It seems like a lifetime ago doesn’t it?
James Harden was the third overall pick in the 2009 Draft and the first ever pick for the Oklahoma City Thunder. In his third year, Harden would a beast off of the bench and essentially formed a young “big three” with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. This unit was so good that they took OKC to the NBA Finals and while they lost the 2012 Finals there was reason to believe that this triumvirate would take them to the Finals again and win.
As we all know, Harden was traded to Houston and would become a multi time All Star and elite scorer. Still, the contributions he made to the Thunder are more than enough to earn the “beard” a spot here.
