Let me begin by saying that the “all James Harden does is shoot free throws” debate is silly. Yes, he shoots a lot of free throws, but he shoots a lot of everything else too. Also, since when is drawing contact to score more efficiently not a skill?
ANYWAYS- back to the main point of this article- I ran across this insane stat on Twitter that says a lot about Harden’s game.
Look at these numbers. This is just ludicrous.
Over the last two seasons, Harden has attempted 1,107 pull-up three-pointers. The next closest, Damian Lillard, shot only 756 pull-up three-pointers.
