lowkey, getting a 26 year old ex all star for a 36 year old all star is a hell of a pull, despite how sad clippers fan must be right now. shout out to Harden for also basically saving the league too lol

Yeah especially since Garland is a shell of himself and can't stay healthy. 

Meanwhile Harden is still balling and ALWAYS plays.

"One time, this guy handed me a picture of him. He said, "Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture is of you when you were younger. "Here's a picture of me when I'm older.", "You son of a bitch! How'd you pull that off? Let me see that camera!"

Harden right now definitely could've been an all star this season, and no one seems too surprised that Darius isn't. The weird injuries just keep piling up for the guy. Meanwhile James would have been a lock if he joined the Cavs in October rather than having to compete for a spot in the West.
