    I thought it might be fun to have one thread where we keep posting all the league and Rockets records he's setting or moving in elite category with his performances.

    After 1st game @ Detroit on 31/10:

    • Most points in 1st game as a Rocket with 37, previous high was 28 held by Otis Thorpe & Lewis Lloyd
    • He joined MJ, Bird & Wade who also had a 37, 12 & 6 game.
    • First player in Rockets history since Olajuwon in 94-95 who has had a 37 and 12 game

    After 2nd game @ Atlanta on 2-11:

    • He joined Wilt Chamberlain, Walt Hazzard and Glenn Robinson as the only players to top 30 points in their first two games with a new team.
    • Only Chamberlain and Michael Jordan have scored more than Harden’s 82 points to open a season.
    • 82 combined points are the most by a non-rookie in his first two games with a new team in league history

    Please feel free to add and enjoy Harden's record setting performances while joining truly elite company in the process ;)

    They should have Harden coming off the bench every second game so that he can win 6th man of the year as well :)

    OKC may have been holding Harden back so they could keep him and not have to pay him... just a theory.

    When James Harden was 10 years old... he grew his first beard.

    During puberty, James Harden's last name.

    In High School, James Harden was very good at penetrating, was also very good at basketball.

    At college parties, James Harden was referred to as "The Beer-ded One" because he always had a six-pack and one.

    James Harden actually has a 45' vertical, but at the podium on draft night, Stern asked him politely not to use it for basketball reasons
