    Harden is about to join only those two players in the history of the NBA to ever lead the league in assists per game one year and then lead the league in points per game in another.

    Harden will have done it in back to back years.

    Is that what the kids mean by "triple double"?

    Weird stat since Tiny Archibald did it in the same year. And Russ will do it this year, too.

    Rockets are so good that stats are boring now

    Yeah, that means nothing in the way that amazing stats can mean nothing.

    Tiny Archibald led the league in both stats in a year so I hope he can be included in your list.

    Harden had opportunity to match Tiny's record last season until last few weeks when Westbrook went into full stat padding mode.

    Harden wasn't close to beating WB for the scoring title last year....WB won by 2.5 ppg. Was Harden ever even in the lead?

    Are you talking about the little known, "Points Created" record that Tiny held and Harden missed breaking by 1 point....so sad. :(
