James Harden's free throws, put in historical context

James Harden supporters and detractors, let's pour some fuel on your fire by talking about James Harden's historic 2014-2015 season at the free throw line.

This season James Harden became the 11th player to make 700 free throws in an NBA season. And we can all say it together: That's a lot of fouls and free throws.

All nine retired players to have made 700 free throws in a season are in the Hall of Fame, and Kevin Durant appears well on his way. Sixteen out of the 17 times a player has achieved 700 FTM in a season, they've made the All-NBA First Team, and that includes three MVP awards.
