Blessed are the Rockets to have a shooting guard sporting such an astronomically high rate of production with inhuman consistency. As far as his shooting is concerned, James Harden is leading the league in three-pointers made (266) and is averaging 36.5 ppg (again a league-best).

While stacking up a pile of points, the Beard also manages to dish out around 7.8 dimes per game, which is currently the fifth best assists average. He is scoring points at a career-high speed, with his well-known 30-point streak now built up to 30 games in a row.

James is overly competent to both sink a deep three and beat the defender off the first step on his way to finishing at the rim with contact every single time. Defenders often find it nightmarish to guard him on the perimeter due to said quality.

Highlight: Harden torched the Knicks last month via a career-high 61 points and 15 rebounds performance, shooting 22-25 from the foul line.
