James Harden: First in NBA History to Score and Assist on 2,000 Points

It might be an obscure record to set, but it proves how dominant and efficient James Harden has been this season. He’s leading the league in assists, but what makes his passing so lethal is the Houston Rockets’ system. The team shoots so many threes, that a large percentage of his passes go directly to long range attempts. This makes the average Beard assist worth more points than the league’s norm.

With the direction the league is headed, James Harden won’t likely be the only player to reach this milestone. In fact, there’s a chance that Russell Westbrook joins Harden this season.
