Yes!
Most NBA fans know that James Harden is one of the best players in the league. But what they might not know is that he's also an incredible dunker. In fact, over the course of his career, he's had more than 300 dunks. That's an impressive feat, considering that most players don't even come close to dunking that often. What makes Harden's dunks even more impressive is the fact that he's not just a one-dimensional dunker. He can finish with both power and finesse, making him one of the most exciting players to watch in the NBA.

Sometimes with that excitement comes some controversy. In 2019 he found himself at the center of controversy, this time surrounding a dunk. During a game against the San Antonio Spurs, Harden drove to the basket and threw down an absolutely ferocious dunk. The ball flew through the hoop, caught on the net, and then bounced back up and over the rim. It looked like it might go through the hoop a second time, but it didn't. The referees called it no good, but replays later showed that it should have been counted.

Harden is a true offensive powerhouse, and his dunks - whether they count or not, are just as powerful. However, we seem to see less and less dunking from him as he gets older. While some might see this as a sign of decline, it's actually not surprising at all. Dunking is a very physically demanding activity, and as Harden has gotten older, he's become more susceptible to injuries. With recurring problems in his ankles, hamstrings, and thighs, it makes sense that he would want to avoid putting unnecessary strain on his body. So while we may not see him throwing down as many thunderous dunks as we used to, we can still appreciate all that he brings to the game of basketball.

Throughout his career, Harden has given us many dunks to enjoy watching. He's got the moves that often lead to him finishing with a thunderous dunk, and he's not afraid to take on any defenders at the rim. In honor of James Harden, we've compiled a highlight reel of our favorite dunks of his. Enjoy!
