Throughout his lengthy career, Harden has been a dominant offensive player. He is a creative superstar, as he can make some big plays all the time. Harden loves to manipulate his defenders, especially when he goes on isolation. However, he also does well with being an off-ball threat.

Harden is one of the most skilled scorers ever, as evidenced by his 29,000+ points. He is not stopping anytime soon because he still looks good as one of the best players in the league. Now that he is with the Cavs, he has a chance of making a bid for title contention.

He is glad to be with the Cavaliers now because he is given the green light to conduct the offense. Of course, Donovan Mitchell is the star player, but Harden has the license to do what he wants. As evidenced by his success as a scorer, head coach Kenny Atkinson is fine with what he does.

In the Cavs' latest win against the Philadelphia 76ers, Harden had a good game with 21 points, five rebounds, and five assists. In those 21 points, he scored his 29,000th point, which cements him as one of the all-time greats.

"All glory to God. It’s a testament of the work that I put in over the course of so many years. Cavs gave me an opportunity to go out here and showcase my game, so I’m grateful," Harden said after the game against Philly.

As long as Harden is allowed to play basketball, he will be a superb offensive player. The natural talent always shines through with him, and he will continue to be a fantastic offensive player who almost everyone would love to play alongside.
