Of course the main man for the Houston Rockets would be going last in our player preview series, and I think the biggest question for us to ask about James Harden as he enters into his eighth season in H-town is: where does The Beard go from here?
He’s already accomplished so much. An MVP. Several runner ups. Leading the Rockets to their most wins in franchise history (65 in 2018) and two Western Conference Finals appearances (in addition to one NBA Finals appearance with the Oklahoma City Thunder).
He’s won two scoring titles, an assist title, led the the league in win shares four times, led in box plus-minus twice, usage twice, PER once, and of course there was his streak of 30-points games (32), which is second all-time next to Wilt Chamberlain.
