DeMar DeRozan Praises James Harden's Legacy

DeMar DeRozan, now with the Sacramento Kings, recently praised James Harden's extraordinary scoring abilities during his prime with the Houston Rockets, describing it as akin to 'Space Jam'. DeRozan highlighted Harden's incredible 2018-19 season when he averaged 36.1 points per game, an achievement not seen since Michael Jordan. Despite a drop in his NBA 2K25 rating to 84, down from 89, Harden remains focused on improving his on-court performance, having averaged 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 8.5 assists last season with the Clippers. Harden's career averages of 24.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game reflect his elite status, although he is no longer in his prime. Meanwhile, DeRozan's transition to the Kings is anticipated to enhance their offensive capabilities, as noted by teammate Domantas Sabonis. The conversation surrounding Harden's legacy continues, with discussions about his scoring prowess drawing comparisons to all-time greats like Kobe Bryant.
