Start planning for my 2024 As a fan of Harden, I have been looking forward to Harden's dream of winning the championship. However, for more than 10 years, Harden's road to winning the championship has been bumpy, from the Thunder's blockbuster, to the Rockets' prosperity, from the helplessness of leaving the Nets, to the humility and loss of Philadelphia. Now the Clippers' Harden has lost his past glory, and the occasional flash is more like the stars in the dark night, flickering but not bringing long-term light. 
Harden entered the NBA as a Tanhua in 2009 and received remarkable honors, including being named to the All-Rookie Second Team in his rookie season, Sixth Man of the Year in 2011-12, All-NBA Third Team in 2012-13, regular season MVP in 2017-18, scoring champion three-time, assist king twice, All-Roster First Team six-time, All-Star Team 10 times, and NBA 75 Superstar in October 2021. In 2012, he won the gold medal at the London Olympics with the U.S. men's basketball team, and in 2014, he won the Spanish Basketball World Cup with the U.S. team. His European step, step-back step, foul making and other playing styles lead the NBA, known as the strongest "two-way guard" in history. For him personally, these accolades are a historical phenomenon, and it is foreseeable that he will have a place in the Hall of Fame.
However, Harden's regret is precisely that he has not won a championship. In 2009, he was a fledgling player, in the talented Thunder team, tried the joy of the best sixth man, felt the suffocation of the finals, experienced the loneliness of missing the championship, and chased the wind after being defeated by the Heat. After coming to the Rockets in 2012, he played as a cornerstone for 9 seasons, creating a glorious moment for the Rockets, and experienced years of struggle with the Cosmos, but finally returned home and gradually drifted away from the championship. In 2021, he left the Nets physically and mentally exhausted, looking forward to huddling together to warm up and impact the championship.
But it backfired, injuries, coaches, off-court and other factors made the Big Three only fit together for more than 10 games, and the pleasing style of play was finally short-lived, and finally dragged a hamstring injury and came to Philadelphia with the infamy of a fugitive. In the 76ers, the ambition was unpaid, and after experiencing disagreements with coaches, bosses, and even management, they finally left the sad place and came to the Clippers. The current Harden is no longer the boy he once was, he has lost his dominance of averaging more than 30 points per game, and all that remains is a heart to pursue a championship. May the current Harden be more patient, more tolerant, and more calm, and rely on his own awareness, ability and experience, to win the damn championship with Xiaoka, Pickled Pepper, and Wei Shao.
