In 1993, Micheal Williams was a member of the expansion Minnesota Timberwolves as he began a journey towards 97 consecutive free throws that would span 19 games across two seasons.
When Williams was setting this record, Harden was just four years old, likely learning how to pick up a basketball.
It’s been 24 years since Williams set the bar, and nobody has been able to break it. If you think about what Williams accomplished, it is pretty remarkable. What Harden has done over the span of just five games has been mightily impressive. Harden has knocked down 48 consecutive free throws and is halfway towards chasing Williams’ record.
