The Los Angeles Clippers entered the 2023-2024 NBA Season with a newly formed grouping of All-Stars.
James Harden joined an already star-studded bunch, hoping to chip in with his elite contributions.
The season started rocky for this team, but they are slowly turning things around.
Amid their turnaround, Harden reached an impressive career milestone against the Golden State Warriors.
As the Clippers’ official Twitter highlighted, Harden reached the 25,000-point mark for his career.

He is the 24th player in NBA history to achieve this feat, marking his place among the league’s all-time greats.
While he is now celebrating this achievement, many may have forgotten that Harden entered this year with many unknowns.
He was unhappy with his place on the Philadelphia 76ers, mainly frustrated with the team’s ownership.
When the opportunity presented itself in LA, he jumped at the chance to join the Clippers and now has reached this historic milestone as a team member.
While Harden might not be one of the most popular players on the team or even one of the more popular players in the league for recent antics, nobody can take this achievement away from him.
He might not necessarily be viewed as an all-time great in the eyes of many fans, but Harden is still a member of the 25,000-point club.
It will be interesting to see how Harden’s career shakes out and if he will be a Hall of Famer when all is said and done.
He’s looking to contribute in whatever way possible for the Clippers.
