James Harden & Chris Paul Dominate Pickup Game At UCLA

Many NBA aficionados were skeptical about James Harden and Chris Paul coexisting in the same backcourt when it was announced the Houston Rockets acquired Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers earlier this month.

Both players are used to having the ball in their hands more often than not, so each will have to make sacrifices in order to truly make things work.

This week, video surfaced of Harden and Paul playing together for the first time, and the footage is not exactly answering any questions.

While Paul and Harden dominated, there wasn’t much passing taking place.
