Seven baseline figures, one pattern: the biography rows come from CBS Sports while every dollar figure comes from Spotrac.

What is James Harden’s average points per game?

CBS Sports (sports data profile) lists 15.7 points per game for the current season. That is the only scoring average the provided sources confirm, so this section cannot show a multi-season trend.

How does his current-season scoring compare with earlier seasons?

• Current season: 15.7 points per game (CBS Sports (sports data profile))
• Earlier seasons: no verified averages in the provided sources
• Required before publication: a season-by-season table from a league or data source

The implication: the 15.7 figure stands on its own, but any claim about decline or improvement needs earlier-season numbers that these sources do not supply.

Is James Harden the greatest scorer of all time?

No source in this review ranks him as the greatest scorer, and the answer depends on the yardstick. Career points, peak scoring and scoring titles each produce a different list.

Who ranks among the best scorers in NBA history?

• Any ranking depends on criteria such as career total points, peak season scoring or scoring titles
• The provided sources contain no all-time scoring table to place him on

How do his scoring titles compare with other league leaders?

• Scoring title counts must be confirmed against league records before use
• No verified title count appears in the provided sources

The pattern: the greatest-scorer question has no sourced answer yet, so a yes or no verdict here would be opinion presented as data.

Who is a better scorer, KD or James Harden?

A fair head-to-head needs the same stat definition and season range for both players. The provided sources supply that for Harden’s current season only.

How do their scoring averages compare by season?

• Comparisons must use the same stat definition and season range for both players
• No verified Kevin Durant scoring figures appear in the provided sources

The implication: until both players are measured on identical metrics across the same seasons, any ranking of KD against Harden is opinion, and it should name the metric behind it.

Who is better, Harden or Curry?

The provided sources contain no Curry statistics, so this question has no sourced verdict here.

How does Harden compare with Luka Doncic and Kawhi Leonard?

• No Luka Doncic or Kawhi Leonard statistics appear in the provided sources
• Both players must be measured with identical metrics and an explicit season range
• Opinion-based verdicts must be labeled as opinion

The implication: the honest answer is that the data is missing, not that either player wins.

What are James Harden’s career earnings?

Career earnings are not confirmed in the provided sources, so the verified money data stops at contract terms from Spotrac (salary tracking database).

What does his current contract pay?

• 3-year contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers (Spotrac (salary tracking database))
• $96,540,000 total, all of it guaranteed (Spotrac (salary tracking database))
• Average annual salary of $32,180,000 (Spotrac (salary tracking database))

When does his contract end?

• Contract term: 3 years (Spotrac (salary tracking database))
• End date: not stated in the provided sources

The implication: the contract data answers what he is paid now, while career earnings and net worth stay open until a salary-history source is added.

Four comparison rows, one pattern: every verified Harden figure is single-season or contract data, and no row yet holds a matched figure for Durant or Curry.

A 3-year contract worth $96,540,000 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, with $96,540,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $32,180,000.
