That was something personal they needed to talk in private especially if he didn't know
What'd he find out ?
The Chosen One look at 2:45-3:10
if he didn't want it in the interview...you don't think he coulda had it taken out?
that part is the only reason I came back to watch this again, they didn't film live so he could have told them not to air that part if he didn't want it shown
Could not agree more. Sometimes the public does not need to know.
When he said he thought he would be the sixth man forever it was so sad
CyberSoul He is so humble and I barely got into basketball and now I know what team to follow.
Omg yes bro
I mean early on i understand maybe first few seasons, but be honest he knows he would not have been sixth man forever... he even said coach asked him if he wanted to start. Truth is Mr Sam presti wasnt gonna pay my man james max bucks like he deserved so they had to trade
Having watched this and considering what's happened to OKC recently, all I can say is they shot themselves on the foot.... The three players must've been crushed for being separated just like that... Now, I understand KD's decision...
In essence, to the players, If you don't put yourself first, the franchise "businessmen" definitely aren't going to..... If you think you deserve better, make your best move ASAP... Because if they don't consider you a valuable asset they won't even think twice prior getting rid of you, so why should you if you're better and there are better organisations...???..
BELIEVE it wasn’t sam presti, it was clay bennett. he didn’t wanna go over the luxury tax
he shoulda def found that out from his mom and not in an interview.....
ceaser williams That was so unexpected
Bradley Dempsey yea he didn't even see it coming
ceaser williams yeah...
a real life twist I swear this only happens in movies. mum wrong for that one ishh
ceaser williams yeah tf awkward af 😂😂😂
Single mothers who have to go out their way for their children deserve so much respect
Kelkins 15 they shouldn't have kids if they can't raise their children.
True. All parent deserve respect. Parents should respect their children by not revealing things to the public that is unknown to the child especially personal.
so no fathers?
@@jobdoneright5934 that is true and that's what I teach my sisters, but sometimes women are betrayed aka my mum and it can honestly happen to the best of us
@@peace_ful_eyes women choose what man creampies them. So if you choose a loser man then that's what kind of support you are getting.
The way he put his head down and said I ain’t never knew that killed me 😭😭😭
I like James harden as a person
“PS Keep this paper imma be a star.” ⭐️
- James Harden
My son just ran into him today at a Chipotle. What a real gentleman. He took time to talk with him and take photos. Cheers Mr. Harden for making my son’s day! He’ll never forget it!
p.s keep this paper imma be a star
Spoke/wrote it into existence
That hit me hard😮😮
He wrote that for the interview
Threw a basketball at a girl😂. I'm dead.
Hey some of them suck that much nowadays don't blame him lol
ball is life
She should have caught it in a alley-oop
Now he got a technical
Although being traded to the Rockets was tough for him, it was one of the greatest moves ever! #RedNation
Da Kid Gowie what up bro?
Da Kid Gowie go rockets
True and now Russ has joined. Magic will be made.🐐🐐💪🏾💪🏾
@@1N3SOULhahahahahahha
IVE GAINED A SENSE OF RESPECT FOR THIS MAN. GOD BLESS HIM & HIS FAMILY.
Who wants to learn about their mother's miscarriages with a camera in their face? I thought that was pretty sleazy...
ItchyKneeSon RIGHT?!? That's a low blow man
Fucking ESPN craving for drama.
Fuck ESPN
ItchyKneeSon
none
He dropped a 60 point triple double tonight- So I had to come back and watch this! #ASUbeard
Ch-Ch-Check It he deserves the 2018 MVP for sure
erniedawg Anddd he GOT IT!
🦁
Harden real humble and came up in the struggle from a dangerous area, That's my MVP bro , salute Westbrook for a great season but harden deserves it . Btw this video old
Honestly, if Westbrook, Durant and Harden had stayed together, I dont think GSW would be what they are today. OKC would be on a dynasty. I think these three would be to much for any team in the league.
UyemaHD shut the fuck up
thats not true, harden wouldnt develop to the player he is today
UyemaHD Harden wouldn't have developed to the player he is right now. He might have moved up to starter, but he would be nearly averaging a triple double and doing what he is rn.everyone would've looked over him and just see KD and Westbrook. This is all because Westbrook loves hogging the ball
UyemaHD i agree. okc will be the best of the best team mote than lakers, cavs, and etc
Harden wouldn't have found his confidence. HE never would have became the player he is today. Sure, if you took him, Westbrook and KD from today they would dominate. But none of them would have been the same without the split.
When they were talking about thunder and he said he thought he’d be the 6th man forever, I felt that in my heart damn
meghan boyne facts
Freedom of speech on your behalf but I agree synonymously "damn" in expression as well.
Glad that didnt happen
most humble and down to earth a person could be, big up harden
Hope i can make my mom as proud as he mad his
TrappinforTuition just do you and she will be
TheGreatGambino great response but he’s talking about making his mother rich
Marc 0 wtf are you talking about his face was normal the only thing fucked up was teeth and he fixed that
Marc 0 Lmao his jaw wasn’t weird looking but at the same time it was not good looking it was just a bit below average but his beard hides that shit good though. .
Winter Robot James a catfish without the beard
when a reporter knows more about hardens life then himself
Why do I always find the best videos when I need to get work done? 😂
This man is a living legend. Watching him playing in 2019. 60,50,40 pts performances. It's amazing to see this humble guy on fire!
The true MVP
Rezaric yesss sir he is
Rezaric I love James Harden he is my favourite player still active. I even grew my beard out like him haha he's my favourite player since Dennis Rodman, but I can't argue with Westbrooks season, 52 triple doubles, averaging a triple double, having no pieces around him and somehow making the team gel. Both had historical seasons but Westbrook did something in averaging a triple double that only one other player in NBA history has ever done...
you da real mvp.

Behind the beard, is another beard!
what's behind that beard?
Alexander Salemme Another one ☝️
Lol your too funny 😂
Very possible
thank god he left khloe... rockets would be a lottery pick rn
God*
Waddy Maldonado I know right omg this fake bitch
Iliketoroast305 yes but when stating the true God you capitalize the g
MJ*
That had me rollin' !!!!!
Kevin Durant be like James Harden you the real MVP
you da real mvp.
When did this interview take place? Wasn't KD already in Golden State by the time the video was uploaded?
He was born without a beard?!!
Robert moisiuc hi p me
My whole life has been a lie.
Lmfao
Greatness.
yo this interview got info on him like nardwuar
Roberto v nardwuar got footage of Craig stealing boxes on his day off
Nigggggaaaaa
love the nardwar reference
@@PudWhacker what you tryna build a clubhouse?
Real OGs know nardwuar
Imagine if Westbrook, Harden and Durant were still together... they would have became an unstoppable force in the NBA. Would have been automatic championship like every year 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Financial Education that notion used to bother me last season. Like these dudes drafted Westbrook, Durant, Harden, Ibaka, Sepholoshia, Reggie Jackson, Jeff Green...they drafted a team with a big 3 and solid role players and now what do they have. Smh. Fucking Westbrook and the Westbrook 5
Financial Education exactly
No, Harden wouldn't have become the player he is today. Nothing is automatic. Everyone thought the heat were gonna win it all every single year but that didn't happen because everything always looks better on paper.
Yeah and he never would have gotten a chance to show how good he was on the Thunder, his role was too limited
your a dumbass because james harden wouoldve never became a superstar probably
James Harden had the biggest glow up 😂😂😂
Funny how at 17:47 the host states "From once dating a Kardasian" like that's some accomplishment lol. He wisely dumped her just before he got that big contract too. Not getting trapped and brought down by a Kardasian was more of an accomplishment I think.
Ken G jjjjh
C
the real MVP
lol
You mean MVB: Most Valuable Beard
Adam W .
they be better than warriors if they stuck together
Facts
This is powerful and makes me love James harden even more I’m proud he made it out of the struggle
he took that really really well, finding out on camera. there's ice in his veins, he will be mvp next year after people see him crush russ in round 1. watch out for him these playoffs, dark horse shot for the finals. rockets vs bucks. fear the deer, fear the beard
Jack Hannan ahha tf
Sedrick Brown hush mode
Jack Hannan the votes were in before the playoffs started, learn some basketball before you talk about it
Memphis - read my post again DOUCHE. I said mvp NEXT year. Why don't you learnt how to read before you talk about it.
lol
And now he a mvp averaging 36 a game crazy
AWKWARD! interviewer knew more about harden than harden 😂
That note at 6:50 is powerful. What a journey.
I'm looking at this man's eyes. He is legendary.
Warriors fan but James is my favorite player, 2018-19 is his year and he will be MVP and could very well get that Championship Ring too!
Wtf u nostradamus
trevor walker u right
harden come straight outta Compton
James Harden just wore da braids today, so i had to come to this interview
ronekillsjr same
The MVP! fear the beard.
Man! Goosebumps as soon as I saw the star he drew!
Imma be a ⭐️
Trajan Brice you'll be a low life
Reggie Like wedgie you will too with that attitude honestly
@@MaybeDay4 fu hating bitch
Reggie Like wedgie you’re an idiot plus he was quoting what harden said dumbass
if they were still together today they would have one a NBA Championship by now, thats whats wrong with the nba today not giving teams a chance
NextGenEdM its okc's fault
NextGenEdM l
How is it nbas fault it’s okc fault for trading harden and letting the others go
You can say what you want, but he deserves happiness after everything he went through.. And if his happiness means winning a Championship in Brooklyn, good luck! The Beard is seeking that ring
shit, now I'm gonna grow my beard hopefully it takes me somewhere.
oldnbaschool your beard will take you nowhere, you gotta work hard for this shit fool.
Hussein Yare he was just joking dude
dude fuck off and take this profile picture of mine
at least one understands.
oldnbaschool iwas talking to Hussein Yare
This dude is scary HUMBLE
Damn This Video Really Hit Me
Such a humble and inspiring story of a such nice guy. NBA needs more people like this.
Look at harden man so inspirational
Who is here at November 2019??
Watching this I feel like I've really been unfair in my judgement of the man. I think he is private, shy and had to get through a lot in life. I'm glad I watched this. Moms is beautiful too.
This guy is full of love and warm hearts. Even he followed his teammates and coach to Arizona state college. If thunders don’t trade him, man. He will stay there forever. Man. This guy is warm and wanna stay in a family he get used to
unexpectedly very emotional
James Harden is legendary
Def a major what if but harden had to go. He wasn't a 6th man. He was a superstar in the making and he has become that in Houston. Mvp talks now
He has a lovely mother! Very sweet.
One of my favourite players. You know why? Cause he's down to earth and he remains authentic despite his fame.
James Harden for MVP !
Hard work pays off
James is a very nice person. He knows what it's like to deal with all sorts of hardships.
Those eyes to me have so much hurt but grace and acceptance of his surroundings. A true man that knows his place.
Who here after Westbrook to rockets
Gain 👌🏾 that much more respect for Harden . He's a good dude .
Much respect to this man right here came up from nothing and stayed true to himself.
The man just went to the brooklyn nets from houston and silenced his haters by dropping a 30 point triple-double and 34 point double-double.
The G.O.A.T.
This story of Harden tells how bad OKC management is.
That was really good. He looks like a black Jake Gyllenhaal. Don't deny it!
Mrs. Adriann omg I never realised the resemblance until now but I felt the same vibe I do with Gyllenhaal all along
Damn i didnt know
One of my favorite players ever!
What a legend, love this dude
🏆3 MVPs on one team... what could’ve been! 🏆
Harden is a legend, and like said he is the man in and off the court! fuck the OKC management for trading him, unlike the KD incident, James Harden definitely could have brought a ring for the okc. Rockets are taking it to the finals this season!
he went to my high school and came when i was a senior, 7:30 i has spanish class on that door on the right after the lockers. They filmed park of 2K trailer there , it’s cool to think we walked and hopped in the same place, Harden MVP
Just happened to stumble on this vid at 1:30 in the morning August 26. Happy Cake Day to the beard🎉🙏🏾
the clip they got of him when he was young (year 2000) was a day before i was born
He was soft and weak in highschool... Since then you could say he HARDENed
badump chhh
He was James Soften
Metapod use James HARDEN
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ah ha ha...
This made me cry
I'm a Huge Thunder fan and when he got traded i was sad but after watching this now I'm tearing up.
that thunder GM was shit like they traded James harden let Durant leave withought getting shit back I miss the GM who drafted kd, Westbrook,and harden
BasketBallBrazy TM hennigan is now the gm of the magic and ruined the magic and then they fired him
BasketBallBrazy TM he's a fucking idiot
Same person
It was Sam Prestini.
U
Anyone here after the 60 point triple double?
What a nice guy. One of the nicest guys in the game.
one of the best 20min docs though I would have cut out 1-2 questions. authenticity is king.
Okc will always miss him 😰
The real man of all times💯
Amazing interview and so emotional 💔💔
Lmao ik the thunder regret trading him hella 😂
They don't. Take a good look how Westbrook and Harden play. They would never survive together. Both of those guys need their own teams.
I like Harden.
Jerome Rashad I think they had to choose cuz they couldn't pay all of em Harden Westbrook and Durant in the end they all would've been max contract right ?
@Ominous Twinkie Westbrook is shooting 42 % from the field and 23 % for 3. Is he an all-star this year ?
@Ominous Twinkie I mean the chemistry as humans is good. I think they get along fine. But on the court is different story. Harden needs spacers,and if he has a secondary playmaker it needs to be someone who can shoot for 3. Like CP3. Oh and play defense. Russ doesn't do much of neather.
MVP
Didn’t know he was so humble he deserves everything that came his way with the big contracts & his performances
Watched in 2020 for the 2020th time. Dude is cold af, I'd be crying through half of these stories
just watch..Harden will come up victorious with that MVP award...Russ playing for stats and Harden elevating his team!
Dumbest fucking comment I have read.
you're the dumb one Russ doesnt make his teamates better Harden does
JACARLOS 7 Lmao
JACARLOS 7 say all you want he is a fucking ballhog avg a triple double may look good on the paper but harden and the rockets can easily sweep the thunder
John Yang but BUDDY who has the best historic season and this video has nothing to do with James harden winning the MVP I hate people like you that ruin great videos like this.
This shit got real, real fast, after the beard jokes.... damn.
I cried during the beginning around 3 minutes
Such a chilled personality 💎
He looks so weird to me without a beard. #nevershave
You had Harden, Westbrook, and KD. How do you fuck that up?
Donthaman don't forget they also had fucking ibaka man how dafuq do you go from a big4 a dynasty to what's happened now
MVP Harden is a beast man! im glad he went to Houston so he could showcase his Offensive skills! best in the game right now!
after watching this, hes my fav.
Wondering how it feels for Harden, Durant, and Russel now that the're all separated on facing each other in the western conference.
