The Los Angeles Clippers are on a hot streak, winning eight of their last nine games, and their 128-108 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies was no exception.

James Harden led the charge with 30 points and 9 assists, but he also took the time to praise his teammate, Bogdan Bogdanovic.

"[Bogdan Bogdanovic is an] unbelievable basketball player, an even better guy. He gets it, he understands it, and he fits in with what we’re trying to do. He’s had big-time games. He’s a cool guy to hang out with," Harden said.

Harden’s praise didn’t stop at basketball skills. The 35-year-old also spoke about Bogdanovic’s mentality and work ethic.

"He just understands, he listens. I curse him out sometimes. But he listens, he goes out there and becomes better. That’s the sign of somebody who wants to win. I’m happy he’s on our team."

Since his move to the Clippers, Bogdanovic has continued to impress. Over 17 games, Bogdanovic averaged 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists, while shooting 40% from beyond the arc.
