This man is a real life game of 2k
He traveled on a couple of those
Yeah I see it now that u mention it bruh
Sonny Deez lol why you havin a conversation with yoself? forgot to switch to that burner 🤔😂
Chur Bo damn, yeah. No wonder I don’t have more likes
Yeah, with the sliders set to 100 for fouls and traveling turned off
I can't believe 2019 was 5 years ago...I remember this like it was yesterday.
Man it’s hard to believe 5 years ago he was averaging 36.1 ppg and now he’s the 3rd option on a team. At the time, it felt like he was averaging 35 ppg every season and dropping 40 every other game, it really did. Crazy how fast 5 years goes but it’s also crazy how slow 5 years goes at the same time
@@JustAnAverageJoe12I think he injured his hamstring the year after this…took away his explosiveness🫤
It was my first NBA game when i traveled to New York. Couldn't have been better. What a show from Harden.
Before y'all start saying he took 38 shots...MJ took 37 in a 60+ point performance. Lebron took 33 in a 63 point performance. Kobe took 50 just to drop 60(his final game but still stands. Oh, and MJ took 23 free throws in said performance. Harden is on a scoring run like we have never seen...Respect Greatness!
Oh and harden took 25 free throws in this performance
61 points on 38 shots is still very good
Jacob Hickman who asked? No one so stfu
@@TheWesleykid go ahead and point me to where he shouldn't have shot free throws. Ill wait.
Jacob Hickman we have seen scoring like this before actually. *COUGH* 2006 Kobe *COUGH*
This is me in rookie mode in mycareer smh
I dont get 61 even like that 😅
Y’all trash then
> he only gets 60+ in rookie mode
tf, 60+ is easy on any difficulty
MVP Award would be well deserved this year.
That's all he can achieve....he will never get a ring
@@ninetyrraven9529 He's achieved more and made more money than you would see in 10 lifetimes
@@ninetyrraven9529 you can say that all you want but iverson was an all time great and won nothing so was john stockton your just a straight hater
@@neverless.1 none of them have rings....you proved my point.
@@ninetyrraven9529 your ignorance pisses me off, I hope your mothers brakes dont work tomorrow
He was really unstoppable at this time
It was an honor to watch. That hamstring injury cut the prime short unfortunately. Hope he can still do work this season though
Yeah me too rough start in LA though@@carnage3208
One of the best scoring stretches by any player ever
@@Sterlingx11 hands down
@@Sterlingx11I think this year or the year before , he broke the record for most consecutive 30 point games… which was Kobe’s
I'm pretty sure he will score 70+ pts in a game by the end of the season. (Unless Scottie Pippen teaches the below average teams how to guard him better.)
Pippen did make some good points.
I don't understand why teams continue to play him on his right side leaving his left hand open for a drive? Are they more worried about the step back 3 right than the left hand drive?
Comment how bus better Steph curry or James Harden on E purple
I understand that 61 points is a great achievement, but come on this is ridiculous, nobody wants to touch him even a little, because he gets calls for every. single. touch. smh
I don't think the Pippen thing will even matter. People "claim" the 76ers shut him down with Pippen's suggestions, but he scored 37 in about 3 quarters. Had the game not been out of hand and he actually played the 4th, he would have scored 40 plus. The dude is unstoppable right now.
Lol 37 in 3 quarters using Pipen defensive plan
This what we need in the playoffs this year
And he was MIA when they needed him most 🤦🏻♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@zackjohnson4176 every superstar is Mia when it’s playoff time only one team can win I don’t see y’all talk about Paul’s George cp3 jimmy and other like y’all do to harden
😂😂😂😂😂😂
And look how ut turned out 😂
The fact that this man has multiple 40 plus point highlights is fucking insane Houston James was without a doubt a damn problem.. bruh what a time! 🔥🔥🔥
He puts a lot of time into his game, and that should never be overlooked.
By faking like he's being hacked when he loses the ball driving through the lane.
Vintage James Harden is different
Damn he already vintage😂
Oh my God watch when he keeps this up and averages 40
cla clash next year my friend he’ll bring it to a whole another level like he did this year tbh I thought he was in his prime when he won mvp but this nigga was like fuck that and proceeds to dominate and average fucking my career numbers in this modern nba era
@@arsenai4935 Keep dreaming
Oml...ain't nobody stopping this guy...straight up balling🔥🏀🏀
This man has 2k sliders on 100 everything 💯🔥
LLanden Custard draw foul too
Except defense..
what? he is 5/20 in the 3 point line 100 on everything LOL
@@MichaelKing015 ayyee u right
@@M.Westen haha true
Ok I give up.. he's MVP despite the multitude of free throws..
And taking 30+ shots a game
Play at .25 speed his euro steps are 3 and even caught a 4step no call travel but he got layup AND 1.
Great job nba having betting now smh.
@@thunder3784 your point being? Kobe averaged 27.4 shots and 10 FT a game during the 06-07 season. During his 4-game 50+ game streak, he averaged 35 shots and 15 FT a game. In the past 5 games, Harden has averaged 52.2 points a game on 32 shots and 17.8 FT a game. Funny how similar the numbers are but how different the reactions have been lol
Ty Spy that’s not a travel
@@vanchark what's funny is I hated Kobe at the pinnacle of his career but learn to respect his gameplay... I don't like harden even more nor his game but I guess I can give him credit..
i miss this dude play like this..i hope he still can.
He let himself go when he destroyed his trademark look
Hamstring injury hampered his speed
Madison Harden💯😭😂
Madison Square Harden
🤣🤣
Madison Square-beard Harden
Harden back to back MVP💯💯
Back it's a rap
@@Ravichang there are 40 seasons in league history where a player shot more ftas/g than Hardens career season high ftas/g. there are 271 seasons where a player shot more fta/g than Hardens career average.
More floppy than a disk.
REAL MVP
@@Ravichang Reading comprehension, get it. I never said the nba has been around for 271 years. I said that 271 times, a player has shot more ftas than Hardens average.
The truth is free, you should look into it.
one of the greatest to ever do it 🔥
Here after luka dropped 60 points 20 rebounds and 10 assists
This guy is a living beast. Scariest thing is i'm not even surprised at his 61 now. Respect.
What a very high score for Harden.
04-04-19.
The Knicks put up a great fight tonight.
But they're still the Knicks.
Fizdale with the clutch technical.
they're tanking.
We played a great defensive game
Kept the rockets to 25% from three
Finished the game strong
And saved the tank at the end
A real knicks fan would be 100% happy with this outcome
@@AndreNdoye You’re the only good that came out of the Knicks ever had, pathetic
@@AndreNdoye But then again, y’all suck, even with all that effort wasted
This harden was crazy
Always loved Harden no matter what
Who’s watching this in 2023
F u
3:15 is this real life? James just stole the ball lol
Man, once you let this man dribble with rythm past halfcourt, it's all over, it's just gotten to that point in James' career where in-game, that dribble move creep to the 3-point line is just about automatic when he gets hot from 3 point range.
Amazing performance and shootijg
45% Shooting Too ... Played Defense .. 15 Rebounds not bad
James Edward Harden we had some good years here in H-town brother…. We you the best and thanks for the memories 🤘🏽🚀
James harden:*fails to break Melos record at the garden*
Melo, u can break my career
But u can’t break my record
And he can break his heart
What was Melo’s record ??
@@jamescarter2013 63 I think
He still got a career high. Melo got about 7 years to get a career high 62 pts. His team was New York. I guarantee u. Put Harden in NY instead of Melo. 70 like Booker. ez
@bcmoore1995 you do realize Melo got traded to the Bulls, right?
Making it look effortless
We must never forget that sometime in his career Rocket James Harden had been a different breed.
Honestly the most impressive thing about this game is his steals
best 1 on 1 player ive ever seen
Top 4 SG ever
Phenomenal. Just phenomenal.
yall cant tell me he's not helping his team offensively and helping out on defense.
@Jaime Gonzalez What are you smoking on that was back in 2015 you idiot
cla clash he literally is the only offence
@@lifesfailure939 Do you want me to tell you that his team now has no clutch? His whole team this season sold him. Missing game winners when they dont pass it to Harden. Harden tries to win games and he gives up fast break points when people are ahead of him. He's a team player, he improved his defense despite that play vs Derozan in 2018 Spurs vs Rockets. What Im trying to say is that if Harden's hot, they give him the ball and he drops points to help win the game. Agree or Disagree who cares
cla clash case in point he is the only offence, you just enforced my point, besides all harden does is stand around until he gets the ball and shoots for a 3
Harden is fool's gold
That moment you realise that he was serious about winning the mvp again😱😱😱
Only Bron could stop it but not anymore.
Just respect him..Hardwork pays off.
Awesome game
Miss you Harden 🤘🏼😞
He was soo quick sheesh
Wow so many travels
2:30 nice travelling Harden. Keep up!
James Harden got crazy handles!
This man is something else!!!
Harden The Machine
He started the game in literally the best possible way....///GOATlike
Am I the only one who thinks James Harden needs to watch his old videos so he can get an idea what to do in certain moments and also get more motivated? I am sure he's enough motivated and knows exactly what he's doing but still I think it will be a great benefit to watch some nice plays from previous games.
I watch this every night
Crazy, man
I LOVE JAMES HARDEN FOR REAL I'M A HUGE FAN OF HIM HE'S BASKETBALL EFFORT IS PRICELESS 🤤🐐❤️
This man will be different with a real big man
61 point. Amazing ..
I like how his 60th and 61th point was a game winner
He becomes more intimidating day by day!!!
extra step is so crucial, wish we could do that shit... it's like adding 33.3% more options to your game!
Harden ONE LOVE!!!
Goodness...
Monster!
"The swag step" - I like that
We are experiencing greatness
My hero 🙌
My idol James harden
Oh My Harden
he did this on the regular mind you
crazy
this is why hes my favorite player
61 pts 15 rebs 4 asts 5 stls with NO HELP!!!
MVP😀😀😀
I've been thinking about this for a while but I think there is a chance he'll score 70 or more in a game, especially if he has a really hot shooting game.
Harden been going crazy
James Harden is here to put on another show!
Getting ready for the free throw contest @AllStarWeekend...
I miss that james harden💔
Double Harden and leave anyone else wide open and they’ll miss anyways 😂😂😂😂
Ai got the same treatment damn near his entire career lmfaooo and he still killed everyone
TheCrower77 even if they double harden rockets are a team with many shooters so the results will still be the same
People would still be hating on harden if he missed all of his free throws (Shaq and dwight attempted just as many if not more). Free throws are a part of what makes an elite scorer.
He doesn't get fouled. He sells fouls.
Revisiting for the reminder of how great Harden was/is
@Stretch Gang Nation gained too much weight
From Sixth Man into MVP MAN!!!!
James Harden is differnt 💯
James dominating with his Harden signature shoes thats my man
the beard is the real power!!!
WOW
C mamo Harden
Haciendo honor al MVP
Houston James harden was different he was going off scoring he had 40 points Games 60 led league in free throws two years straight
He loves to pass the ball
I remember from before continuation. I used to think it was cheap. I can't imagine basketball without it now.
Harden soul the best song
IDOL
They couldn’t Do a longer highlight video only 3 mins cause more than a third of his points was from the FT line
Shut up you are just triggered
He is a monster
MVP, NO DOUBT ANYMORE... Just wait for the award.
I just saw a great performance and some traveling as well
on heat
MVP AGAIN
Nice
When you turn rookie mode on 2K 💀🤣
