Stats: 30 points, 13 assists, 8 rebounds

Do you remember hearing the old adage “Learning from your mistakes will only make you better”? Well, through 10 games this season, it appears as if Harden has overrode his prior shortcomings, dominating in all facets of the game.

So far, Harden has posted career-highs in points (30.6 per game), rebounds (7.8 per game) and in effective field goal percentage (58.2 percent). In the process, the “Bearded One” has busted the preconception of “not being a team player”, averaging 17.1 assists per 100 possessions.
