I dont think well ever see that again! DeMar DeRozan fanboys over prime James Hardens

DeMar DeRozan, one of the top power forwards in the modern NBA, was a beacon of hope for the Chicago Bulls before his move to Sacramento. Known for his impressive wingspan and standout performances, DeRozan is also a big fan of Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard James Harden.

Lately, DeRozan has expressed admiration for what Harden has done in the league throughout his playing career. The veteran player acknowledged the impact of Kobe Bryant but ultimately hailed the Clippers star for his achievements in the league.

Kobe is my GOAT… but what’s real is real. The s*** [James Harden] was doing— I don’t think we’ll ever see that again.

DeMar DeRozan said via the Club 520 Podcast

James Harden is widely regarded as one of the greatest shooting guards in the history of the NBA. Although fans might have forgotten just how great he was, this is a player who earned himself an MVP title. Having played 15 seasons over the course of his career, the 10-time All-Star boasts a massive repertoire of ball skills that DeRozan is in awe of. Nonetheless, the latter is of the opinion that people won’t witness those top performances from his prime years anymore.

Given that Harden has entered the later years of his career, DeMar DeRozan might have a point there. As players get older, the athleticism and flair they once had in their early years would begin to fade away. On his part, DeRozan is coming off a productive season with the Chicago Bulls. And will be looking to carry over that momentum and help the Kings in the next season.

DeMar DeRozan looks backs on James Harden’s incredible 30-point streak

While on the same podcast, DeMar DeRozan also reminisced on the performance that impressed him the most throughout his career. He then mentioned James Harden, who had a wild 30-point game streak with the Houston Rockets during the 2018-19 season. DeRozan marveled at Harden’s consistency while sharing his thoughts on that period.

The run James had… that ain't even a video game. That s*** was like some f****** Space Jam s***. If you didn't watch the games, you just knew when you checked the box score it was going to be something crazy. 40, 45 [points], 15 assists, ten rebounds.

DeMar DeRozan said

He further stated that “we’ll never see that again,” and compared Harden’s numbers to those of Wilt Chamberlain. During that season, Harden scored 30+ points in 32 straight games while averaging 41.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists per game.
