James Harden scored 56 points and accounted for 91 points in a little over three quarters of play last week in a win over the Utah Jazz.
James Harden’s 9 dazzling first quarter assists show us how great he is
How are you supposed to stop him?

On Sunday night against the Pacers, The Beard was in his bag all over again. He dished out nine assists in the first quarter, accounting for 21 total points in assists alone. And, of course, most of them looked like he was mashing the flashy pass button in NBA 2K.
Just look at this pristine no-look dime from Harden to Clint Capela between his legs and through a couple of defenders.
Still unimpressed? How about this behind-the-back pass here?
I didn’t even think it was possible to squeeze the ball through as many defenders as Harden did here.
Harden continues to put on a show for NBA fans this season. He not only proved his worth as one of the best scorers in the league, but he’s certainly one of the best passers in the league too.
You guard him one-on-one and you’re toast. You send help and you’re toast. At this point, teams are just at Harden’s mercy. He’s got it all figured out. Good luck to the rest of the league on this one.
Here’s every single one of Harden’s assists in the quarter.
