“You can never be complacent,” Harden said of his mindset.

“I can’t be complacent—I’ve never been like that, and I won’t start now. I think I can always be better. I think when you are trying to accomplish something.

First, you gotta look in the mirror and look at yourself and see what things you can do better and ways you can contribute better for the betterment of the team.

I can control everything that is going on around me; I can control it a little bit. But the one thing I know I can control is myself.”
