James Harden made it to the NBA Top 75 Greatest Players list, and the Brooklyn Nets star himself couldn't believe it.
The one-time MVP landed on the list on Tuesday along with a slew of new names added from the previous Top 50 list. When he was informed of his addition after their showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks, Harden was in disbelief and had to ask over and over again if it's real.
Harden also took it to Twitter to share his reaction accompanied with the video of him hearing the news for the first time.

While James Harden is yet to win a championship, it's not really surprising the NBA added him to its 75th anniversary team. After all, Harden has already established himself as one of the best scorers in NBA history, being a three-time scoring champion. As mentioned, he has also won the MVP award in 2018 on top of his nine All-Star appearances, six All-NBA First Team selections and Sixth Man of the Year award.

Making things even better for Harden, he's not the only member of the Nets to make it to the list. As expected, Kevin Durant also joined the other NBA greats before him. Their head coach Steve Nash made it as well following his legendary career that spanned for 18 seasons.
Even though the Nets lost on Tuesday, this recognition is definitely something to celebrate.
