    Being 3rd on the Rockets all-time scoring list is more impressive to me especially considering he wasn't with the Rockets his first few years.

    Yeah but have you heard how boring it is to watch the rockets?

    "Who wants to watch Harden shoot free throws? "

    Harden really showed everyone why he is the MVP with his great performance against the Pistons.

    You can thank me for yelling brick each time he shot a free throw. Reverse jinx works most times 100% of the time.

    Deron Williams had 2 less assists, but 9 more points and went 21/21 from the FT line.

    I get what the OP is saying, but...meh. Not I.D.I.O.T.

    He showed everyone he can score, he can dish, and he can draw and convert FTs.

    as per the link this has only happened 4 times: In a single game, from 1946-47 to 2018-19, in the regular season or playoffs, requiring Points >= 43 and Free Throws >= 18 and Free Throw Pct >= 1.000 and Assists >= 7

    And twice was with Harden

    Even though a bit random stats, it is still impressive that no one has done it in the history of the NBA.

    Harden is a truly generational players in terms of scoring, play making, and efficiency!

    I would have thought Tiny Archilbald woulda done this at some point in his early years.

    EDIT: I get why people are saying so what, but Barry and Williams needed 29 and 35 FGA to get the similar stat line. Just sayin.

    If lakers get a top 3 seed it’s lebron for MVP. But my early vote is Kyle Lowry rn
