It would've been fun to watch Harden use this move back in the playoffs against the Jazz and their, shall we say, unorthodox defense against Harden.
Met Professor outside of an And1 tour when he wasnt officially on the team yet, just a prospect they had, that was traveling with them. Told him he looked like Jim Carey from dumb and dumber and then got his autograph on a piece of cardboard.
I don’t understand the purpose of your post, DD. Aren’t there at least 20 other threads floating around that would be more appropriate discussions about the much improved, in my opinion, defense of James Harden? My impression is that this is a discussion about a new offensive weapon he’s hinted at uncorking this year. Did you watch the videos? Looks like that could be “the move.” What’s your take on it? Personally, I can’t wait to see Harden do that in a game. It looks sure to bring a strong reaction from the broadcast crew. Our own crew, and any crew from ESPN and the like. I’d love to see Jeff Van Gundy’s reaction to it. He’s sure to say something intelligent, which is highly unlikely from several other chumps calling the games. At least we can count on Bill, Bull, Craig and even Clyde to make scintillating comments.
Hate to break it to ya, Deckard, but JR beat you to it. He posted it about a post or two before you did. Remember, "whatever it is, JR's probably already posted it".
I should have known. I was distracted by the kid getting leveled by the football idiot, didn’t see his post, and then somehow ran across the same thing. Like I said in my original post, I never find stuff like this first. J.R. is a machine! If I wasn’t retired, I’d go after him as a replicant.
I think that his new move. It's crazy. Doesn't seem like a one-leg 3 is a high % shot ...unless of course he can hit it regularly ...then it becomes a good shot. But I doubt they'll start teaching that one to high school varsity teams anytime soon.

It looked rather silly and I don't think it's an unstoppable move at all so hope he just focuses on the good stuff.
Love James Harden, but I really dislike this move. It does create separation, but the degree of difficultly to hit the shot negates the pros is brings. I'm betting this one won't pan out unfortunately, although imagine beating the gsw with a one legged three buzzer beater. That would be golden!
Harden next move is flopping after trying to guard zion williamson. Bulls on Parade ducking them elbows!
