James Harden about to join Michael Jordan in elite territory

His Beardness is well on his way to meet His Airness in one of those awesome cluster of stats that only they could achieve.

After James Harden’s 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists in the Houston Rockets’ major blowout of the Knicks on Friday, Harden is now just 6 rebounds away from joining Michael Jordan as the only two players to total 2,700 points, 500 assist, and 500 rebounds in a season (H/T @RobKSports). More impressively, he’s just 48 points and 6 rebounds away from being the first and only player amassing 2,800 points, 500 assists, and 500 rebounds in a season.
