    My boy house working hard too. I will say Danuel, I hate watching you do that step back in practice looks so much less sexier than James. Kinda like your favorite supermodel waking up after a long hangover sans makeup.

    Needs to be done just like harden

    I love the video, but I don't know how I feel about Irv giving out Harden's secrets.. Only reason why someone would give out secrets is if they have more secrets.. Harden 2nd in MVP voting in 2020 confirmation.

    Don’t think they would be willing to share them if they didn’t have others in store

    It's not really a secret.

    Everyone knows how he late gathers ...

    He's giving them out because it doesn't matter. Nobody else can do it.

    Ricky Rubio thought he knew how to stop harden. Hasn’t happened yet.

    Irv is a cool guy. My son attended one of his camps when Irv was here in Melbourne (before this NBA season) and learnt a lot.
    Was a pretty good start when Irv comes in saying he was talking to Harden minutes before the camp to discuss his preseason workouts.
    Will definitely attend his session again if he comes back to Melbourne.

    Yeah, honestly it's like trying to replicate Hakeem/Jordan/other greats, like on Hakeem you knew what/how he was going to do his Dream Shake, but if you didn't have his footwork (and who did) it doesn't matter. That stepback James is doing is so fluid on the motion like all the casual basketball fans aren't catching where he's actually gathering and then having the steps to still move, and they keep saying "it's traveling!!!", even after watching footage of a ref breaking it down frame by frame... They're still not getting it.

    Yeah, of course the media picked up the few that were travels and continue to replay those but I'd say 95%+ (probably even higher) are not travels at all, so thankfully the refs are calling it correctly and casual fans aren't reffing games. Don't get me wrong the refs still suck but at least they're not messing up on calling that.
