    Complaining, especially unnecessary complaining, is his thing.

    If it is his celebration, I must say it is creative and original, keep it going James.

    It's kinda weird but whatever. It mostly leaves people confused the first couple of times they see it.

    It's a better celebration when he sprints back up the court grabbing his nose because we know he's ok. When he goes down like that I worry for a second that he is hurt even with as many times as I've seen him do it.

    I've thought about why he does this before and it's almost like he's hard wired to show some sort of contact after every play, even if it is the rim fouling him lol. :D

    I think James Harden wants to troll the National Broadcasters, in making dumb calls. James Harden laughs later on at their stupidity honestly. Also it means the "Analysts" don't watch the Rockets play every night.
    To know even basic celebration dunk.

    Meh, this celebration is kind of annoying...if he jogged back and let everyone know he was okay it would be better. Him squating down makes it look like he really hurt himself.

    These nose bleeds could be a very serious problem. The training staff should look in to them to try to determine the cause but it seems like it only happens when he dunks the ball. I've got a great idea, DanTony should tell Harden not to dunk again until we get to the bottom of it!

    Tilman is too cheap for the players' noses to be properly pressurized.

    From my vantage point last night at the game, it didn't look like anything serious. The guys were having fun all night, which was a great sign. Capela was groovin'. Harden just looked like he was goofing around after that dunk.

    By the way, can we talk about Harden's dunks? Cause I think they're awesome. He never misses with them, even though he doesn't have the height to get up there and slam them down from a high angle. He just tucks them in from the side, yet they always have a lot of oomph to them. This one was great, because he shot in there like bullet out of nowhere. Guy knows how to make a statement, and he obviously enjoys doing it.
