Harden answered, “Probably me.” Harden is arguably the frontrunner for the NBA MVP award right now as he is leading the league in scoring with 27.4 points per game while also averaging 6.7 rebounds and 6.8 assists, showing off his versatility despite being a shooting guard.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have got to be kicking themselves for trading Harden right now as Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have proven to be the only consistently reliable players on the team.
Although he is having the best season of his career, the 25-year-old star has more to prove in the playoffs before challenging LeBron James and Durant for the title of “best player in the NBA.”
