In the impression of many people, Harden is synonymous with not working hard. Everyone calls Harden a "nightclub boarder", which means Harden is addicted to women, often goes to nightclubs and doesn't practice hard, which leads to his low state on the court. But is this really the case? Actually, not exactly. Harden does go to nightclubs, but he still works very hard for training and competition. Everyone has different ways to relax. Nightclubs are just Harden's choice. It's normal to relax occasionally.

Fans may not see the news about Harden's training at ordinary times, so let's listen to what people around Harden say about him. Monty Williams, the assistant coach of the US team who worked with Harden, once said in an interview: "When Harden was in the US team, he would take his personal trainer to the venue for training two hours before each team practice, and then train with the team." The physical trainer of the Rockets also revealed that Harden often left his hometown of Los Angeles to train in a slightly less prosperous Phoenix in order not to be distracted during the offseason. This also shows how serious Harden is about training. He really works hard.

Another example is Harden's offseason trip to China. Even if the schedule is busy, he will take time to train. When he was in Guangzhou in summer, Harden also found time to practice shooting at the Earth Pavilion. You can also see Harden's figure from the photo. He really worked hard and didn't waste time.

In addition to hard work, there is also a very important reason, that is, coach Anthony of the Rockets. 16- 17 season, D 'Antoni successfully transformed Harden into a point guard, which proved to be an extremely correct decision. After the transformation, Harden became more powerful like a duck to water, not only leading the Rockets to 55 wins, but also ranking third in the league. Several of his own data have also set career highs. In the MVP list, Harden is only slightly behind Westbrook. Therefore, the transformation into a point guard is also one of the reasons why Harden became stronger. Of course, this is also based on Harden's efforts, and the most fundamental reason is hard work.
