Comparing James Harden to Steph Curry without 2-point field goals
Programming note: Watch the pregame edition of Warriors Outsiders Friday night at 6 p.m. PT streaming live on the MyTeams app.
James Harden is averaging 33.7 points per game -- most in the NBA.
Steph Curry is averaging 28.9 points per game -- second most in the NBA.
But what if they never shot 2-point field goals?
In 2015-16, Steph Curry averaged 19.9 points per game on just 3-pointers and free throws -- the most ever, and it helped him win his second MVP.
But as Tom Haberstroh pointed out in this week's "Big Number," both Curry and Harden this season have surpassed what Steph did during his unanimous MVP campaign.
