to the free throw line like a G all night. On Wednesday night he went 16-of-34 from the field, knocked down 21-of-23 free throws, came down with 10 rebounds and threw 6 dimes in the process. Incredible.
You do realize he’s doing all of this in the NBA right? This could be a Most Valuable Player-type performance if the dun was winning but you can’t drop 58 and lose. Many times they just give the award to the best player on the best team and not necessarily to the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. In order for him to be my MVP he’s gotta be winning games like that. However, I could care less about who the MVP is during the season because I just want to be entertained. What this cat is doing at this moment is head and shoulders above anyone else in the league and i’m enjoying the ride.
It should be fun to watch to see how long he’s going to destroy boyz this year. There seems to be no answers for him and it doesn’t look like anybody’s getting any closer to finding the secret formula for slowing him down. Stop me when I start lyin’!
