It’s no secret that the 2018-2019 season hasn’t started off how anyone would have liked for the Houston Rockets, but that hasn’t stopped James Harden from being recognized for his greatness. The Beard was just named to ESPN’s list of the most dominant athletes of 2018, coming in at number 19.
ESPN focused primarily on how Harden finished up the 2017-2018 season, in which he led the Rockets to a franchise-best 65-17 record, snagged his first-ever MVP award and helped push Houston to a near-upset of the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.
