Are James Harden and Russell Westbrook still BFFs?

By Matt Ellentuck

James Harden and Russell Westbrook are two of the best players in the world. The duo thrived sharing the court in Oklahoma City seven years ago, but a lot has changed since then. Are the Rockets big enough to fit in both of their outsized games and personalities? Russ and the Beard welcomed this reunion, but it has significant boom-or-bust potential.

Update Status:

Harden and Russ might not be the greatest duo, but Harden is having one of the best scoring seasons in NBA history. The Rockets keep rolling (mostly thanks to Harden) but still, the friendship is thriving.

Yep. 11-4 record and absolutely still homies. Russ might not be playing great, but Harden's still at an MVP level. Despite injuries and a bad shooting start, Houston looks good.
