NBA: 3 Houston Rockets players who won the MVP award

#3 James Harden - 1

James Harden finally won the MVP trophy in 2018

MVP season with the Houston Rockets: (2017-18)

James Harden is one of the most electrifying players in the NBA today. With his dribbling and speed, he is a nightmare to guard even for the best of the defenders. Harden is known for his patented step-back three-pointer that finds the hoop on most occasions. He is currently third on the all-time scoring list for the Rockets.

After being the MVP runner-up twice in his career, Harden finally won the MVP award for his impressive performances throughout the 2017-18 season. He averaged career-high 30.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game over the season and the Rockets finished with the best record (65-17) in the NBA.

'The Beard' carried the team on his shoulders, every single night and the Rockets were very impressive. However, after being 3-2 up against the Golden State Warriors in the Conference Finals, the Rockets lost the series in seven games.
