James Harden makes debut with Rockets, drops 37 on the Pistons

 

After signing a max $80 million extension with the Houston Rockets, James Harden went out and showed you why he will deserve every dime of it. In his Rockets debut taking on the Detroit Pistons at the Palace, The Beard dropped 37 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and a block.

Oh can I add that Harden was traded Saturday night so he didn’t spend the preseason with the Rockets. According to NBA TV, It marked the second highest point total in a first game of a player switching teams.  I mean it was against the Pistons but still, you have to be pretty impressed by that right?
