James Harden already locked up his first NBA scoring title this week, but made it official Wednesday night as the regular season drew to a close. While he didn't play in the Rockets' finale against the Kings, Harden finished the season with a 30.4 points per game average.
Last season, Harden led the league in assists per game while former Thunder teammate Russell Westbrook was the scoring champ. This year, roles have been reversed as Westbrook topped the NBA at 10.3 dimes per contest - he also averaged a triple-double over the course of the season for the second straight year.
LeBron James finishes his 15th season leading the NBA in total points (2,251), minutes played (3,026), and minutes per game (37.2).
Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons took home his second rebounding title in three seasons, while Anthony Davis led the circuit in blocks per game for a third time.
