In 2015-16, Steph Curry averaged 19.9 points per game on just 3-pointers and free throws -- the most ever, and it helped him win his second MVP.
But as Tom Haberstroh pointed out in this week's "Big Number," both Curry and Harden this season have surpassed what Steph did during his unanimous MVP campaign.
The Warriors point guard is averaging 15 points per game on 3-pointers and five points per game on free throws, for 20 points.

So yes, without even taking into account 2-pointers, Harden is averaging more points per game than Klay Thompson is total (21.6).
This makes sense, considering Harden shoots 12.4 triples and 11 free throws per contest.
The game has changed, everybody. No one exemplifies that more than James Harden.
