Scoring guards usually have strong scoring abilities, but throughout history, they have basically had good organizational performance. Because of its aggressive offensive end and solid basic skills, it is not difficult to organize and connect. Legendary point guards such as Jordan, Kobe, Wade, and McGrady also had a lot of assists at their peak. However, there are still very few players who can reach the assist king level. Harden in the league has done this. He has achieved the best score and organization. If he won the assist king twice, will he have the chance to reach the 10,000 assist club?

Speaking of the NBA's 10,000 assists club, it is also a valuable honor. Looking at the history of the NBA, only 7 masters have done it. They are Stockton, Paul, Kidd, James, Nash, Mark Jackson and Magic Johnson, 6 of which are legendary point guards and 1 is a super small forward. In the position of shooting guard, no one has ever been able to approach this achievement. If we want to say that the most chance of achieving it is Harden.

Harden is the most accomplished shooting guard in active service. Although he debuted as a substitute in the early days, after joining the Rockets, Harden reached his peak and grew into a superstar. As we all know, Peak Harden is one of the best scorers in the league. He has been crowned the scoring champion for three consecutive years. In the 18-19 season, Harden averaged 36.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, with an exaggerated data averaged 36.1 points per game, and the highest score since the 21st century, surpassing Peak Kobe's average of 35.4 points per game.

However, before Harden grew into the scoring king and MVP, Harden actually won the honor of assist king earlier. In the 16-17 season, Harden averaged 29.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 11.2 assists per game. At that time, his scoring, rebounds and organization were all top performances, averaging 11.2 assists per game, and he was successfully crowned the assist king. In the late stage of his career, Harden's offensive aggressiveness has weakened. Now his style of playing is more like a point guard and his organizational attributes are heavier. In the 22-23 season, Harden averaged 21 points, 6.1 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game, and once again won the assists king in the 76ers.

Now 36-year-old Harden has been playing in the league for 16 years. He has won the Assistant King twice and is still at the All-Star level this year. So far in his career, his total assists have reached 8,316, ranking 13th in history. Harden is still 1,684 times away from the 10,000 assists mark. In the past five years, Harden has averaged more than 8 assists per game. To maintain his performance in recent years, Harden also needs 211 games to be able to enter the 10,000 assists club, which will take about 4 seasons. So Harden has the opportunity to score 10,000 assists, but it needs to stay first-class to 40 years old, which is very difficult.
