"Being a 2 watchman when he came into the association and afterward changed to a point monitor his entire vocation ... that is an insane detail, an insane achievement and I'm only glad for him." The Trimmers posted a video of Kevin Durant, Harden's previous Oklahoma City and Brooklyn colleague, watching film of him helping Harden on his initial 3-pointer made with the Thunder.
