It’s no secret that Houston Rockets guard James Harden is supremely gifted, especially on the offensive end of the floor. Harden averaged 36.1 points per game during the 2018-19 season and single-handedly lifted the Rockets from 14th in the Western Conference to fourth in the playoff race, despite a myriad of injuries.
During that season, Harden made history, as he scored 30 or more points in 32 consecutive games, which was the second longest streak of all time. Harden’s 36.1 points per game were the most since Michael Jordan in the 1986-87 season.
The Rockets had a roster overhaul in the offseason, as they added Russell Westbrook, who joins Harden as one of the most ball-dominant guards in the NBA.
