He makes it look so easy draws fouls, drives to the hole every chance he gets, money on the jumpers literally can't ask for more from the beard
I can't believe there is a strong chance Harden is going to break a Rockets record held by Moses Malone at age 23, in his first season with the Rockets. I love James Harden. I love Daryl Morey.
On NBATV in the 4th quarter, they were showing replays of Harden's points. It was like watching the same play over and over. A play(PnR, iso, etc.) into Harden getting to the basket and a layup. Over and Over and Over and Over for the entire highlight reel.
It's Michael with 40 games and Durant with 29 Wilt had consecutive 20+ pts and 30+pts streaks going I guess

And it probably went well past that too.
I don't like using Wilt's record for comparisons, his stats are incredibly inflated due to the level of competition and development of the game back in the day.
Wilt had the best physical tools of all time. The guy was 7'1", 275lbs, and had a 48" max vertical. There is nobody in today's game who can compare with that, he made LeBron's tools look weak. Wilt would dominate today's game too. His statistics wouldn't be as good, but he still might be the best player in basketball.
I think the most ridiculous part is his minutes played - he only played less than 48 minutes ONE TIME??? He averaged OVER 48 minutes a game lmfao. How did a center never foul out???
He was aware of his streak of never fouling out...and would play some ole defense so that he wouldn't foul out. Wilt was a great player, but cared more about stats than winning
