Harden Pours In 50

Yesterday was the Houston Rockets 20th Anniversary of their amazing title run in 1995. Important players that were apart of that team were there like Hakeem Olajuwon, Robert Horry, Clyde Drexler, Vernon Maxwell, Mario Elie, and coach Rudy Tomjanovic. Houston played Ty Lawson and the Denver Nuggets. Harden lead the way in scoring 50 points shooting 44.4% from the field (12-27), but not only he scored a career-high, Harden grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out 4 assists as well. With Harden scoring 50, he increases his chances of winning MVP this year over other candidates like Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, and LeBron James. Harden is currently #1 in the MVP race after last week he was #3 in the MVP standings. Harden is also 2nd in the scoring race, behind his former teammate Russell Westbrook with 27.6 points per game, with 27.1 points per game. Harden has also been helping his team to a 46-22 record, 3rd in the Western Conference. If Harden continues his play on both ends of the floor, he could win MVP this year and maybe lead his team to the Western Conference Finals, which hasn't been done since the 1995 Houston Rockets' title run.

What will Harden do next? This Year's MVP?
