In the recent match of Rockets vs Bucks, James Harden broke yet another record. He became an NBA all-time left-handed scoring leader surpassing former star, David Robinson. It’s not even been a week since the season restart and Harden has begun the bonanza already.

For those who are not aware of it, David Robinson is a former star player who devoted his career to one franchise, San Antonio Spurs. He retired back in 2003 and was the highest lefty scorer in NBA history until a day before the Beard crossed him.

Robinson was with 20,790 career points and Harden is now six more than that massive figure. He achieved this feat in the last match against the Milwaukee Bucks despite his poor performance as a scorer. It was a disappointing shooting night for the big man with just 5/14 from the field.
