We’re a little late to the party on this one, but yesterday, James Harden was unanimously named to first-team All-NBA, receiving all 100 first-place votes.
The Beard is in the midst of the finest season of his 9-year NBA career, finishing the regular season with averages of 30.4 points (which led the league), 5.4 rebounds, 8.8 assists (fourth in the league) and 1.8 steals (tied for seventh). He also led the league in scores of advanced metrics, including win shares (15.4), offensive win shares, (11.6), box plus-minus (+10.9), PER (29.8), and was near the top of the league in several others.
