Hated and unjustly vilified by many, caricatured for alleged flaws that are not so serious, and criticized for not being able to win a championship ring. James Harden has too many haters, but as time goes by, it becomes increasingly difficult not to pay homage to one of the greatest offensive players in NBA history, whose mature stage is proving to be much better than anticipated.

There are very few players who have changed basketball as much as James Harden has, leading to rules being created out of the need to curb his endless ability to score by exploiting loopholes in the regulations. His name will forever remain in collective memory for his years as a compulsive scorer with the Rockets, but it should also be remembered how he is adapting to the passage of time, becoming a much more complete player, capable of effectively leading his team without giving up his scoring abilities, and significantly improving in defense.

- Harden is the fourth player in history with the most games scoring 40 points or more

Evidence of this is what he is doing this year with the Los Angeles Clippers, increasing his averages in all aspects of the game compared to last year. He has taken on the key player role after Westbrook and George's departure, as well as Kawhi's indefinite injury. Everything revolves around him, but without it detracting from his teammates' game, quite the opposite. Seeing how he has regained his best physical form fills fans with excitement as they witness the legend of James Harden.
