James Harden is playing at a phenomenal individual level. He showed that off at both ends of the floor during Monday’s game with the Phoenix Suns.
Is started with Harden on defense, matched up against in the post against Phoenix’s big man, DeAndre Ayton. While Ayton had the distinct size advantage, Harden came away with the strip.
Then on the offensive end, Harden unleashed his crazy handles, drove the lane, made the basket, and got an and-one for good measure.

As far as two play sequences go, it doesn’t get much better than this.
