    James Harden's streak of consecutive games averaging 50 PPG is currently at 5. Tied for the 2nd-longest streak in NBA history.

    Just amazing!

    How many does he have to score next game to break the tie?

    Pretty funny how LeBron James doesn't acknowledge what Harden is doing during this streak but he's quick to love Doncic going for a triple double, Kwahi with a dunk, etc. He only gives props to players he likes or don't compete with his brand.

    Seems valid. He could sore less than 50 and still average above 50 ppg depending on his previous point total

    No it's not. The running average favors Harden in the next game because of his high 50+ (and one 60+) games recently. He doesn't necessarily have to score 50 in other words to maintain the 50 point average over a span of consecutive games.

    I didnt' bother working out the numbers but it wouldn't surprise me if a low 40's game against the Raptors would keep the "50 point" average streak alive.

    116 is insane. I honestly believe the countless consecutive women statistic too

    He needs to put 39 to break that tie with Kobe. Going to be tough with the Raptors and Kawhi, Danny Green, Siakam and OG guarding him

    Crazy how no one is ever going to come close to Wilt. 116 games, even if it was against supremely inferior competition, is still ridiculous.

    Most career sexual partners by an NBA player:

    #1 - Wilt Chamberlain, 20,000+
    #2 - Somebody Else, maybe a few hundred
