Harden Becomes 2nd All-Time 3-Point Shooter

On a remarkable night for the NBA, Russell Westbrook achieved his 200th career triple-double, aiding the Nuggets to victory without star player Nikola Jokić, who is managing a personal matter. Meanwhile, Chris Paul shone for the Spurs, leading them to a win despite the absence of Victor Wembanyama. James Harden made headlines by surpassing Ray Allen to become second all-time in career made 3-pointers, trailing only Stephen Curry. Harden credited his early years at Oklahoma City, where he learned from Kevin Durant and Westbrook, as foundational to his success. Recognizing the influence of these mentors, Harden emphasized the importance of their 'blueprint' for his career development. The achievements of these seasoned players underscore their enduring impact on the league and their ability to inspire the next generation.
