Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley claimed on his podcast that he taught Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden the step-back move, a signature of Harden's scoring prowess. Beverley shared this anecdote after the Bucks defeated the Clippers, stating that he hit a step-back shot over Harden, who inquired about the origin of the move. Beverley asserted that he developed the step-back during his overseas stint and influenced Harden during their time together on the Houston Rockets. The two players were teammates for five years before Beverley was traded in 2017. Harden has since become known for his prolific scoring and mastery of the step-back three-pointer.
