James Harden’s points per game through quarters 1-3 would No. 2 in the NBA scoring race

James Harden is averaging 27.8 points per game. Through quarters one to three.

Which would actually make him the No. 2 scorer in the NBA scoring race.

All-in-all, Harden, the reigning MVP, is averaging 36.4 points per game which is *actually* leading the league.

Paul George of the Oklahoma City Thunder is averaging 28.2 points per game. So take away Harden’s full-game scoring PPG, and that would make George No. 2 and Harden quarter during quarters one to three No. 2.

Harden has scored 2,545 points so far this season, which leads the league.

Please give this man the MVP award. Again.
