With his 10th point in Tuesday night's game vs. the OKC Thunder, LA Clippers star James Harden passed Reggie Miller for 22nd place on the NBA's all-time scoring list. Harden continues to climb up the all-time scoring list, and will continue to do so as he is still a high-level scorer even at this stage his career.

Harden has been great for the Clippers since he and the team struggled in the first five games following the trade. The team seams to have figured things out as they remain in pursuit of the top spot in the Western Conference. 

Playing in his hometown, Harden has spoken about how special it is to have moments like this not far from where he grew up. The Clippers have four hometown stars in Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook. All four players grew up in Southern California, and are hoping to bring the Clippers their first championship in franchise history.,

While Leonard is of course a two-time champion, Harden, George, and Westbrook are all in pursuit of their first title. This would make it even more special if the Clippers were able to reach their ultimate goal this season.

With the way they have been playing, the Clippers have a chance to do something special this season, and the Harden trade is a big reason why.
