It’s been quite a season for the Sixers’ leading stars. James Harden should garner All-NBA consideration for how brilliantly he’s orchestrated the Sixers’ third-ranked offense, and Joel Embiid seems to be in with a great chance to secure his first MVP award.
In fact, they’ve been so good together that they’ve done something no teammates have done in 41 years. With Harden’s league-best average of 10.7 assists per game and Embiid securing his second consecutive scoring title with an average of 33.1 points per game, they’ve become the first teammates to lead the NBA in scoring and assists since 1981-82.
