His game is so simple. If you breach his dribble space, he blows by the lead foot. If you don't breach his dribble space, he steps-back in any direction to get his left side off square to the player guarding him. They can be so close, but because they're not square and often on their heels from the dribble-jab, they can't do much to contest. I love it.
@@brooKlynKiteflyer how about can you explain why those laps happened in the playoffs or your going to give the typical response most people attempt to give
Crazy simple play style. You know he can drive and dunk/lay so you try to prepare for that so whenever he decides that you’re ready for the drive, he’s gonna step back and away from your lead foot so if you jump, you’re not gonna reach him to contest and if you jump too hard then you’ll foul him. you can’t even contest the shot unless you’re reach is insane like Giannis. Other than that, its all up to whether he makes it or not.
I'm a hater but become a fan because he perfected the step back and pushed the rules into the limits. Yes it was a same move over and over again but I don't know why it is so satisfying to watch 🤣😂. Even the defenders knew what he is going to do but fell for it over and over again
@@brooKlynKiteflyer kawhi injured, outplayed Paul George, Westbrook put up the worst playoff series ever. Harden averaged 21/8 on 61 ts% and he’s not in his prime.
@@thelegendoof8744 yet, he choked when it mattered the most every single playoffs lmao Hardee's is most over rated player in recent memories. After the rule change regards to flop foul call, the dude is useless now...
The ones were he picking up his dribble stepping forward and stepping back like 1,2 is a travel I think the only way that's legal are the ones were he steps forward and lands on both feet at the same time like a hop step
It matters when he picks up his dribble and when he plants the first foot to propel himself backwards into the step back but I will admit he travels on the step back occasionally

Wow interesting
Do you also love hardens performance during the playoffs?

@@brooKlynKiteflyerdo you like basketball?
Every move you make
Every stepback you take
I will be watching you
I just, so, miss him...
My man is not just travelling, he is taking vacations...
Only James Harden could pull off nearly 29 mins of stepbacks in just half a season.
Blame a portion of that on 90 percent of his points come off of isolation which is taxing
Stationary tween, tween, jab (gather), stepback, splash! He hasn't relied on it much this year, but it's my favorite play in basketball.
Yessir!
How is it possible to hate a player so much that you love him with everything
NBA account: Luka best stepbacks
Rockets: Hold my beer
Hold my Beard
That account was Giannis'. Lmao 😂
Harden is half the player Luka Doncic is.
On god lol
Flynny poo ur so dumb😂
imagine having nearly 30 minutes of step backs from one season, THAT WENT IN MIND YOU
A season tht wasn't 82 games at tht
6:35 Patrick Beverley is lucky hes not in surgery after that... lol
Let’s go! My favorite player!
6:36 unbelievable
ahmet ince one of the all time highlights. Imagine 2 great defenders fail miserably at blocking ur shot and converts an and 1
Nah, Harden's just good at flopping. He needs a job in the Premier League or La Liga.
Flynny poo they legit ran into him
@LeGoat JordanJames harden is weak af so he flops from little things lmao he ovvvvverrr exaggerated thwt
Flynny poo lmao you need an eye check up. Also need to stop hating too
the simplest and the most lethal move at the same time
And they say kemba is the step back master?? Thats almost a 30min clip of hardens stepback. Lmao
Would have been a hour of step back if the season and playoff ended
Ralu Nwosu agree
If they included side steps and step backs, it will be over 1 hour

Watching this high is even better. It’s like watching poetry through basketball.
Man harden was something special during his prime
Been waiting for this one, finally!
the thing is these shots where well defended and contested but he make it look so ez
STEP BACK KING ⚡️
JAMES HARDEN IS THE GOD OF STEP-BACK..IN THE BASKETBALL HISTORY !! 😍😍😍😍😍 AND ALSO "THE MOST UNGUARDABLE MVP ENIGMA" 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 MY FAVOURITE !!
James Harden looking at James Harden highlights: WOW!
Mans stepback is literally lethal
endless stepbacks same moves but never bores wow fear the beard
1:19 Rui nervous af
He knew what he was finna get hit with 😭
Da best player n da league I love his playground skills
How is he the best??
He is the best offensively. James harden dropped 40+ on EVERY SINGLE TEAM in the nba. Kawhi Leonard is the best player in the league today.
@@seifsamara7545 yeah but he is still trash at defence
@@cyan_exodus9340 dont comment if u dont watch the rockets
7:19 The amount of Times Bam was gonna play help defense was hilarious
He is both the history and future
For every step back I think he is going to drive then he just creates separation and shoot . Just imagine guarding him
Harden's Step-Back is on the same Tier as Kareem's Hook-Shot IMO....... but he's getting 3 points instead of 2s..........
100%
4:50 is too funny lol
Step back king
The stepback 3 is as signature as signature moves get

He just dribbles you to sleep once he's had three seconds to look at the rim and lock in his three is basically in.
Honestly I don’t think we ever getting this James back
Giannis : Kemba is the step-back master Lmao.
Phil Tsoi , that’s because he gets so much space & is quick with it.

He should’ve won mvp this year. Giannis got it 2020 but I thought harden had better stats
6:57 i laughed so hard when the 3 crashed together haha
irving influence crossover .harden wd d stepbackthrees then beal wd d hesi moves .ds moves will never be forgotten
I need to learn that STEP BACK CONFUSION MAKER
one of mostcooles stepback with 3s
James Harden stepback so much I'm surprised he managed to step outta the womb🙆🏿♂️
Beverly got his shytt cracccckkkdddd
What an interesting an engaging offense to watch 🥱
It might not be fun to watch but is damn sure efficient
For u but for me its like art in motion. 🤩
Man he just needs to get back in shape simple
The fact that this is damn near 30 minutes... 😂😂
Harden is on 🔥
6:36 the sickest and 1 ever
If this is the harden that move to the philly i think they are in the conference finals right now
here for the shoes blue and pink one so I can double step back to all my problems
very unique step
Imagine picking Kemba over the beard 😳😤🤫
Capela is wide open end of story!
That’s how you know he’s the mvp

I miss harden man he doesn’t look right in the nets jersey
idk how akampo says kemba is the stepback master.
akampo?
Tomas Taxa only legends knows who says it
The most unguardable move EVER. And it's worth 3 points. The Sky hook is jus as unguardable but it's only worth 2.
But it's made less often
7:33 was so Mint
Who’s here after Harden join the nets?👀🔥‼️
Me and im sad
Offense god
Bro I don’t get it , how do you guard this man
In todays league everything is a foul so just abusing that so u can't play defence in this league that's why
I agree. How do you guard him?
You cant, you just pray he misses
Or you deny him from getting the ball
He travels every time. He step back
Check your eyes kid🤣
Came to the Rockets channel just to say that... Pathetic 😓
Also check your punctuation marks. Enough evidence that you clearly don't know what you're saying.
@@dr4gonbornnn you get the idea.
He loves his travelling. Wonder what suitcase or airline James Harden uses. I'm curious to see.
FEAR THE BEARD
Im not suprised this is 28 minutes long
Next Video: Every Freethrow Line Shot By Harden *Should Be an hour long*
It's wonderful
it's so easy to guard him, when he steps back just step front
Harden13 is the new Iverson3
How many step backs was that😭
Only harden would have a half hour of clips of the same move
Regular season dribbles dribbles step back magician.
Playoff disappearing magician. 🤣

What is air apparent ?
What if there’s an alternate universe where James Soften takes a step forward? me Smokey marijuana
This is hilarious
Couuuul
Finally
Imagine how long the video would be if they included misses😳
Imagine that you can't even be at his level
Well considering that he shoots 6% higher than the average player taking that shot, 37-31, I'd say that doesn't matter too much
How many travels?
The only thing James Harden gonna be “Steppin back” from is a title 🤭
let's see you win one
Exactly if he doesn't get the entire Team involved. He needs yo pa2 the ⛹ ball
⛹ ball hog 👑 King
@@user-og5zr7hk6w I bet Trollvid-20 can pass the ball. It seems like Westbrick and Harden can't pass the ball if their lives depended on it.
