James Harden - Superb Separation (Iso King) 17/18 Part 1

- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- James Harden. 2018 NBA Most Valuable Player. 6x NBA All-Star. 4x All-NBA First Teamer. 2013 All-NBA Third Team. 2012’s Sixth Man of the Year. Led the league in assists in 2017 (and finished second in scoring). 2018’s scoring champion. 2x USA Basketball Gold Medalist (2012 Olympics in London and the 2014 FIBA World Cup of Basketball in Spain). The Beard is a bucket, and an abusive one at that. He gave it to defenses in every conceivable way: Harden was the league leader in points per game (30.4), 3 point field goals made (265, compared to second place Paul George’s 244) and attempted, free throws made (624, compared to second place Anthony Davis’ 495) and attempted (on 86% shooting), he also generated 8.8 assists per game (good for third in the league, behind Russell Westbrook and LeBron James). He lead the league in Player Efficiency Rating (PER) with 29.8, Win Shares, Box Plus/Minus, and finished second to only LeBron James in terms of his Value Over Replacement Player.
The Beard broke down defenses with his dizzying, dazzling dribbling. He danced and danced until his defenders were dazed and confused. Until they rocked to and fro from his riveting and rhythmic movements. He’d shift and tilt and jab and jerk and juke and then hesitate and devastate. He had his guy whirling and twirling and then he’d turn on the afterburners with his frightfully forceful first step and then it was over. He’d either muscle his way to the cup, read the direction the defense is leaning and fire the perfect pass, bust out the insane in-between game he’s honed over the years, or rock his signature stepback for a more or less (to him) open jumper.
(Then again, what else would you have expected from the man when he works with PJ Performance? If you haven’t given that guy a follow yet, I would strongly recommend it. A link is available in my “featured channels” section. His page is crucial for basketball knowledge and to become a better athlete in general.)
The Rockets decided that the optimal way to play this past season was to utilize two of best shot creators in the league. With Harden’s potential being truly unlocked by the D’Antoni/move to point guard fusion in 2016/17, many wondered how exactly Chris Paul’s arrival would impact Harden. What ended up happening seemed like an anomaly. In the era of pace and space, and secondary break action, Harden and Paul were isolating for large chunks of the shot clock. The reason was obvious: from day one, they were preparation and perfecting a game plan with which to attack the practically unbeatable Golden State Warriors: work the early offense and get a great shot, or use their flow to force a mismatch via the switch, and isolate and devastate that switch. Ultimately, it resulted in falling just short (by virtue of missing a historic number of three point field goal attempts (giving annoying life to pointless argument “live by the three, die by the three”)) of doing something that seemed unimaginable since Kevin Durant decided to take his talents to the 73-9 Warriors…but man oh man, did James Harden light up the league in the about 90 games he played this season.
These are for the regular season only, and feature no finishes at the basket or passes.

His step back is legendary his separation is one of the greatest ever ISO King
His step back is a travel
Cass&JJ Parks yea he takes two steps with one foot an then the third step with the other foot
Jae HitEmUp23 lol, how is that travel, go slow-mo and check the timing when he pick up the ball
Paul張元柏 not all are travels but he gets away with it easily look at 9:15 an slow it down that’s 4 steps, three if you don’t count the first
Jae HitEmUp23 how? He pick up the ball when he got his left foot down, and end up with landing on both feet after he push off his left foot. How was that 4 step?
harden just super smart. he simply just outsmarts most people in NBA.
Exactly. He the goat
he has no iq
@@dopemango4653 Who needs IQ when you have such a talent?
Yes but his teammates choke him.
tim w exactly he outsmarts his opponents when he see he can get a foul he does when he’s getting triple teamed he can get open
the between the legs dribbling is so mesmerizing its like hypnosis, no wonder why he is able to get so much separation in his step backs and drives
Separation? May as well call it a divorce coz it's over
LMAFOOO
Nice comment😁
Fuck you
Luh Sanchez woahhhh chilllll
@Phukk Yoo Phukk Yoo is certainly creative huh
He got superb separation on the defensive side, too
mf clicked on this video just to hate😂
😂😂😂
There has never been another player like James harden.
harden highlights are the most beautiful to watch but 1 day I watched a full game and saw him put up 20 3's. usually that's supposed to be an entire team but he did it by himself and only scored like 5 but no doubt his dribbling and separation is one of a kind
It's just a matter of if he's on or off. Nobody can stop him. And he makes it look so freaking easy.
crazy, I. remember playing one one one against this dude for fun when he was still at Artesia at open gyms. He was the goofiest silliest guy, always had you out of breath from laughing
Sure
Anonymous bullshit
treelo_the_first jealous...
@@troliskimosko by the way,I played d1 ball on scholarship, so ive played against a lot of nba players, entire teams, even kobe during a college visit. so 1v1 w/ harden, especially when i was still in middle school isnt that crazy, we lived in the same county.. just felt like sharing.
Okay flight
That’s the cleanest Shots Shooting I’ve ever seen! Way 2 Go Harding! Reinventing the Fade-away Jumper with a Side-Step or a Step Back. Clever
Harden did a lot for his legacy in these years.
Not enoug, but a lot nonetheless
Harden's hesitations are lethal.
His step back and spacing got me dead laughing 💀😭
Good to see Harden practicing social distancing
It annoys me how so casual he is about taking ankles, meanwhile I’m struggling for air and airballing the damn thing
0:39 Too much sauce!
too much bro!
Hardin has the strongest left leg n da world with all dat double step backing lmao
Harden's ISO game is what Melo's needed to evolve into for him to stay relevant in the modern NBA.
RIP Wesley Johnson 🙏🏾

Harden not only chatting with double step backs. He also chatting with full step before dribbling. Left foot out, right foot up, then dribble....
There is a patan to harden's step back, as he is sizing up the defender he wants them to give him a direction and then which ever direction they give him is wea the step back will be
Harden’s just to good great defense by Jeff Green thou @1:57 - 2:05
Damn he missed that last one.. I was about to go brazy
Nima Elyasi lol you tried to be funny, 0 likes tho
@Nima Elyasi dude was just saying his opinion bruh
Leave him alone he just wants to use terms he knows nothing about
Crazy*
miss this Harden Rockets
Harden takes step back before jumping to bed.
You just gave us a montage of the single play in Houston's playbook.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Houston Rockets offense.
Except, you know, when Chris Paul runs the offense or Harden gets one of his 8 assists, or when Harden drives to the lane.
Anthony DePaola
You can still get assists off isolations... if you beat your man, someone has to rotate for help, meaning someone’s wide open. And a ton of his iso’s come off PnR, meaning a roll man is there to get an assist off of
Such ignorance
If that's the case then that's more of a testament to how great harden is
Ladies and gentleman, how the rockets went to the conference finals
the king of step back
The thing about his step back is you know he’s gonna do it but you can do anything about it
James harden been social distancing before the virus
Everyone who’s in love and highly impressed with Harden’s game will without doubt say they know basketball... Just like every coach or organization will say they know basketball.... Why do you think some organizations win more than others? Some analyze what actually wins games.... Some can’t look past a score.....
Harden just studied his defense’s position and sees how willing they are/ how aggressive they are, then uses that info to his advantage and kills them
James Harden is the G.O.A.T. of Traveling and oh lay defense and the prince of Ball Hogging... (Kobe is the King of Ball Hogging)
Lol i have a game in a few hours and a vid on my fav player pops up thx a lot we almost have the same shot i left a like👍🏾
Great video Evin
The fear in a big mans heart on an island with Harden. SMH they helpless literally
King of traveling violations.
Brought to you by the travel channel 😂
Awesome clip 🖐⭐️
Harden is a bad man but he travels sometimes on his stepback. Lol Im not hating. Yall see it too
a gather step does not result in travelling
Yeah, true, but only sometimes. When he miscount the timing he gather the ball
@Gerry Buckets it might be more than that. Harden has it timed very well.
@@paulchang9229 yeah they misstep on dunks too. Plenty people take 3, 4 or more steps on a layup or dunk
Harden's shoes gotta have the best traction out of all the players lol.
At this point, his stepback should be along the same level as Kareem's skyhook. Everybody knows he's gonna do it, but nobody can stop it consistently.
Something this video doesn't show tho is how good Harden is at blowing by someone. That's why those stepbacks are so effective cos he can just as easily blow by someone instead of stepping back so they bite
Is it me or can he not shoot a regulation jump shot?
Even when wide open in the mid range after blowing by a defender, he always pauses, retreats back, gathers his footing and opts for a step back despite unopposed.
Not that I'm criticising, cause it obviously works real well for him.
3>2
Dominique Raval rockeys system and coaches don’t like mid range shots.
NotAcasual BBallfan True, but as in 3:25, where he's clearly wide open for a mid range J, he still opts for a mid range step back despite no defender within vicinity to block his shot
I just wonder whether it's a case of him just being so used to shooting a step back regardless of circumstance
Again, not criticising him of course because it's so damn effective for him lol
Dominique Raval maybe he feels better shooting on the move rather then open. He does shoot a lot of contested shots
Master your craft. What’s the point of being good at many things when clearly being GREAT at a few things can find you a million dollars and being deemed unstoppable?
To answer: no I don’t think he can shoot a regulation jump shot
Damn. And to think Harden, Westbrook, and KD were in the same team a few years back.
Some of those defenders was all on him and he still hit nothing but net
MY GOATTTT
3:57 James Step sideway
Caster : James STEPBACK
James Harden is a created player
best step back ever
D BEST Step back Player
He travels more than nomads
Man I loved young Houston harden
Is he old now? He's just 31or 32 now
Thanks you are the best !
I don't understand how this push off with the forearm into the defender is not an offensive foul.
Harden style ✌🏻✌🏻
man has the most suspicious stepback before the league changed rules
He repeats the dribble move between the left legs circling over and over creating little separation for him to crossover and drive or step back
Mano o coração dele só pode ser de gelo, pq tem mta frieza na hora de definir as jogadas kkkk
no questions for being the mvp...go!!go!! rockets!!!!! james harden, the best player for us here in the philippines!!!!!!hooohhhhhh, fight houson rockets|!!!!!
James crosses wesley
James:..... you Good?
Wesley: ye..
James: saiiiikkkkkkk
Wesley: :(
It's an educational video about social distancing.
he was harder to guard when his shooting mid range... what happened to him now... always shooting only 3s?
if Harden was drafted in 84, your goat wouldn't be your goat.
Harden was drafted as a bench player behind Westbrook …. Definitely not better than MJ lolZ
Spectacular
3:37 Curry break dance 😂
This why we draft wesley Johnson at pick 2
Lmfao
He literally ended wesley johnson’s career w that. I haven’t seen the man play since 😂
I have never seen two man screen help before a player. Or i never noticed.
Could somebody please post a 1920x1080 version of the thumbnail for this vid? Damn that is hilarious and impressive
So on the second step back after he broke his ankle he does a step back and then another step back to get in 3-point range. If you pay attention to the step backs where he does it one step back he's adjusting both feet before he shoots. It's traveling at it's peak, he's talented but still traveling.
The rest of the guys are only there just in case Harden accidentally picks up his dribble early and needs a reset...like human save points.
Marv Albert: "Harden, Just 6 for 20, but he has 29 pts...." bout sums it up for James H.
Death By Ostrich you do know he shoots around 45% for his career ; that’s the same as Kobe
damn! he's unguardable..........
Harden only shoots on the left , he only goes left .
That's what left handed people tend to do
Great player. Phenomenal ISO skills but this doesn’t win u a championship like Kobe said since it’s easy defense. When u put the best defenders on him for 7 straight games he’ll be exhausted while the rest of the team is standing there waiting for his ISO game.
David Chiu 💯 i love his iso game but at the end of the day he is human
David Chiu he single handed took gsw to game 7 and 6 and in both they had no awnser for him he averaged near 35 vs them in the playoffs he was the closest thing to taking down golden state and it’s not that he did not get enough help or he chocked golden state was just to good and he gave all he had plain and simple
Greatest of all time
I watched this in super slow-mo, and most of the step back are three steps process. The first step is not off the dribble which we can considered a zero step or the gathered step. Why can’t NBA ref just review all Harden moves in super slow-mo?
that style only wins games not championships
watching 9 minutes of James Harden, how many times did he dribble the ball through his right leg?
His team travel Game pretty lengedry
There was no separation with Manu. The defender was still at the zone
respect for the beard
Compilation for cutters please
They said his stepback is about the timing. His already holding the ball most of his stepback.
Moonshine J3LLi3 Wrong that’s why you sit on the couch and used to warm the bench
Harden on that park sh*t ! !
Soooo....the 2nd play he took 2 steps then he paused. Ref shouldve called traveling.
Definitely traveled
Double step backs clearly.
Zero step
@@dmayo5623 No bro..Even if he had synchronized his zero step correctly,he wasn't allowed to pause before shooting.He should make the shot immediately after the 2nd step!! Its travelling without any question
@@georgemarampeas5964 That is nowhere in the rulebook LMAO. You are allowed to shoot, pass, or stop after taking your 2 steps.
MVP
Harden's step back look like piano
There is so much traveling. He is moving his pivot foot like going to the market.
gatherstep
why does toyota center looks so damn empty?
James Harden should have been in Uncle Drew
Uncle Drew's great granddad 😂He already has an old person beard
@@ovosteph3244 true
Let's not get ahead of yourself / kyrie is a fool too /
Hey that's on me / I got ahead of myself/ you said in / my fault /
iso king would never get champion although Harden makes it very good looking.
When you play iso, other team players aren't doing nothing. So the iso shots gotta make it or getting all blames.
So often you can see Harden travels all the time. "travel" king. slow down the play at 4:08.
Broccoli Fan not a travel. Look up the “zero step rule”
0:35 he still travels after breaking someone's ankles lmao
The okc coaches should be kicking themselves. They had harden Westbrook Durant ibaka and didn't win a title.
0:17 - 0:25 *D I S R E S P E C T but R E S P E C T*
4th best shooting guard ever
It's easy to be an ISO king when your main weapon is travelling 70 to 90% of the time!😝
2:27 travel
@rishi balachandran dont waste your time on people like this they dont know basketball or play basketball
Derozan plss
We are all living in the Jamesial Epoch of the late Jorda-Kobenian Period of the Secondary Chamberlainian Era. 😁
Superb separation that never wins championship smh
Who cares hes a dog
Picks are not isolations
