Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden has accomplished a ton in his decorated NBA career. He has won three scoring titles and two assist titles while also winning an MVP award and countless All-Star and All-NBA appearances.
The only thing missing from his Hall of Fame resume is a title. He is looking to accomplish that this year as the Sixers prepare for the Boston Celtics on Monday with Game 1 of the semifinals.
Harden has already earned his spot among the all-time greats. A ranking by HoopsHype as The Beard ranked as the fifth-best shooting guard in the history of the game. They have him only behind Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade and Sixers legend Allen Iverson.
This is how we ranked the GOAT shooting guards before the season.

If Harden can help guide the Sixers to a championship in 2023, maybe he can move up on the list a bit more. He has accomplished so much and a title would complete his basketball resume.
