Looking at the superstar player James Harden is today, it may be hard for some to remember that he started his career coming off the bench in Oklahoma City. But, he even did that with excellence, winning the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award in 2012. Harden is too good to have been a sixth man for long. The three-time NBA scoring champion is a devastating long-range shooter. The only thing more fearsome than his step-back jump shot may be his famous and prodigious beard. James Harden looks at the player behind the beard and his chase for that elusive first championship with three franchises. Each book in the continuing Hardwood Greats series gives you, the reader, a close-up look at some of the very best of today's NBA stars. The statistical leaders and championship winners go under the spotlight in a fun-to-read and visually interesting examination of the player's outstanding career.
