    I thought David Stern was trying to get street ball out of the NBA.

    I'm at least 80% sure The Professor would have been a better offseason signing than Michael Carter-Williams.

    I know this is hyperbole. The professor didn't get time on a Juco team. His shot is a little suspect. Most of the moves he does would not work with good players.

    I saw what you did there with the subtle "harden is fat" comment.

    In before Harden does this in a game and a media person tells us how much they hate watching Harden play.

    "Don't be learning my moves in one take."
    -Professor instantly realizes how gifted an athlete that James Harden is

    They cut and then that same guy is in a Hakeem jersey. They stopped that **** fast.

    Harden is so much taller than both of them making this move that much harder; picks up move in a few tries.

    James is such a quiet guy, too. Doesn't try to draw attention to himself at all during that whole scene. Very respectful and pleasant to those guys and gives them legitimate credit as ballers, not just tricksters.

    Clearly, this is the sort of guy that deserves massive, unquenchable hate from all but his piddly fanbase of Houston idiots. :rolleyes:

    I will never understand why Westbrook gets so much love when he is a jerk to everyone.

    Harden is always respectful, quirky at times, and has been the best player in basketball the last 5 years.

    Better signing than Bobby Brown but way worse than MCW.

    Karl Malone

    Hall of Fame: Naismith Memorial Basketball

    If you're a regular reader of this channel, you know the story by now. Karl Malone, then a sophomore at Louisiana Tech, knocked up a 13-year-old. After his collegiate career he went on to make millions but still contested a $125 weekly child support payment. His son, Demetress Bell, turned out to be an NFL player. Still, unlike most deadbeat dads who find out their son's a pro athlete, Malone didn't mend the relationship (probably because he had his own money).

    Instead the Mailman told Bell it was "too late" to be a father, which was such a dick move that it made it to No. 1 on our own Karl Malone Jackass Moments list.

    He already makes so many passes in incredibly narrow spaces (there needs to be stats on this).

    If anyone can do it in a NBA game, it's Harden. Make it happen!

    I love when James Harden does a behind the back bounce pass through two defenders for an easy Clint Capela dunk/lay-up. It's so smooth. He get's it off about "80%" of the time haha.

    I don't think James will try this move any time this season. He's probably working on his step back three, the mid-range floater, and his set-up dribbles. Don't practice stuff you won't use mid game. Too late into the season to add something like this into the game, but he might do it in the all-star game.

    Harden is 6'5, 225Lb. I guess you don't realize the that size unless you stand next to that. Harden is about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch shorter than Clowney. but gives up 50 Lbs.
