Stop me if you’ve heard this before: a superstar NBA player is playing at an insanely high level but it’s not exactly correlating to wins. Houston Rockets fans know this story all too well, as they witnessed it with James Harden in multiple seasons.
Harden led the NBA in total points in 2015-16, while also finishing third in 3-pointers, and sixth in assists, and his efforts barely lifted the Rockets into the playoffs, as they finished with the eighth seed in the West, with a 41-41 record.
