James Harden and the Clippers join list of NBA Big Fours

The LA Clippers' recent acquisition of James Harden marks another chapter in the NBA's history of "Big Four" partnerships.

Harden joined Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Russell Westbrook to form a quartet of superstars. So far, the trade hasn't reaped benefits for LA -- the Clippers have yet to win a game, while the Philadelphia 76ers are 6-1 since moving Harden.

LA's decision to trade for the former MVP came months after the Boston Celtics also created their own Big Four. Boston made separate trades for Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday during the offseason, pairing the two with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
