2009 Topps Chrome #99 James Harden Rookie Refractor PSA 10 GEM MINT
FEAR THE BEARD!!! Taken third overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, James Harden became the last piece of the puzzle that the Oklahoma Thunder needed to get to the next level already with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook running the offense. In his second season in OKC, he helped lead the Thunder to the NBA Finals before falling to the Miami Heat in five games. After three years in OKC, Harden was traded to the Houston Rockets where he would become THE guy, as opposed to playing second star to Durant and Westbrook. Harden helped keep the Rockets among the elite of the Western Conference, but was unable to lead Houston to the NBA Finals despite leading the NBA in points per game from 2017-2020. James has been named to ten NBA All-Star Games, earned seven All-NBA honors and in 2017-18 he was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player. That year, he led the NBA in three-pointers (265) and free throws (624), scored 2,191 points and posted four triple-doubles. Offered here is a 2009 Topps Chrome #99 James Harden Rookie Refractor PSA 10 GEM MINT. This is one of two dozen examples graded at PSA top tier.
