James Harden is undeniably a top-five player in the NBA. Whether it be his passing, shooting, penetration or a move from his endless bag of tricks, his offensive skills give the Houston Rockets all kinds of advantages against any type of defender. He can use his 6-5, 220-pound frame to overpower smaller challengers, and his handles combined with deceptive speed allow him to drive past bigger ones.
Last season, Harden’s best offensive move was his step-back 3-pointer. Despite the controversy it created, the move propelled the 2017 MVP to lead the league in scoring by more than eight points per game last season.
