Within the free-wheeling offense of head coach Mike D’Antoni, James Harden has evolved from one of the NBA’s most gifted scoring savants, to one of the league’s most singularly destructive offensive forces ever. That’s why, in July of 2017, Harden was given the largest contract extension in NBA history, worth $227.9 million over six seasons. The runner up for the 2016-2017 MVP award looks like he’ll again be a finalist for the award this season.
