    This seems to be some sort of one-man Pick and Pop play where you set the pick with your butt.

    Anyone know what it is called?

    Thats just a very normal spin and step back move from Harden, if you really want a name lets call it "Jennings suucks"

    But doesn't a step-back require you to step *back* away from someone, like in the Lindy hop. This play, MDA is having Harden step back *with* someone, like Kicker Dancing or a line dance.

    It's the subtle differences in the plays, which makes MDA clever.

    Good thing Bogut can't dribble and shoot threes.

    LOWRY's ASS has shrunk big time. We need to bring back Chukcy Hayes fat ASS to bang.

    Do you think MDA was using a xbox controller controlling every moves of Harden? Coach calls plays, not moves.

    Dance choreographers design two-person dances all the time. This is no different. MDA just showed Harden how to reduce his turnovers on ISO plays, by getting his partner to dance with him ... so, we see him spinning in synch with his partner vs the more error-prone, multistep deception moves like jab step to cross-over to step-back

    Possibly the gayest iso move in NBA history. Even the celebration was suspect. C'mon James

    Potentially true, but I don't think so. I think Harden had 1 second left on the play clock and got off a quick shot.

    Sloan play, actually. Jazz set picks with an ass for over a decade. GIG'd EM!
