It's incredible how unstoppable he was in Houston, hopefully he can get back to this level.

[@SuhasPai]

As much as I hate watching him take and make around 10 free throws a game, I have to admit, he's one of the greatest scorers of this decade. Dude is unreal.

[@Korijenkins1414]

If he's shooting 10 free throws a game, it's likely that he's good at offense. The idiots that say he baits calls really don't watch the games. He gets hit on almost ever possession, and actually gets fewer whistles than he should.

Also one performance with 44-point triple-double with 10 three-pointers against GSW. A lot of 40+pt performances and triple-doubles. This man is incredible. He can do almost everything on the court. He can even defend if it needed to! And don't forget that he changes the basketball! Maybe not to better side, but still changes.
