In the recent match of Rockets vs Bucks, James Harden [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/james-harden/] broke yet another record. He became an NBA all-time left-handed scoring leader surpassing former star, David Robinson. It’s not even been a week since the season restart and Harden has begun the bonanza already. For those who are not aware of it, David Robinson is a former star player who devoted his career to one franchise, San Antonio Spurs. He retired back in 2003 and was the highest lefty scorer in NBA history until a day before the Beard crossed him. JAMES HARDEN CROSSES DAVID ROBINSON AS THE BEST LEFT-HANDED SCORER IN NBA Robinson was with 20,790 career points and Harden is now six more than that massive figure. He achieved this feat in the last match against the Milwaukee Bucks despite his poor performance as a scorer. It was a disappointing shooting night for the big man with just 5/14 from the field. Grading the Houston Rockets this season: James Harden [https://spacecityscoop.com/wp-content/uploads/getty-images/2017/07/1210654385.jpeg] Well, Harden is just 30 years old with more years to go in the league that could set another huge benchmark for the upcoming players. Rockets lead man Harden is a two-time scoring champion. It looks like he’ll get another one this season as well, averaging 34.4 points per game. Harden holds huge numbers, one of them being the 44.3 field goal percentage. A REAL CHANGE FOR HARDEN AFTER JOINING ROCKETS Previously until 2012, James was playing for Oklahoma City Thunder, and even amongst the bigs managed to bag the Sixth Man of the Year Award. It was only when he joined Houston that he stepped into the lead role of a team. Ever since Harden has been their ultimate scorer and leader. Now he has got paired up with another offensive beast at the start of this season, Russell Westbrook [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/russell-westbrook/]. This duo has made the Rockets a tough competitor in the Western standings. They will definitely be looking to take away that title this year. The start has been great for the team in Orlando but will the momentum be retained till the playoffs? The upcoming match for Houston is against Portland Trail Blazers on the 4th of August and later they will take over the season favorite Lakers. Source: Twitter – Bleacher Report?

As of this season, only the Houston Rockets and the Minneapolis Lakers (1954-1955) have made it to the Playoffs with a losing record. 
In 1995, the Houston Rockets were seeded six in the Playoffs and became the lowest seed to lift the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. Four players have claimed the NBA MVP award while wearing the Houston Rockets Colors. They are Moses Malone (1979, 1982), Hakeem Olajuwon (1984), and James Harden (2018).

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is James Harden?</h2>
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.
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.

<h2 class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="text-align: center">James Harden's early life</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">James Harden's wife and children</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">James Harden's career timeline</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.

[caption id="attachment_2205482" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2205482" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0045805835h.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1748" /> December 19, 2019, Los Angeles, California, USA: James Harden 13 of the Houston Rockets during warmups prior to their NBA, Basketball Herren, USA game with the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday December 19, 2019 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

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.

James Harden

Who is James Harden? James Harden has been one of the NBA&#8217;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. 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&#8217;s current greats. James Harden&#8217;s early life James Harden was born on August 26, 1989, in Los Angeles, California, and spent most of his early life there. James Harden&#8217;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. James Harden&#8217;s wife and children 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. James Harden&#8217;s career timeline 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&#8217;s All-American for his performances. Harden&#8217;s basketball coach Scott Pera was a huge reason behind the latter&#8217;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&#8217;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.

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 though he is not his MVP self 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. Nov 14, 2023; Denver, Colorado, USA; LA Clippers guard James Harden (1) during the first quarter against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena.

<h2>Russell Westbrook: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</h2>
Russell Westbrook was born on November 12, 1988, in Long Beach, California. NBA's Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2017 was named after his father. Russell has a younger brother named Raynard and married Nina Earl in 2015. Currently, 'Russ' plays for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/">Los Angeles Lakers</a>.

He started his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/">NBA</a> career in 2008 when the Seattle SuperSonics (which later became Oklahoma City Thunder) drafted him as the fourth overall pick. He rose as a superstar while playing for the Thunder. Westbrook won the MVP award in 2017 when he averaged a triple-double for the season. He also set a record for the most triple-doubles in a season, with 42.

However, he was traded to Houston Rockets prior to the 2019/20 season. While his start with the Rockets was decent, injuries and questionable fit meant that Brodie ended up with a disappointing season.

Westbrook was traded again to the Washington Wizards. While the 2017 MVP did help the Wizards to the playoffs, both the parties agreed to part ways. Before the start of the 2021-22 season, Brodie was traded to his hometown team, Los Angeles Lakers.

While huge things were expected of the star trio of Westbrook, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis, it turned out to be a remarkably disastrous season for the Lakers as they failed to qualify for the Playoffs.

Westbrook has also represented the US national team twice, winning gold medals in the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics. Moreover, Westbrook plays at the point guard position and wears jersey No.0.
<h2>Russell Westbrook and Los Angeles Lakers</h2>
After a decent season with the Wizards, rumors of Westbrook's potential departure started swirling. As the dust settled it was clear that Westbrook was on his way out, but his destination was not set.

Just as the market opened up, it was the Lakers who reportedly had a trade for sharpshooter Buddy Hield. But these rumors were immediately squashed as the Purple and Gold swept in for Westbrook. Trading away Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and multiple picks, the Lakers added a third superstar in Westbrook.

Brodie joined a stacked roster led by the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, injuries to both Davis and James didn't allow the team to build chemistry. Westbrook bore the brunt of the criticism as the Lakers failed to clinch a Playoff spot.

Although he showed sparks of brilliance, Westbrook was inconsistent under Frank Vogel. His public spat with the head coach didn't do the franchise any favors.

According to reports, the Lakers have tried to trade Westbrook away throughout the offseason. However, Russ seems set to enter the 2022-23 season donning the purple and gold.
