Harden has more fts made than anyone in the league has attempted

[True Lakers Fan]

I'm sorry but this really bothers me.

Harden has 585 made free throws. Westbrook is 2nd in attempts (behind Harden of course) with 531 free throws attempted.

After his 22 attempts tonight, Harden is now up to 698 attempts on the year.

It was the same way for Shaq Oneal because he(Shaq) got fouled so much. I don't see anything in his stats that makes him a target like Shaq was, so I am thinking it's because he is an aggressive player that knows how to create being fouled that puts him at the charity stripe and the referees are buying into it like they normally do
