    James Harden's trophy case is a testament to his offensive dominance. He is one of only a handful of players to win both Sixth Man of the Year and MVP. His three straight scoring titles from 2018 to 2020 place him among the elite scorers in league history, and his 2018-19 average of 36.1 points per game is the highest in the modern era. Being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team cements his legacy as one of the game's all-time greats. Harden also led the league in assists twice, showcasing his versatility as a playmaker.
