    This has been a guilty pleasure of mine this morning. Rewatching the clip over and over again, picking out different people in the crowd/bench, and watching their reactions. It's been a good morning.

    What makes it special is the whole Johnson collapsing and basically pooping his pants followed by harden looking at him for a rotation around the sun before draining a three. The whole world is talking about this.

    Nba radio did a segment around 10 saying it was the nastiest disrespect move ever.

    Thank God he made the shot. If he hadn't, the clip would be replaying all over this morning for an entirely different reason.

    The morning-after isn't complete without hearing the Spanish version...lulz @Clutch giving us every "angle" of the play.



    Deserves to be put in the OP.

    It is always fun watching the bench reactions.

    Ariza's hamstring is clearly 100% from watching that high stepping to the scorers table!

    If Harden pushed off, then he must have superhuman strength or something because he really just brushed the guy.

    (It's also not a travel because he didn't change or move his pivot foot after he got set.)

    James Harden on his big cross over:

    I swear to God, my whole life flashed before my eyes. Really, I had nothing left to offer except for pure reflex. Pure relfex, and a player's basic drive for greatness that somehow shouts YOU WILL NOT! STOP ME! TODAY! And at that instant man I knew it was either Wesley Johnson or me. Wesley knew it. I knew it. But jeez God, i-it's nothing p-personal, ya know, it's just the way the world works, right? It's basketball. But, if I remember correctly, in that last glimmer of its eyes... there was a moment between us... where Johnson said hey James man... enjoy your dinner. And then I killed him.

    Did anyone else feel the national shift on being a fan of Harden's? Anyone who was sorta on the fence seems converted. We all have known he's a special player but he's been a whipping boy for the national media the last few years. I swear the tide has been shifting but this feels like the straw breaking the camal's back when it comes to his brand/likability and he did it all with his play in spite of the critics. Kudos to James. It's long overdue.

    The MEDIA certainly perked up a bit for sure. Because they like a story. They need to see "specific events." Last night was a story line and an event. Numbers and efficiency bore them.

    NBA Twitter fans though, the haters are still the haters. That won't change.
