James Harden has been a standout player ever since he first arrived in Houston back in 2012. The star shooting guard has taken a step forward nearly every season, but his arc of improvement has been the most remarkable factor of his journey.
While most players gradually get better each year until hitting a peak and then slowly declining, Harden has improved by adding entirely new tricks to his arsenal; he is a completely new player now with his deeper bag of tricks compared to when he first burst on the scene, and it’s all thanks to his improvisation and creativity on the court.
