    Harden hooks his opponent's arms
    Draymon sets illegal screens (and strategically falls into players and kicks)
    Kawhi's pivot foot takes three steps all on it's own
    Lebron flops
    Isiah Thomas carries
    Zaza plays dirty

    I don't like it when the NBA announces they will be taking away any one move as a point of emphasis as there are plenty of players they could be targeting.

    Why is this called the Harden rule? Dwayne Wade started doing this crap over a decade ago and the NBA never seemed to care about then.

    Actually I thought Steve Francis invented the jumping into the defender move. Wade perfected it and won a championship doing that against the Mavericks. Then Harden created a genius version of not just jumping into the defender but hooking his arm to make sure the defender can't get away.

    Makes me think Harden should save his best tricks for playoffs instead before refs can really adjust, assuming he has any other less savory methods of drawing fouls.

    kawhi, durant, harden, and lebron are the best players in the league tho

    the media can hand out mvps and allstar selections, but you cant deny talent

    Harden is better than Wade, Harden's peak grows every year. maybe next year harden averages 32/6//6 on 49/37/89 splits

    Too bad it's too hard to tell if harden is gathering or shooting. Good luck NBE refs.

    CP3 and Melo just made you and the handful of other Harden haters obsolete

    what about lebron and kawhi constantly pushing off to create dribbling space? forearm shivers not part of the officiating gameplan?

    By leaps, bounds, lightyears, etc. He also has better parenting to lean on.

    The league is going to do everything it needs to for Lonzo Ball to succeed. But honestly, Lonzo is way weaker and will probably get wrecked going to the rim etc. Too bad they won't let that happen.

    Good

    I love stepback king Harden

    I can't stand watch him continuously waste possessions trying to drawl fouls especially if the ref isn't calling it but he keeps doing it

    Once the refs get a earful of d’toni , theyll go back to calling those fouls for harden.
