James Harden

It’s good to know that Daryl Morey always has James Harden and Dwight Howard on his mind. Well, maybe not always. But certainly before he pulls off a blockbuster trade, like the one he brokered Sunday night, when he acquired embattled Ty Lawson from the Denver Nuggets for a lottery-protected first-round pick in 2016 and [...]

Coming off a poor performance and a blowout loss to the Warriors in game three, James Harden was clearly not happy about his performance and being down 0-3 in the series. And without a doubt, he planned on redeeming himself for game four. Boy did he ever… On the brink of elimination and a sweep [...]

Game two went down to the wire and the Warriors emerged victorious again. This game was without a doubt just as entertaining as the previous one, which 24 hours ago seemed impossible. Both Stephen Curry and James Harden gave the fans another epic duel, showing they were both every bit worthy of MVP consideration. Curry [...]

Houston has done it. On Sunday night’s do-or-die game seven, the Houston Rockets, who initially faced a bleak 3-1 deficit against the Los Angeles Clippers, completed one of the most incredible series comebacks in league history as they came out with the 100-113 victory to eliminate the Clippers and advance to the Western Conference Finals [...]

After starting the 2013-14 NBA season in the Nike Run The One, Harden made the transition into the current Nike Hyperchase. Despite none of those silhouettes having his name attached, all official Nike media surrounding last season’s Run The One and [...]

J.R. Smith would like to teach Kevin Love a lesson in teammate support. Asked about LeBron James’ triple-double performance in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Monday night win over the Detroit Pistons, Smith waxed MVP status, per ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin: “Who? The real MVP?” Smith said, his message echoing to the sellout crowd of 20,562 who were [...]

Campaigning for NBA awards has become an actual thing. Take the Charlotte Hornets, who are backing Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for Defensive Player of the Year (he won’t get it). Take the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are publicly supporting Andrew Wiggins’ Rookie of the Year case with custom-made socks. Take the Houston Rockets and general manager Daryl Morey, [...]

It was just less than two weeks ago when Rockets’ James Harden dropped a career-high of 50 points against the Nuggets. But on Wednesday night against the Kings, Harden went for another huge offensive outburst. He was on fire from everywhere, and no matter what kind of defense or whoever you matched up against him—he [...]
