James Harden averaged 27 points, 5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and almost 4 3 pointers a game.
Kyle Lowry is the first player to achieve this award for the Toronto Raptors, since Chris Bosh received it when he played for Toronto over 5 years ago. James Harden is also the first Houston Rocket to lead the NBA in scoring, while also winning the award. Both players should be proud of the accolade, they worked hard for their teams to be in the positions they are now.
