Harden scored 21 points needed to surpass Anthony, using his signature step-back jumper and prolific 3-point shooting to enter NBA's top 10 career scorers.
- On Saturday, James Harden moved into 10th on the NBA career scoring list, passing Carmelo Anthony during the Los Angeles Clippers' game against the Minnesota Timberwolves after scoring 19 points in the first half and two free throws at 4:23 of the third quarter.
- After being traded to Houston, Harden built his scoring via nearly 2,000 step-back jumpers and scored more than 5,100 points off those shots, a surge he called "life-changing."
- Statistically, Harden stands out as one of three guards in the top 10 alongside Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan , has 3,255 career 3-pointers and is averaging 26.5 points this season.
- Despite Harden's milestone, Minnesota won 109-106 when Jaden McDaniels scored 27, and Kawhi Leonard called Harden's longevity "It's amazing," while Harden said he isn't sure how much longer he can keep playing.
- Looking up the list, Harden noted the company includes LeBron James at the top with 42,268 points and said, `You look at that list, it's like there's no way` and `They were flying` about Bryant and Jordan.
