The Houston Rockets entered today’s game against the Sacramento Kings without their superstar James Harden [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/james-harden]. The Beard is sidelined due to an ankle injury, but their offseason acquisition John Wall [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-wall] is handling things pretty well. While the scores are tied at 64-64, Wall is having a sensational game. He already has 16 points along with 3 steals and is looking just amazing. When the Rockets traded Russell Westbrook for Wall, many doubted their decision. Honestly, Wall was struggling with lingering injury troubles for the last couple of seasons. But this season, Wall is finally healthy, and he is flaunting his incredible skill set in just his 2nd game of the season. JOHN WALL TURNS BACK THE CLOCK FOR AN INSANE BLOCK AND AN ACROBATIC LAYUP During the dying minutes of the 2nd quarter, Wall displayed his top-notch defense. He blocked Kings’ towering center Marvin Bagley III who never saw Wall coming while attempting a dunk. Following this dominant defensive play, Wall dug deep in his back for an insanely acrobatic layup at the other end of the court. If he can keep up this performance for the rest of the game, the Rockets might win their 2nd game of the season. They are currently 1-2 as they lost their last fixture with the Kings. If Wall leads the team to a victory tonight, one can’t help but think – can he lead them if James Harden leaves the team? CAN WALL BE THE LEADER FOR THE ROCKETS IF JAMES HARDEN DEPARTS?

Mandatory Credit: Carmen Mandato/Pool Photo-USA TODAY Sports In the 2020 offseason, the 2018 NBA MVP [https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/hardeja01.html], James Harden, demanded a trade. He has been with the franchise for 8 years, but they have never even made it to the finals. Many believe that it is finally time for the franchise to move on from Harden. Furthermore, if the team does decide to fulfil Harden’s trade request, they will get a hefty trade package in return. Along with young stars and the resurgence of John Wall, the Rockets might be in a good situation after all. But what are your thoughts on the future of the Houston Rockets? Should they place their trust in John Wall or is it too soon to say?

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is James Harden?</b></h2>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">James Harden has been one of the NBA's most talented offensive players over the last decade. The bearded shooting guard is known for his crafty style, superb ability to create his shot, and excellence at driving to the basket and drawing fouls.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">After being selected #3 overall in the 2009 draft out of Arizona State, Harden first made his mark with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He, however, blossomed into a superstar after a 2012 trade to the Houston Rockets, developing creative moves like his signature step-back jump shot. With his scoring touch, he won MVP honors in 2018 and three scoring titles while with the Rockets, solidifying his status among the game's current greats.</p>

<h2 class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="text-align: center"><b>James Harden's early life</b></h2>
James Harden was born on August 26, 1989, in Los Angeles, California, and spent most of his early life there. James Harden's parents are James Harden Sr. and Monja Willis. Since his father was in and out of prison throughout his childhood, Harden was mostly raised by his mother. He was the youngest of three children and there is a ten-year age gap between him and his next sibling. His elder brother is Akili Roberson, who has played college football. His elder sister, Arnique Jelks, is an interior designer.

Harden was nicknamed Lucky by his mother because Willis had multiple miscarriages before giving birth to him. Raising her children in Compton, Willis encouraged them to pursue sports to stay out of trouble.

The Beard developed a love for the game of basketball when he was very young and started playing the sport passionately. Soon, Harden became one of the most talented high school stars in the state. After graduating from Artesia High School, Lakewood in 2007, he received multiple college offers and committed to Arizona State University. Harden played two years of college basketball where he impressed many and declared for the NBA draft in 2009.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>James Harden's wife and children</b></h2>
Harden has been in romantic relationships with many high-profile celebrities, like Amber Rose, Khloe Kardashian, Brittany Renner, and Ashanti, among others. Currently, the 2018 NBA MVP is rumored to be in a relationship with model Jessyka Jenshel.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>James Harden's career timeline</b></h2>
James Harden started playing baseball after his mother Monja Willis encouraged her kids to pursue sports. A young James then turned to basketball and fell in love with the game. He soon developed impressive skills and always believed that he would one day play in the NBA. A few years later, he was a high school superstar and led his team to back-to-back state championships. Harden was also named a McDonald's All-American for his performances.

Harden's basketball coach Scott Pera was a huge reason behind the latter's success in high school. So Harden promised Pera that he would commit to whichever school he joined. After Pera joined Arizona State University as an assistant coach, Harden kept his promise and committed to the school. Harden's ascension continued in college where he caught the eyes of NBA teams. After two years, he declared for the NBA draft in 2009.

The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Harden as the 3rd pick of the draft. The Thunder already had young stars like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in their ranks. So Harden had to earn his time and come off the bench. He did not start any game in his rookie season despite playing 76 games. Also, he started only 7 games in his three-year stint with the Thunder. In his third year, Harden won the Sixth-Man of the Year award averaging 16.8 points per game. However, his time at OKC came to an end after the Thunder lost the 2011-12 NBA Finals.

OKC could have had one of the best trios ever. But they were reluctant to give Harden a Max deal, and he was not ready to accept anything less. So the Thunder traded Harden to the Houston Rockets, which allowed him to showcase his full potential. In his first season with the Rockets, Harden erupted for 25.9 points per game, which was a massive jump from the previous year. He also made the All-Star Team for the first time in his career in the same season. Harden continued his offensive dominance and was unstoppable at times. In 2018, he was the scoring champion and also clinched the NBA MVP award. He won the scoring title in the next two seasons as well. However, he could not lead the Rockets to the NBA Finals.

After spending nine seasons with the Rockets, Harden played for the Brooklyn Nets for less than two years. He then joined the Philadelphia 76ers in 2021 and has been an integral part of the team since then. Even <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-overconfident-james-harden-emphasises-respect-after-securing-second-straight-dub-for-clippers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">though he is not his MVP self</a> anymore, Harden is still a great playmaker who has averaged over 10 assists per game in the last five seasons. He was also the assists leader for the 2022-23 season.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Wall was a highly heralded prospect coming out of Kentucky and into the 2010 <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> Draft. He was picked #1 by the Wizards, and Reebok signed up the 20-year-old on a sneaker endorsement deal and made him the face of their brand. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The explosive guard immediately impressed as a rookie and put up averages of 16.4 points and 8.3 assists during the 2010-11 regular-season. He bolstered the Wizards’ attacking options, and they knew he was one to keep. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Washington signed Wall on a five-year extension in 2013, and he became the face of the franchise. His career-high of 52.0 points came during a December 2016 game in a loss to the Orlando Magic. Things were going well for the Wizards, with Wall and Bradley Beal dominating the backcourt. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, disaster struck when Wall suffered a heel injury in December 2018. He quickly underwent surgery for the injury and hoped to return the following season. Unfortunately, further complications made it worse as John Wall ruptured his left Achilles tendon at home. The Wizards kept their faith in him until the 2020 off-season where they traded him away to to the Rockets for Russell Westbrook. Wall felt betrayed but was able to brush it off to return to the court after two years on the sidelines.
