The Clippers star called out his former teammate and asked him to inform the All-Time scoring leader to be wary of his spot at the top. LeBron James leads the All-Time scoring chart with 42,268 career points and counting.

Kevin Durant holds eighth place on the list with 31,051 career points. The Rockets' star is playing at a high level with almost a two-decade-long career.

Harden, on the other hand, is on the list with 28,303 career points. The Beard is arguably the Clippers' most consistent player in the last few weeks. He is averaging 26.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game on 44.3% shooting.

However, the Clippers (6-18) have been terrible so far. They are in 14th place in the Western Conference standings.

James Harden calls the Clippers' struggles 'challenging'

The Clippers have been in a bad spot this season. They have depleted almost all of their assets through trades over the last few seasons, and the players they have received in exchange have either left the team, underperformed, or spent time on the sidelines due to injuries.

The Clippers were expected to be a good team coming into the 2025-26 season. However, their performances and losing streaks have exposed them otherwise. After the Clippers' 114-110 loss to the Mavs on Nov. 30, a reporter asked James Harden for his thoughts on running the offense for a team that is performing poorly.

"Challenging," he said. "In every way... Difficult." he said.

Later, Harden said that not making shots offensively, making mistakes defensively and gameplay mistakes have been reasons behind LA's poor performances this season.
