re: Is James Hardens biggest strength getting fouled?

you could say the same thing about Jordan, who got to the line just as much. So did Wade. So do most elite scorers.

It's been a while since I looked it up, but I believe Harden has a far higher free throw attempt per field goal attempt than even Jordan, despite players getting to the line far more frequently during much of Jordan's career and Jordan playing a style much more conducive to getting fouled.

Getting fouled is a skill in and of itself, but Harden's is so ridiculously high that it goes beyond that skill. I don't blame him, but I think the refs are probably doing a poor job of actually identifying legitimate fouls.
