James Harden is looking to lead the NBA in scoring for the second consecutive season and he is well on his way to doing that.
Harden entered Wednesday averaging 35.8 points per game. The reigning MVP has been scoring the ball at will all season for the Rockets and is going to go down as one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history.
A seven-time All-Star, Harden has scored at least 30 points against every team in the league this season. Milwaukee Bucks superstar swingman Giannis Antetokounmpo may be the front-runner to win the MVP award, but Harden is closing the gap as each game passes.
The Rockets unfortunately lost to the Grizzlies on Wednesday by a final score of 126-125 despite Harden's heroics.
