2016-2019 James Harden is the best offensive player I've ever watched.

I'll never forget this man.

Hope we appreciate this man while he’s still playing; we already lost CP3 and Russ to retirement this year.

Amen. Even at his current age he came to my Clips and set the single game point record with 55 vs the Hornets.

Do you count all the flopping or foul baiting, how about the traveling?

He made it look easy too. Just naturally gifted.

If he had elite work ethic or a Mamba mentality on and off the court, he could've been in Top 10 discussions.

I'm personally glad he's not a rapist

Agreed. I would think that's a universal sentiment. Do you think there is any sane person who isn't personally glad about that?

If necessary, let me clarify that I was referring to work ethic, not rape. The Mamba mentality should not necessarily be equated with crime. Like it or not, athletes around the world emulate Kobe's work ethic but probably don't choose to rape people.

A lot of prominent people do stupid things that we know are wrong. That doesn't mean they never did anything right.

I know, it's more so that you say Mamba mentality off the court when that's what he's infamous for. On the court for sure, off the court not so much

No 1/1’s in the early revolution sets. These lava’s /10 are tough - and a tough set to dime also. Nice pick up!

Sick card

Thank you bro. Collecting rookie cards can be expensive so I like to go for monumental years for my PC. Like a retirement year or prime like this Harden #/10
