James Harden has established himself as one of the top Shooting Guards in the league. His shooting capacity is exceptional. He was one of the players who helped the transition of modern NBA, focusing more on three-pointers. NBA authorities recognized harden’s talent as he got named in the NBA 75th Anniversary team.

This shows that Harden is considered one of the top 75 players in the league’s history. Therefore, Harden uploaded a humble tweet celebrating his success. Harden captioned the post as “started from the bottom, don’t know how I’m up here.”

NBA fans and Harden haters had a field day on Twitter, as many of them claimed that he flopped his way to the top.

Harden is one of the first players who engaged in the concept of flopping in the modern NBA. Flopping defensively has always been a part of the NBA. However, flopping offensively is something that Harden introduced to the game according to many. It is not entirely bad, since flopping also requires utmost talent.

Harden used his talent to draw fouls to his advantage. Many times, he tricks the defenders into fouling him. Sometimes, fans have even concluded that he drew most of the contact and jumped into the defenders.

NBA Twitter reacts

James Harden is one of the greatest players. However, he still does not have a championship. Many fans are wondering how he made the top 75 list when players like Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson have been snubbed.

A lot of fans have hilariously reacted to his post saying that just like him, they cannot believe he has been selected to the top 75 list.

Harden scores lots of his points from the free-throw line. This is mostly because of his ability to draw fouls. Many NBA fans believe that he does not deserve the spot. Moreover, they believe his real talent is just flopping and nothing more.

All the hate set aside, many fans have appreciated this milestone for him. Harden has been an impactful player for the league. He is an offensive machine and the credit should be given where it is due.
