Lakers’ LeBron James Left in Awe of James Harden for His Spectacular Bucket Against the Kings

James Harden is a playmaker who has developed a great Basketball IQ over his successful time at the NBA. We see him getting doubled-up, but his innate ability to analyze the defense moves and make quick transitions often allows him to get the job done. Often, his moves surprise even the opponents like LeBron James.

One such exhibit of an unbelievable play from James Harden came against the Sacramento Kings in the Orlando Bubble. Rockets comfortably won the game 129-112 with Harden putting in 32 and Austin Rivers adding 41.

When James Harden left LeBron James in utter shock!

The Beard used the old weapon from his artillery. He bent, dribbled like an automated crushing machine, and pierced through the defense to complete a point. Guard Cory Joseph of the Sacramento Kings took a Harden treatment as he got totally beaten by the athleticism and judgment of the Rockets’ scoring specialist.

LeBron James viewed the post by Sports Center and could not keep himself from reacting to it. He wrote, “My goodness!!!” The video was taken from various angles to show the kind of precision and art it took to complete that twirl into the basket.

This was not the first time Bron has praised The Beard

The Rockets have lost only one game since their outing in Orlando. Thanks to the duo of James Harden and Russell Westbrook, they are gunning for becoming #3 in the Western Conference. Harden is a smooth and clever wing player who has a lot of patience and this comes handy in the first half of the game. Most people argue and criticize his clutch time play but LeBron James has a different image of him.

Noting Harden’s bucket ability, LeBron James has said, “He’s one of the greatest scorers we’ve ever seen in the game.”

James Harden, 30, has total NBA career points of 20,890 as of August 10th, 2020. That is still far behind LeBron’s 34,195. But The Beard still has a lot many years left in him and the stats speak for the records he can break in the near future.

Houston Rockets vs San Antonio Spurs is on August 11, at 2:00 PM ET. Let us see if Harden can put a stop on Spurs’ playoff chances.
