At age 36+, only LeBron James and Karl Malone have averaged more playoff minutes per game than James Harden.
The workload he's taken on this late into his career is insane.
Nick Young on Harden:
“I think James get more hate than he deserves. When they have to change rules for players I think it shows your greatness.”
(via @GilsArenaShow)
Prime Harden in the playoffs was genuinely really really good. Up to the Bucks series where he was literally playing on a hamstring tear, he was great in his prime. This isn't just regular season shit, this is the postseason and he was incredibly good.
James Harden can’t sit for a second.
Not even 1:40 of him out and it’s a 7-0 Knicks run.
The harden off and Mitchell on minutes this playoffs are historically pathetic.

This pic from Game 1 of Harden unfazed by the Pistons. Harden wasn’t taking them serious at ALL.
He ended up beating them by 31 and sending them home on their home court.
Gotta be one of the coldest pics ever 😭🔥
Never forget that the Sixers traded James Harden away because they didn’t want to commit to him long-term and instead chose Paul George…
It’s 2026, and James Harden has made the Conference Finals, and Philly has yet to do so. 😬
