The Los Angeles Clippers noticed James Harden make historical past.
He simply handed Ray Allen for the second-most three-pointers in NBA historical past.
The one participant forward of him is Stephen Curry.
Curry, who has performed in fewer profession video games than Harden regardless of being part of the identical 2009 NBA Draft class, shattered Allen’s file years in the past, and he’s often been a step forward of Harden in his profession.
That’s why, regardless of loads of mutual respect, it’s not like they are going to ever be buddies.
When requested about that, Harden admitted that he felt “a type of way” about Curry due to all of the occasions the Golden State Warriors obtained the most effective of his Houston Rockets (by way of Justin Russo).
I requested James Harden postgame tonight about his relationship with Stephen Curry and going head-to-head for 15 years.

He nonetheless hopes the followers can perceive that aggressive nature and respect it.
That makes excellent sense.
If it wasn’t for Curry and the dynasty, Harden may’ve had no less than one ring or one other journey to the NBA Finals.
Additionally, it’s not like they’ve comparable personalities or something.
On the finish of the day, the followers at all times wish to see the most effective gamers combating arduous towards one another; that makes for a significantly better product.
So long as they’ll respect and respect one another and all the pieces they’ve performed for the sport of basketball, there’s no want for everyone to be finest buddies with another participant.
Sport acknowledges recreation, and these are two of the best gamers ever to lace them up.
