Reminiscing the past is not a terrible thing to do when things are going your way in the present. That must be what James Harden is feeling right now as he reposts the good vibe he felt back in 2010 related to the new city he is playing for now.
Harden is now with the Cleveland Cavaliers after getting sent there by the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for Darius Garland and a second round pick. He has played two games so far and won both.
The second one was a comeback win over Western Conference giants Denver Nuggets and it was only made possible through Harden’s late game heroics, especially the three-pointer he made that tied the game at 117 with around 30 seconds left.
The Nuggets missed the shot in the next possession and Donovan Mitchell wasted no time and rushed the ball to their side of the floor that Nuggets players scrambled, leading to a foul call. He made both free throws to seal the victory.
He celebrated the win on X by revisiting a 2010 tweet. He put up a picture of him levitating with it.

Harden scored 22 points in the win but Donovan Mitchell topscored for them with 32 points. He scored 35 points in Harden’s first game against the Sacramento Kings.
Harden, a super scorer, has no problem with the role he has. He said Mitchell has been unselfish and that’s what makes him a good teammate.
Harden on Spida:
“Being on his team, he can go out there and literally average 35 points a game. But his willingness to pass and be unselfish it’s a testament to what type of person he is, what type of basketball player he is”pic.twitter.com/t4HxY37Vdx
