From triple-doubles to putting up spectacular numbers, James Harden is continuing to impress basketball and Houston Rockets fans around the nationAfter losing a nail-biter to the Miami Heat on Tuesday, the Houston Rockets very own James Harden hit his personal record for triple-doubles in a season. Considering the fact that the Rockets have half a season left to play, this feat is praiseworthy.This season, Harden’s stats have seen significant growth across the board. Rather than the past few seasons where he primarily scored points, he is now becoming more of an all-around player. For example, his Assists Per Game (APG) has increased by 4.2 assists and his Rebounds Per Game (RPG) has increased by 2.1 rebounds since last season.Because he is performing so tremendously, Harden is also supplying the team with momentum moving forward with the season. Compared to this time last year, the Rockets record is looking quite hopeful. Although it is a long shot, if he continues to improve and other players on his team rise to the occasion, then a title for the Rockets might not sound so crazy.More from Space City ScoopJames Harden Named Western Conference All-Star Starter9h agoHouston Rockets vs Golden State: Game Day Preview9h agoHouston Rockets Recap: Rockets Bounce Back Vs Bucks1 d agoHouston Rockets Recap: Heat Burn Rockets2d agoHouston Rockets vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Game Preview2d agoEven if a title isn’t achieved this year, James Harden MVP sure does have a nice ring to it.
