[Highlight] James Harden does his patented step-back and gets his first points as a Cav
Harden is a cavs, wow
This feels like a 2K save that got simmed too many seasons.
OKC vs Cavs or Rockets vs Cavs Finals would really make it a 2k simulation.
Cavs dynasty and Jonathan Isaac DPOY.
So two seasons
King James
what the fuck
no
He carried the weight of every expectation on his shoulders. But he never broke. We were all witnesses. Every rival was defeated. Every idol was destroyed. He took the crown and kept it.

Cleveland is great. It’s pretty different to when those (very funny) videos were made. It’s still Clevelandy in places but certainly a far cry from that
Hardamento
Haha unreal to imagine in 2018
I just got out of a thai prison, I can’t believe cavs traded Lebron for Harden.
Still cant believe this is real
Watching this makes me want Westbrook to come here next year and win with us (just another legendary player despite what he is now)
Still feel that way after the end of this game? lol
It’s more like.. Players that play their heart out makes me cheer for them.. so I want them to win a ring you know? Think Tmac, vc, ai.. plus their play style is fun to watch
And also I think the average fan disrespects Westbrook for how washed he is now.. when he was a great player in the 2010’s obviously. And still puts in effort to this day.. But I grew up watch the Nba in that era so maybe some bias
to me. i measure a players love of basketball and dedication not what they do in game. i mean who doesnt love playing esp big games.
its practice that shows true passion. not yelling loud and being emotional. so to me, sure james doesnt run fast or jump high. or yell loud every play. but hes shown more passion and love of ball then everyone you named. cause its pretty clear which one of these guys put in the work.
costing off god given talent vs gaining talent through hard work….. and if you ask how i know russ doesnt put in practice work.. well… dudes never actually gotten better skill/shooting wise. at least not by that much. since he never really had to til now.
That’s fair, they’ve all had amazing seasons and careers and yeah can definitely put in more work, and should’ve.. but also the other players (ai tmac etc) they had to carry a lot of bad teams for years or had unfortunate injuries.. I know it’s part of the game but I just have an affinity for them (even Demar or Jimmy Butler.. I mean they come from bad backgrounds Compton and Jimmy being homeless for a bit and coming to the league)..
I guess for me it’s more emotional and as I said I like how they play.. so yeah.. but I see what you mean and you’re right
But then again there’s only so much one player can do even if they did practice more.. still need a good team around them
You don’t want him on the cavs. Trust me
Before the deadline I definitely would’ve liked him over Lonzo
Lmao
I can dream! I’m just saying I personally think he deserves a ring but it has to be earned
Russ is a great second or third option who would ideally be getting maybe 15 shots a night
But he’s been a first option for parts of his career and he’s not a winning player at all and I’m not even sure you can win with Russ as a support piece, especially at this point
I also think that 16-17 season was a narrative MVP award because KD had left and he averaged a triple double but I will maintain that should’ve been Harden’s
And bring on KD only to meet OKC in the finals!
What a mirror match that would be!
Don’t believe the hype. Westbrook is still solid. He’s just not a #1 or #2 on a championship team.
Shit if LeBron can’t come, might as well get KD here for the 2009-2012 OKC last ride run
Win with you? Think you gotta get past the 2nd round for that.
Yup and next year we’ll have Lebron 🙂
Enjoy the beard, great player and guy to have around
They played the kings lol they’re still gonna lose to the Celtics 🤷♀️
Having paul george on your team really makes you appreciate Harden.
‘Preciatin’ P
Anti-Drug Policy P
appreciate Harden consistently quitting on teams
when has he quit on a team
Lol cmon
I actually forgot about fat suit Harden when I made this comment lol
You cant seriously think he was expected to stay on that rockets team? John wall and Christian wood????
I mean ppl say that but his averages for the rockets pre trade and his averages for the nets psot trade were pretty identical that season
[removed]
but fat suit Harden is all-time
He was just bulking for the playoffs
Username is blatantly wrong
Yep this is really happening
[deleted]
Lmao Clippers fans spend all this time loving harden then the second he moves on elsewhere so he can actually compete y’all start to hate him.
Most of them arent, most of the LAC sub still lives him, this guy is just a hater
This guy just likes to agitate. Harden’s departure was amicable by all accounts and Clippers fans by-and-large understand.
He’ll demand out…after the trade deadline? What
he’s that good
….ok
I take back anything I said bad about harden in the past lol
and I’ve said some truly awful things
This got me. 😂
we all grow and change
LMFAOOO
i dont but hopefully the 30 game rental turns into a ~55 game rental
My glorious king
We’ll take good care of him.
looks right ngl
Looks so fucking weird and wrong to me lol
In an alternate universe, the Cavs are a rebuilding team and they get a super washed obese James Harden to be a tank commander. Similar to when they had fat Baron Davis whatever year that was.
Luckily in this universe, they have him with some gas still left in the tank on a team that should have a chance at making a run.
Davis got the Cavs their first win against LeBron, plus the Kyrie pick. Good times lol
Baron Davis worked some Bruin magic and had Ryan Hollins looking like a superstar. It was the wildest thing.
Harden in a cavs uniform just looks strange
NBA players love making their Cavs debut in Sacramento
Probably the most moved big star in modern history. Shaq probably is the closest, but most of his moves were as he began to decline.
You could probably make the case for all 3 of the Thunder MVPs. Somehow all of them played in Houston too
KD - sonics, thunder, warriors, nets, suns, rockets
WB also moved around a lot.
It’s crazy how much that trio was traded around after leaving OKC. Pretty unexpected.
It’s clearly Dennis “EuroBasket MVP” Schroeder.
It’s crazy that the Cavs got two future hall of famers before the trade deadline.
I mean Schroeder might legit make the hall of fame based on his international achievements lol
James Harden looks good in every jersey lmao
Youuuuu light my fire
Harden in that jersey doesn’t look right to my eyes
Like seeing your girl with another man
Playa empowerment era
🔥🔥Cavs winning it all
Not a harden fan or a Cavs fan, but I would like to see this
fear the beard
Cavs got The Beard and The ‘Fro… too bad they had to release Luke Travers because he could have excelled as The ‘Stache.
I’m from NE Ohio and Harden has always been one of my favorite players. No matter what our outcome ends up being, I am so giddy watching him ball out in a cavs uniform.
HARDEN DIFF’d IT UP
So weird
ai slop. delete this
Lebron James about to transfer over smh
Only on a free one man
I miss you honeybun
My man is still elite
Get it Uno. I hope you get your ring. Nothing but respect from the Clippers fans.
Y’all will like DG especially next year. Even Curry was singing his praises…maybe he should see his doctor lol
Dude sounds like Chris Collinsworth
Him in a cavs jersey will NEVER look right
When some one do that. You always see harden from them
King Harden
CLEVELAND!!! THIS IS FOR YOU
Shit, this isn’t the jerk sub.
LeBron time to come home
We got Harden
Wtf ftw
Oh shit, now that we have Harden, we can get over 1k likes and 100 comments on a normal highlight.
We are so back!
That’s not his parented step back, he didn’t take 3 steps backwards
If he can commit to being a shooter, he can really open this team up.
I wouldnt recommend to check his 3 point shooting percentage in last 20 games
All that matters is clutch. Cant have bruhs (ie everyone besides Spida) afraid to shoot…that’s what happened last playoffs and was awful to watch
Agreed. They don’t really need him shooting if he can swing the ball to an open guy, but can’t have someone passing up open shots or dribbling out of an open 3 because they’re shook
5⁄8 last night
Start the countdown, im going with 18 months till he quits on this team. Dude is trash,
first and only pts, rofl
He dropped 23
good, since he was on my fantasy team. was worried after that 5 pt first half.
RIP ball movement.
It’s so weird seeing Harden in a Cavs uni.
He had 3 assists before he scored any pts
Still doesn’t mean pounding the ball and hoisting a stepback 3 with a defender in his face and 12 on the shot clock is good halfcourt offense.
But Mr. “I Am the System” has been doing it his whole career so I guess it’s nothing new.
I mean bro he’s one of the greatest scorers of all time lol. The ball movement has been great he got JA involved early. Plus that shit was open plus he made it lol like shiiit
Well okay, hope he does well for you all in CLE. I would never want to see him on my team doing this stuff.
You have a 7’5 guy who resorts to the same shit half the time lmao
Im a DG fan, but Harden is definitely more potent than him this year. DG needs to get healthy, he’s always was hurt, or played like he was.
Harden’s step back isn’t patentable btw. If players were allowed exclusive rights to certain basketball moves. It would be very bad for the league and competition as a whole
If it’s in the game, it’s in the game.
