Harden's done it all, from league MVP to scoring champ and even earning a Sixth Man of the Year award.
One thing he hasn't been able to capture is an NBA Championship and there's a lot of work to do for him to get over that ringless hump.
That doesn't stray away from another achievement he earned on Thursday night.
In the first half of Game 6 between the Clippers and Nuggets, Harden added to his long list of milestones – moving up to No. 12 in all-time steals in the playoffs.
He achieved the milestone after passing Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler.
Harden now has 279 career playoff steals, putting him just eight shy of passing former Rockets teammate Chris Paul for 11th on the all-time list.
Although it is an awesome milestone to achieve, it's going to take a lot more than just steals for Harden to get over his postseason hump and achieve an NBA Championship.
It's worth to note that his current teammate, Leonard is currently sitting at No. 18 in the all-time steals list as well.
