That's what they said about Harden & when you are the best two way player then you don't need to average 30 (see: 93-94 Pippen).

Word?
-Youngest SF to ever win FMVP
-Only SF to win FMVP/DPOY (Hakeem/Jorn)
-Higher WS/48 at 24 that any player not named Kareem, good for 5th All-Time
-Highest DRtg than any perimeter player in NBA history
-Better shooting lines than any player in NBA history: 50.9/48.8/88.7
-Became only the 5th player to go 50-50-90 in a month
-Highest winning percentage of any active player
-Has already dicked down two All-Time SFs in the postseason: KD/LeBron

....he's as accomplished as any 24 yr old SF since the merger & only getting better.
