NBA Legend Shares Massive Praise for James Harden
James Harden hasn't received a ton of love this season. In the first few months of the season, everyone was taking turns taking shots at Harden. Now, after the Clippers started winning some games, Harden is finally starting to get that love back.
After the Clippers defeated the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, NBA legend Isiah Thomas spoke about Harden on NBA Gametime. It wasn't Harden's play that specifically impressed Thomas, but his ability to raise the Clippers' chemistry.
"I'm extremely impressed with James Harden," Isiah Thomas said. "Not by the way he's playing, but by the way he's' made his teammates fall in love with him. They really like playing with James Harden. James likes giving up the ball and he's scoring."
One specific instance that Thomas really liked was the moment when Harden drained multiple threes against the Indiana Pacers. A moment where Harden made snow angels on the court and his teammates all rallied behind him.
"When he was hot the other night and he made the threes and then he fell on the floor and he made the snow angels, I liked seeing him that happy, but what was really more impressive was the teammates who gathered around him, happy for him because he's playing well," Thomas said. "This is rubbing off on the Clippers, they've got great chemistry right now, they're playing well."
After going undefeated the entire month of December for 21 straight days, the LA Clippers finally had their 9-game winning streak snapped by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now, they hope to start a new one against the Boston Celtics on Saturday.
