James Harden’s ISO GAME Broken Down to a SCIENCE

  • James Harden's isolation game is a thing of beauty. He'll get the ball, clear out, and from there, it's amazing to watch. And while it's all off of instinct, it's not just random moves in a random order. EVERYTHING is calculated. So we show you how he does it, and offer you a way to throw parts of it in your game--if it won't get you benched đŸ€Ł

      No he’s not just put a giannes or Lebron on him. A pail George maybe a Westbrook and he’s eliminated. The OKC did a thing where Paul and Westbrook switched off of him throughout the game and he scored only 4 points in the second half and 0 in the last quarter. Ultimately choking the free throws last second. And then Paul George sent them home with a corner 3
      He also gets a lot of fouls other players like Westbrook and Lebron don’t for some strange reason

    Probably one of the best Playmakers i've seen in a while. His ability to score from deep, a pull up from midrange or finishing around the rim makes him so hard to predict, but then his court vision makes it so that you're not able to double team him. I think you were spot on in terms of dialing in the details of what makes his ISO game so tough to defend!
    you don't have to like what Harden is doing ( I don't love HOW he plays) but i'm impressed with what he can do offensively.

    Any players out there, I got a question for ya( if you played ball at some type of organized level)
    Did or do y’all play off instinct or predetermined moves?
    I myself was a point guard my entire career, and I have to say that I wish I consistently trusted in myself and hours of work outside of practice I put in to my creation/handles game. On my aau team, where I just felt less pressure, had a coach who just handed me the ball and said go, I played almost entirely free flowing and off of in the second reactions. On my varsity squad, my coach was so old and rigid and close minded that I felt so much pressure to be ridiculously efficient and perfect that I believe I actually held myself back by thinking to much prior to each possession/isolation and went into too many plays with a predetermined move. I still played free in some ways, such as when it came to what pass I would throw, but when sizing up my man I already knew what I was going to use on him rather than taking what the D gave me based on his stance and reactions to my pre-move movements. I practiced my moves so much and made sure they were so quick that it still allowed me to beat my man 80 percent of the time, but I’m just so positive that everything about my game and how I benefitted my team would have been better if I just let go and played free. Because it’s not as if I didn’t make mistakes when I played all pre-determined. Yes, I played that way in fear of making errors, but the actual number of errors I made plating free vs rigid was the same, the main differnce is that i was impossible to stay in front of when I just let my entire package free, and when I played rigid I would eventually be easier to guard as the game went on once my opponent started to realize I wasn’t going to counter, so if he guessed right he would stay in front.
    I know “no one cares” but I think this is really interesting stuff and I would love for anyone to share their experiences as well! I’m fascinated by hearing about any ballers mentality on playing the game, you know? What goes on in our MINDS behind the moves and way we play on the court.
