Harden scored 31 points as the Rockets thrashed the Clippers 135-103 in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
Los Angeles Clippers color commentator Don MacLean has flirted with controversy, suggesting James Harden is “cheating somehow”.
"And I don't really have a thought beyond that other than I'm watching something that isn't basketball.” Data backs up MacLean’s argument. According to official NBA figures, 48.8 percent of Harden’s possessions this season saw him in isolation. That is by far the most of any player in the league and almost twice as much as Chris Paul, the second player in the list.
However, MacLean, who is still the PAC 12 all-time scoring leader, argued Harden’s playing style would not necessarily help the Rockets win a title. "And there's certain levels to it. So, there's the style of play in which he's using, which I'm not a fan of in terms of winning championships. I don't think that style's ever gonna win championships.”
