Former Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden is in the middle of a terrific season with the Los Angeles Clippers. He was an All-Star in the 2024-25 season after averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 assists, and 5.8 rebounds while guiding the Clippers to a 50-32 record and the No. 5 seed in a tough Western Conference.
Harden then put up 32 points, 11 assists, and six rebounds in a tough overtime Game 1 loss to the Denver Nuggets on the road. Clearly, The Beard still has it and was able to put everything on display in his second season in LA after his messy divorce from the Sixers.
Current Sixers guard Quentin Grimes hopped on "The Young Man and the Three" podcast and told a story of how he played some pickup with Harden while he was a member of the Houston Rockets. Harden was so impressed that he helped him get to the University of Houston through a phone call to Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson. That led to Grimes giving a lot of praise to Harden.
Grimes stated on Harden:
It will be interesting to see if Harden and the Clippers can find a way to have a deep playoff run. A combination of himself, Kawhi Leonard, and a healthy supporting cast could make LA a sleeper team. Of course, they will have to find a way to get through the Denver Nuggets in Round 1.
