Make no mistake, Houston Rockets guard James Harden had a huge part in convincing point guard Chris Paul to come join the organization. Just ask Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, who let it be known that Harden’s contributions to the effort were invaluable:

“There’s no coaching there. He’s not naturally an extroverted guy,” Morey said. “He’s a worker, a quiet guy who just wants to win. His first job if he wasn’t doing this wouldn’t be like the lead sales guy somewhere. He’d probably be the strategic guy because he’s so smart.

“With that said, one-on-one he’s so good with people. Obviously the great guys are all together. Whether it be USA Basketball or weddings or whatever it is. They get together and they talk. And one-on-one I can say James is an unbelievable recruiter because he’s smart. He understands the plan. He wants to execute for the team he’s leading. It makes my job easy, frankly, to have him.”
