The hottest player in the NBA this season is James Harden, who is also a folly. Harden, who made his first MVP in the past season continues to be scary this season.
Harden has scored an average of almost his minutes of play in the current season. In other words, He scored nearly one point per minute. The world's top scorers are in the NBA, but the gap between Harden and the second group is substantial. If this is the case, it is very likely that this season he will be on the number one spot in the standings.
James Harden, in this current season he is evolving rapidly. In the 2017-2018 season, Harden was the regular season MVP for the top spot. But this season is different from last season. Harden was the only player in the league to score an average of 30 points (30.4 points) in the previous season. Harden has averaged more than five points this season. It is also very special that the average score of 10 points is improved by this much, and it is tremendous that the average score 30 point player shows like this. It's a 20-percent improvement over last season, but it's hard to find a case in which a top-notch NBA player with 10 years of NBA career development looks like this except Kobe Bryant. The NBA's 10th season of the 2005-2006 season he scored an average of 35.4 points, up 7.8 points from the previous season and 5.4 points above the 2002-2003 career high season.
Harden's average score per game is still the NBA's best. If Harden keeps his current pace and finishes the season with an average score of 1, he will set a record for the NBA. With the exception of Wilt Chamberlain (5 times), Michael Jordan (37.1) is the only basketball emperor in the 1986-1987 season. Given that there are more than 20 games remaining and the current conditions are at its peak, Harden is likely to surpass Michael Jordan record. In other words, Harden is the highest level ever in terms of scoring.
Not only that, Harden scored 61 points in a game against the New York Knicks on January 24 and scored one of his best single games. Only NBA players, including Chamberlain (32), have scored more than 60 games in NBA history. Jordan in his career four times, and Bryant is second only to Chamberlain in six. In addition, Harden scored more than 30 consecutive points in all games played throughout January. Chamberlain is the only player to score 30 consecutive games, even in NBA history.
In fact, Chamberlain has almost every record in the NBA scoring. Chamberlain has scored 50 points on average per game for the single season and a record of 100 points per game. But it is a personal idea that the Chamberlain records should be a little out of the way. Chamberlain's 1960s NBA and today's NBA are very different, and individual player skills and team tactics have also evolved. If Chamberlain is excluded, the 2018-2019 season's ability to score is the highest level ever to match Jordan.
There is another reason to pay more attention to Harden, Harden who was born in 1989, has not yet reached 30 years of age. He has been in his 10th season since his debut, he scored an average of 0.5 points less than his previous season (25.9 points) in that season (25.4 points), except for 2013-14 The average score per game is high.
We are now in the prime of Harden as a scoring machine. But Harden's ability to score now shows that maybe his best time has not come yet. That's why we need to pay more attention to Harden.
