steals joins Jason Kidd, Gary Payton and John Stockton as the only players with at least 8,000 assists and 1,900 steals.
Clippers won 50+ games in five of his six seasons (40 wins in 66-game season in 2011-12) after never having more than 49 wins in a season prior in
franchise history Clippers also made the playoffs in all six of his seasons after doing so seven times prior in team history.
TANGO AND CASH: The duo of James Harden and Chris Paul is one of the most decorated backcourts in NBA history. Harden was named to his third
All-NBA First Team in 2016-17, while Paul has been named All-NBA First Team four times, with the last coming in 2013-14 (he was Second Team in
both 2014-15 and 2015-16). In NBA history, there have only been three other times two guards played together who both already had at least
three All-NBA First Team selections:
Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman with Boston from 1958-59 through 1960-61: Cousy and Sharman were teammates from 1951-52 through 1960-61, but
Sharman did not pick up his third All-NBA First Team selection until 1957-58... as teammates, Cousy and Sharman won four championships.
Bob Cousy and Oscar Robertson with Cincinnati in 1969-70: Cousy was coaching the Royals and came out of a six-year retirement to appear in
seven games, averaging 4.9 mpg.
Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash with L.A. Lakers in 2012-13 and 2013-14: Nash was 38 by the time he joined the Lakers and his last All-NBA First
Team selection was in 2006-07, with the last time he was named to any All-NBA Team being 2009-10; he also only appeared in 15 games in 2013-14
(his final NBA season) Mike DAntoni was head coach of the Lakers for the final 72 games in 2012-13 and for the entire 2013-14 season.
UNCHARTED TERRITORY: James Harden led the NBA with 11.2 assists per game last season while Chris Paul has led the league in that category
four times, with the last coming in 2014-15. In NBA history, there have only been four other times a team featured multiple players (at least one
game played) who had already led the league in apg; none of those pairings saw both players average more than 22.0 mpg:
Bob Cousy and Andy Phillip with Boston in 1956-57 and 1957-58: Phillip led the NBA in apg in each of the leagues first three seasons from 1949-
50 through 1951-52 before Cousy rattled off eight straight seasons doing so from 1952-53 through 1959-60 Phillip joined Cousy and the Celtics for
the final two seasons of his career, but only averaged 22.0 mpg in 1956-57 and 16.6 mpg in 1957-58.
Oscar Robertson and Guy Rodgers with Cincinnati in 1967-68: Rodgers was traded from Chicago to Cincinnati only four games into the season and
only averaged 18.9 mpg the rest of the way Rodgers led the NBA in apg twice while Robertson did so seven times.
Bob Cousy and Oscar Robertson with Cincinnati in 1969-70: As mentioned in the previous note, Cousy was coaching the Royals and came out of a
six-year retirement to appear in seven games, averaging 4.9 mpg Cousy led the NBA in apg eight times while Robertson did so seven times.
Mark Jackson and John Stockton with Utah in 2002-03: This marked Stocktons final NBA season and Jacksons second-to-last Jackson
averaged 17.9 mpg while Stockton was down to 27.7 mpg ironically, it was Jackson who ended Stocktons record nine-straight seasons of leading
the league in apg from 1988-89 through 1995-96 Jackson averaged an NBA-best 11.4 apg in 1996-97, while Stockton was second with 10.5.
ON THE HORIZON: Here are some notable milestones within reach this season for several Rockets:
James Harden is closing in on 15,000 points (14,419 current), 1,500 3-pointers made (1,492 current), 1,000 steals (951 current) and 300 blocks (285
current) if he reaches each of those milestones, he would become the seventh player in NBA history to tally at least 15,000 points, 3,500 assists,
3,000 rebounds, 1,000 steals, 300 blocks and 1,500 3FGM joining Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki, and Paul
Pierce Harden will likely reach those numbers before his 700th career game Pierce was the fastest to reach those marks at 913 games (Carter at
984, James at 1,079, Kidd at 1,116, Bryant at 1,158, Nowitzki at 1,398).
James Harden is the fifth-leading scorer in Rockets history with 11,624 points he will likely surpass Elvin Hayes (11,762) to finish the season ranked
fourth Harden also has the third-most assists in team history with 3,222 he will likely finish the season ranked second, surpassing Allen Leavell
(3,339).
Nen recorded his 1,000th career steal vs. Memphis on 11/11/17 and is closing in on 700 blocks (698 current) once he reaches 700 blocks, he will
become the fourth player in league history to reach 10,000 points, 5,500 rebounds, 1,500 assists, 1,000 steals and 700 blocks while averaging fewer
than 28.0 minutes per game (Alvan Adams, Shawn Kemp, Jerome Kersey).
Chris Paul is closing in on 30,000 minutes played (29,981 current) and 2,000 steals (1,935 current) once he reaches 2,000 steals, he joins Jason
Kidd, Gary Payton and John Stockton as the only players with 8,000+ assists and 2,000+ steals Paul currently has the 10th most assists in NBA
history (8,355) and will likely pass Andre Miller (8,524) for ninth this season Paul also ranks 15th in NBA history in steals (1,935) and could possibly
finish the season ranked 12th (#14 Kobe Bryant 1,944; #13 Derek Harper 1,957; #12 Allen Iverson 1,983).
OWNERSHIP CHANGE: On 10/6, the NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved the sale of the Houston Rockets from Leslie Alexander to
Tilman J. Fertitta. I could not be happier, Fertitta said. To own the Rockets in my hometown of Houston is a dream come true. I promise to continue
to make this city proud of the Rockets and to do what we can to bring home a championship. A native of nearby Galveston and a life-long resident of
Houston, Fertitta is the sole owner of the Landrys restaurant empire and Golden Nugget Casinos and Hotels. Alexander assumed ownership of the
Rockets on 6/30/93. Over his 24-season span as owner, Houston won two championships and had the second-most winning seasons of any team in
the league as well as the fifth-highest winning percentage (.569).
OVER THE HILL: Last season marked the 50th in Rockets franchise history. The Rockets went 55-27, marking the third-most wins in franchise history
and made their fifth straight playoff appearance, which is the third longest streak in franchise history. Houston has gone .500 or better in each of the
past 11 seasons, joining San Antonio as the only teams to have done so. Dating back to 1984-85, the Rockets have gone .500 or better in 30 of 33
seasons. No other team has done so more than 28 seasons (San Antonio and Utah). Houston also had the fourth-highest winning percentage (.570;
1514-1144) of any team from 1984-85 through 2016-17.
WERE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!: James Harden was the only unanimous First Team All-NBA selection in 2016-17 and finished second in voting for
MVP. He became the first player in NBA history with at least 2,000 points, 900 assists and 600 rebounds in a single season and the third to have posted
multiple seasons with at least 2,000 points, 600 assists and 500 rebounds, joining Oscar Robertson and John Havlicek. Harden averaged career-highs
of 29.1 ppg, 11.2 apg and 8.1 rpg in 2016-17, marking his third straight season averaging at least 27.0 ppg, 7.0 apg and 5.0 rpg. LeBron James (4
times) and Oscar Robertson (8 times) are the only other players to have averaged at least 27.0 ppg, 7.0 apg and 5.0 rpg in at least three different
seasons.
BELLISSIMO!: Mike DAntoni was named NBA Coach of the Year in 2016-17 after guiding the Rockets to a 55-27 mark after Houston went 41-41 in
2015-16. He became the eighth coach in league history to win multiple Coach of the Year awards (2004-05 with Phoenix) and joins Gregg Popovich as
the only ones who are active. The 55 wins tied for the fourth-most in franchise history. Houston set the NBA single season record for the most 3-
pointers made (1,181) and the Rockets posted their second-highest scoring average in franchise history (115.3 ppg).
TROPHIES: Last season, Eric Gordon not only became the first player in franchise history to win the NBA 3-point contest, he was the first to be named
Sixth Man of the Year. He came off the bench 60 times in 2016-17 after starting 398 of his 417 games played his first eight seasons. Gordon ranked
fourth in the NBA with 246 3-pointers made in 2016-17 after not having more than 141 in a season prior in his career. He set the NBA record for the
most 3FGM by a reserve in a single season with 206. Over the past four seasons (2013-14 through 2016-17), Gordon was one of five players to have
averaged at least 2.5 3FGM while shooting 39.0% or better from behind-the-arc, joining Stephen Curry, Kyle Korver, J.J. Redick and Klay Thompson.
2016-17: In 72 games (all starts), averaged 13.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg in 29.4 mpg 41.8% FGs, 40.3% 3FGs, 86.0% FTs
