James Harden has long been one of the NBA’s leading scorers, and his climb up the all-time ranks has claimed another rung.
With his 9th point in Wednesday’s 126-67 blowout victory over the Nets, Harden passed Hawks legend Dominique Wilkins (26,668 points) for 15th on the career scoring list.
Harden finished the game with 21 points (6-for-10 FGs, 3-for-5 3PM), six rebounds, 11 assists and two steals against a single turnover. He now trails Oscar Robertson (26,710) and the Clippers guard could pass him and Hakeem Olajuwon (26,946) by season’s end.
Congrats, UNO 👏
