James Harden hopes retirement will come ‘sooner than later’

When it comes to professional sports, no one is immune to the influence of Father Time. Every human being slows down eventually, even those who appear to be immortal (like the great LeBron James). And Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden, who is currently dealing with a thumb injury that caused him to miss 22 points in Sunday’s 106-102 win over the Brooklyn Nets, knows that the sports grim reaper is coming for him someday.

However, Harden is still playing at a high level; He may be 36, but retirement isn’t exactly imminent for a man who averaged nearly 25 points per game this season and more than eight assists per contest. However, the Cavs star loves basketball so much that he wants to keep playing it as long as he canEspecially when he still has an elusive championship ring to compete for and, hopefully, win.

“I know [retirement is] coming soon. Hopefully, sooner rather than later, but it is a reality. Everyone has to go through this sometimes. I’m just trying to keep my body fit and play well. We’ll see what happens over the next few years. Take one game at a time and cherish the moments,” Harden said, via Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

The Cavs know their title-rival’s time is short, so rather than risk Darius Garland’s health, they went out and acquired Harden, who is more than 10 years Garland’s senior.

Harden has dealt with his injury troubles in recent years, battling hamstring issues, but he has been quite durable and has been very reliable, especially during the regular season. The playoffs, of course, are where Harden will be tested, and whether or not he can be a part of this team that is finally looking to bounce back from the loss.
