The history of basketball wasn’t really even created to be an individual sport itself. It was actually supposed to be a daily exercise or indoor activity in the YMCA.

1. James Harden- Houston Rockets Since being traded to the Rockets in 2012, James Harden leads all shooting guards in points scored, usage percentage, and made free throws. He’s established himself as one of the most dangerous offensive players in the entire NBA, regardless of the position.

From his incredibly high usage percentage, to his lack of a legit number two star around him; it’s almost a lock that…
