James Harden

James Harden’s 2024–25 season with the Los Angeles Clippers was a statement in control, durability, and elite production. Averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 assists, and 5.8 rebounds across 79 games, Harden returned to All-NBA form—his first selection since 2020 and the eighth of his career. He ran the Clippers’ offense with pace and precision, spacing the floor, creating open looks for teammates, and still calling his own number when the moment demanded it. His play powered a 50-win season for Los Angeles and was central to their first-round series battle with Denver. A constant in a shifting era, Harden once again proved why his name belongs among the game’s elite.
