James Harden is coming off, arguably, the best season of his career. He helped lead the Rockets to be one game away from the Finals and fit in perfectly with his new running mate Chris Paul.
The Beard led the league in scoring this season, averaging 30+ points per game for the first time in his career. It was also the first time that he did indeed lead the league in that category.
He also added 8.8 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game on 45% shooting overall and 36.7% from 3-point range. His eFG% was a solid 54.
