@@Tech-cy9yo That’s not true at all. Everyone knows Barkley was great. Everyone knows Dominique was great. A.I. was great. Winning a ring doesn’t make you great it just means you’re a champion. You can be great and never win a ring. Everyone is not meant to win a ring except in this generation where guys stack teams to win a ring. It makes rings less valuable.
Remember him being my first and only fave player to watch back when he just got traded to Houston... Love to see him getting the recognition he deserves 🚀☝️ edit: i mean to say that when I was first a fan, he was underrated but since then he's been a mvp, all star and all that
For all the aspiring players coming for knowledge on how he does it, note that he always attacks the weak foot, or the foot sticking out towards you. In a drive attacking the weak foot allows you to get ahead while ur opponent has to turn around to guard you, giving you an advantage, and puts you behind you opponent. Of course, your gonna have to learn to be able to attack on both sides and layup with both hands
a friend of mine modeled his game from Harden since he is left handed as well. Sadly my friend past away a month ago and whenever i see Harden i remember him.
His game is so unorthodox I love it, I’ve been a fan since 14’ I have no clue Who will be my favorite player after he Retires I’m thinkin DLo his game is pretty unorthodox & smooth
One of the best footwork of all time and the saddest thing about that is ppl think he has a bad work ethic, when actually doing this requires years and years of training
Not underrated or deserves more respect; People hate him for overdramatic fake foul-baiting, lazy defence or even lazy enough to bent over and pick up the ball.
@@tonyj9743 you are probably one of those casuals who thinks harden's stepbacks are travels. besides, literally 70% of the nba population flops and sells their fouls. yet you guys only care when harden does it
@@russellwestbrick1754 Does he travel literally every time? No, when he does the legal stepback, it's damned fun to watch. It's the times when does zero step-step-step-step-step that people take fucking issue with and YES, he does that shit on the regular. Many an NBA legend has called him out for those travels.
Just reminded how quick Harden’s first step is in Houston. He exploded in front of a defender and just drove by him so quickly. Also he was shooting like 37% from step back 3s. Now he slows down by quite a lot. Not sure if he is able to pull it back to peak form whenever he want if he is used to playing like this.
bro his signature size up is unmatched i mimic it with my own spin on to and and boy i’ll tell you no one expects you to shoot when you have so much momentum build up and i’m omw to highschool and i been playin wit grown men at gyms since i was in middle school so i hope it continues to work bc that size up gives me many options to work with
Wow I haven't looked at any harden highlights in quite some time and then I go to UA-cam to find this video posted an hour ago. Niceeeee. Thanks for the vid 👊
Steph- The God of the 3 Harden- The God of Iso Kyrie- The God of Dribbling Kd- The God of scoring Kobe- The God of all Black Mamba's Bill- The God of Chips Mj- the God of competitiveness Tony Snell- the greatest player of all time :)
One of the most unique players of all time. Handle is godly and doesn’t get talked about enough. Reminds me of Gilbert Arenas the way he gets to the bucket by any means.
@@Wack_Miller lmao keyword 'just' dropped. But what has he done all playoffs tho? Unlike others I do NOT think Harden is washed and in decline, yet. He's just still not 100 percent from the injury and is still a bit overweight. Those are facts. Another fact is that Harden just isn't himself under pressure 🤷🏽♂️ So this beast shown in this video is honestly irrelevant imo if we don't ever get to see him in the playoffs
@@tonytooshort I’m on your side tho my guy. He’s not washed. He’s playing through a leg injury. I think if Sixers don’t pull it off this year, he’s fully healthy and goes Houston harden next year. At least I hope. Sixers in 6 tho
We all know he can attack the rim and shoot step backs, but he can also pass at a high levels and play respectable defense. People like to say he travels on his moves but really he developed moves that are within the rules that just so happen to look like travels. I’d say he’s the most complete guard in the game rn
Hmm maybe but Devin booker is seeming to grow into a much better guard than Harden ever is, he scores his points through fouls and insane shot attempts, no wonder he gets the points he does.
@@tutili0819 booker is way worse defensively than harden & no where near the passer ! Or IQ ! And harden a better 3 pointer shooter and free throw shooter booker is just better at midrange because harden doesn’t take them anymore like he did in OKC early Houston days !
KD is a better scorer in my opinion. When talking about scoring ..you must include FG and 3 point percentage..it tells how often you hit shots and he’s not even close to KD. Love James tho he’s under appreciated. The passing ability combined with being one of the best scorers ever shouldn’t go unnoticed ya know .
@@stopplaying6605 I agree with that that’s why I say …KD is arguably the best scorer ever arguably…and harden could be the best offensive player ever because of what u said the combo of passing and scoring but my only gripe with Harden is his average shooting percentages sometimes horrible throughout the years..I’m FG and 3 point percentage guy always have been. So that’s my only gripe with harden but he can control the game just as good as a Lebron as far as passing ya know. So yeah for sure
I'm brazilian mma fan one day i was basketball and i saw him dribbling and it was the first time that i enjoyed basketball. For me he is the best of this generation. He never disappoints , always plays nice
The threat of him blowing past is what makes the step-back so effective. The threat of the step-back is what makes it easy for him to blow past. Unguardable.
LOL I’m picturing senior citizens having their “ankles broken” by James Harden lol. But I know what you meant- if they moved forward in time, what would it look like? Still a lot of broken ankles, just in the figurative sense ;-)
Dam he was so good he just fell off a cliff doesn't look the same. He can't handle the ball and get past by people like he used to it sucks watching him now. Going to miss this version of Harden.
Where the heck has that floater gone? It's all either that step back three that he struggling with or try to get all the way to the Rim and hope for a foul? That floater would still be available to him.
He does the floater all the time and sometimes he fakes it and throws the lob. The real question is what happened to the step back jumpsuit he used to do, a lot of people forget his original step back move led to a midrange jumpshot and he would do it while he was driving to the paint

@Hayden Lasslettthen get out of here lmfao
Yes sirrr🔥🔥
Yessuhhh
Definitely bout to hit a million before next year.
One of the best offensive players in NBA history. But people won't acknowledge him until his skills get him a ring
Facts..plus he be kicking it hard af...need that kobe mentality...
He gets plenty of acknowledgement. He won mvp and he’s a multiple All NBA player. What other acknowledgement is he supposed to get?
Fax

When harden gets into that god mode of dribbling and step backs, there's nothing you can do about it.
The only thing that can stop him is the warriors🤣😭
Absolutely

@@ggxcash664 warriors dot really stop him lol, they just have a superteazm so they win but harden gives them work always in postseason
Harden has changed the way the game is played and not enough people talk about it.
Facts I feel like that's why so many people love to iso
Just curious how has he done that?🤔
@@neverless.1 what? Iso ball has existed since the Wilt Chamberlain era, then Magic, Jordan, Kobe
@@playcost never said it didn't all I'm saying is that's it's more populated now then it was back then
@@neverless.1 not really stop giving him credit for something he didn't do
Harden is a type of player who doesn't need to get in shape to cook you in playing basketball. He can hurt in so many different ways. 🔥💪
Gluttony
Blasphemous
what happened in the playoffs then
@@woodsglobe2514 he was on a second degree hamstring and still played is what happened...
@@stopplaying6605 which means hes not in shape
his stepback three dances were the most fun thing to watch in the game. no one got 3s consistently at will like he did through isolation.
He should have had a three peat of MVPs. They did him dirty.
Remember him being my first and only fave player to watch back when he just got traded to Houston... Love to see him getting the recognition he deserves 🚀☝️ edit: i mean to say that when I was first a fan, he was underrated but since then he's been a mvp, all star and all that
He’s an all star 😂😂😂
huh?? bro literally got all recognition he deserves
i dont think you are an NBA fan if you think he isunderrated
No matter if he wins a ring or not, he will be my favorite player ever.
Ayy thanks golden hoops for the harden highlights he is my favourite player
And my favourite player
same
im his biggest fan
Me too
@@TheKendeHD cap
….let’s be honest, James has to coolest size up to jumper ever. Even when he’s off it looks butter.
Hahaha that's a FACT. when he tucks that head an starts that rhythm dribble it's like watching a 2k 99ovr play sharp go to work lol harden the goat

Rest In Peace 🕊
Rest easy
Fear not the man that knows a thousand moves. Rather fear the man that knows one move, practiced a thousand times.
That Kyrie cross over was cold

Harden king of the step back
His "Fake travel" changed the game as well! Really coordinate the dribble with the footwork, takes lots practice to do that!
Greatest Isolation Player of All-time. Would’ve been nice if he made the Finals once as a Rocket against the OP Warriors
The rockets can never play the warriors in the finals...

I never gets tired of his play! Damn he’s good! 🔥🔥🔥
“He only goes left” with strength & change of pace you can go one way every time doesn’t matter
Had to comeback to this. Miss this harden
Heck the dude isn't even in the best shape/not the fastest and yet he's cooking everyone. The beard will always be one-of-a-kind.
Ive always hated guarding a lefty with slick moves💯
Yea that left hand throw you off every time
🤣🤣👐

this is eight minutes of james harden dancing with everyone on the court.
His dribbling moves are simplistic & not hard to guard but his ability to be unfazed by a defender is top notch.
Always watched this videos slow mo never realized how fast those handles really are

GOATDEN. underrated af, people not gonna know how godly he was until hes gone.
Harden in Houston was dynamique
If only I knew how to do the James harden step back frequently instead of doing the normal 2k step back😢
Just hold r3 and l3 down it will trigger the double step back harden does
@@michaeljordan5655 I’m on Switch 💀 thx for the info tho
Step back and bucket look easy when you see him do it
Other SG iso: they can attack with themselves
Harden iso: he can lead the team attack
What I love about him is always made it seem so easy. When Kyrie and Stephanie does it? Too hard, too complicated.
Stephanie?😐
Luka > Beardie
重劍無鋒，大巧不工！
stephanie is ur finals mvp CRY ABOUT ITTT
Golden hoops will forever have a special place on UA-cam and in my heart

exactly he would be the greatest of all time and probably average 50 for his career lol

As a sixers fan I just want this guy back😔
Hardens god ai is lord
Im from the Philippines and he is my Favourite Point guard🏀 he is the best play maker shooter and all around but no defense😌but he is my idol❤
Remember how good harden was that we were use to him scoring 40 pts every game and unless he made 50-60 no one cared
Nice! The Beard in BeardMonths! 🔥
